Media: "Cockroach" Gets Hysterical Because Of Closed Border With Russia
SOURCE: KOVA BATA

"Sasha 3%" is afraid that there will be several hundred thousand more protesters.

The Belarusian authorities are beginning to get hysterical because of the closed border with Russia, AFN reports.

On the eve of the so-called "Independence Day," Ambassador of Belarus to Russia Uladzimir Siamashka offered this topic for public discussion. on July 7, it was raised by "speaker" of the "lower house of representatives," Uladzimir Andreichanka.

"It's necessary to restore the road, air and rail traffic and remove all restrictions on travelling of citizens of the two states across the Belarusian-Russian border as soon as possible, with the strict observance of all anti-epidemic measures," - Andreichanka said at the 58th session of the "parliamentary" meeting of the "Union of Belarus and Russia".

The urgent need to restore communication - the trade between the countries has never stopped - is dictated by the desire of the Belarusian authorities to return Belarusian migrant workers to Russia.

Previously, Russia has already made a concession, allowing the Belarusian rotation workers to enter its territory.

But this does not make any special difference for the Belarusian authorities and Lukashenka. Several hundreds of thousands of Belarusian citizens, bored while waiting for the opportunity to return to work, may well diversify their forced rest by participation in mass protests, for example, on August 9.

The second reason that forces the authorities to demand opening of the borders is of economic nature. Gastarbeiters, as a rule, send part of their salary to families in Belarus. The amount involved is quite noticeable by Belarusian standards: in 2019, workers' remittances amounted to $490 million. Another $125 million of transfers between households and $448 million of wages received should be added to this.

In total, $1.063 billion in real currency - there is a reason to demand opening of the border "as soon as possible."
