MINSK, 18 October (BelTA) – Poland will never become a home for Belarusians who left or fled the country, national security expert Aleksandr Tishchenko said in a new episode of the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA's YouTube channel.
"Poles are not very happy about the influx of Belarusians, as there is a lack of jobs in the country, which leads to rise of competition and undercutting. Migrants work for lower wages, take any job and, in fact, drive out Poles from the labor market. Certainly, Poles respond to this aggressively by bullying children, adults, and others. Everything is quite logical," Aleksandr Tishchenko said.
The expert pointed out that Belarus has various welfare programs and is introducing new ones. "This is very expensive. A country should spend a lot on benefits to prevent labor shortages. Poles just came up with a marketing trick – a Pole's card. They encourage people to arrive and promise them everything. But these are only promises," he emphasized.
Aleksandr Tishchenko stated that Warsaw needed Belarusians only as cheap labor force: "They invite Belarusians to work on plantations as slaves. Without a social package you are just a slave."
According to him, Belarusians will leave Poland anyway, sooner or later. "Poland will never become their home. They are starting to realize it, but still afraid to admit it. They realize that they made a mistake. After all, homeland is still homeland. There is no way to remove the homesickness," the expert concluded.
