The Belarusian Foreign Ministry explained the protests in the EU by social policy

Foreign Minister of Belarus Maxim Ryzhenkov said that protests in a number of EU countries, including France and Spain, are related to the policy of the leadership of these countries to support the conflict in Ukraine and other conflicts at the expense of social policy, which leads to insufficient funding for healthcare, education and infrastructure.
