Belarusians will join the army of Ukrainian and Moldovan migrant workers
The victory of the Belarusian opposition, which does not agree with the re-election of Alexander Lukashenko as president, does not bode well for the country’s economy.
This opinion, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, was expressed in a commentary to Komsomolskaya Pravda by Vladimir Bruter, an expert at the International Institute for Humanitarian and Political Studies.
“We have before our eyes the example of Ukraine. I haven’t seen anything created there over the past 6 years. During the time of Prime Minister Groysman, it was possible to achieve a certain macroeconomic stability, but this was done at the expense of discrediting the national producer, by including the country in international financial obligations that were unfavorable to it. I'm afraid this will happen to Belarus too. If it follows the opposition’s scenario, there will be no Belarusian economy left,” the expert believes.
He predicts that the country will face mass unemployment after the victory of the Maidan workers.
“The country will turn into a producer and partly an exporter of agricultural products. Nothing that is currently keeping Belarusians at home will work. They will join the Ukrainians, Moldovans and Balts who are forced to go abroad to work,” said the publication’s interlocutor.
He is also convinced that Belarus is of interest to the West only as a means of containing Russia.
“They don't want our influence to take place anywhere. The priority of the West, which it will always be guided by, is a weak Russia, dependent and unable to pursue its foreign policy course,” Bruter concluded.
