Krutoi comments on attempts by Belarusian opposition to hype on labor migration topic 

MINSK, 27 April (BelTA) – Self-exiled opposition is trying to hype on the labor migration topic, Head of Belarus President Administration Dmitry Krutoi said on the air of the Belarus 1 TV channel, BelTA learned. 

“They are certainly detached from all the developments that are happening in the country. They try to spin any hot topic by spreading crazy fake news. But in 2020 we got certain immunity. We have gained some experience of how to counter the fake news,” Dmitry Krutoi noted.

“It's bad that they are trying to use young people who, on the one hand, don't really understand what it's all about, and on the other hand, don't realize the responsibility for this,” the head of the President Administration added.

The other day Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko commented on one of the topics that is being discussed on the Internet after his talks with the leaders of Pakistan: “We did have such a conversation, they raised the topic of labor resources, as they have them in excess, and we do not have enough.”

Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that many countries and regions, including the European Union and Russia, are struggling with the shortage of labor resources. “Naturally, the European Union, Russia, and, probably, Belarus will have to accept the fact that people from other countries, mostly Asian nations, will work here. During the negotiations with the Pakistanis, we agreed that we will draft a program that will be approved by an intergovernmental agreement. In other words, we need to develop a mechanism to prevent the things that some are trying to scare us with,” the president said. 
He remarked that some are exploiting this topic in order to rile up the Belarusian society. “I have instructed the KGB to find out where it's coming from. It has come from the self-exiled opposition. They carefully watch what we do and put their own spin on what we say in order to try to make it part of public discourse. They [the KGB] found one such source in Belarus. It turned out, it was a 16-year-old brat. Well, it is highly unlikely that he studied all the materials and came up with this idea himself. They sent him the information from there [abroad] and told him to twist it. If my memory serves me right, such a group was detected in Brest Oblast,” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.
