Lukashenka Makes Yet Another Anti-Semitic Statement

The dictator made accusations of “crimes” based on nationality.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka made an anti-Semitic statement during a meeting with the government.

Talking about the corruption scandal involving his former assistant, inspector for the Vitsebsk region, ex-Minister of Agriculture and Food Ihar Brylo, the dictator said that three dozen people were involved in the criminal case with him.

“Here are three dozen people listed. Excuse me, I am not an anti-Semite, but more than half of them are Jews. Is that some sort of a special, privileged position, that they steal and do not think about their future? Everyone is equal before the law. Jews, and Belarusians, and Ukrainians, Russians and Poles,” Lukashenka said, without explaining what connection he believes exists between a person’s ethnicity and corruption.

Lukashenka’s anti-Jewish statement was shown in the evening broadcast on the state television channel “Belarus 1”.

Let us recall that on December 25, at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in St. Petersburg, Lukashenka made an anti-Semitic joke in front of Russian journalists.
