A German family that moved to Belarus because of “LGBT propaganda” has decided to return to the EU

Four and a half years ago, Patrick and Anna Schneider left Germany to escape “LGBT propaganda” and lockdowns. The German family with two children bought a house in the Belarusian village of Ogorodniki in the Slutsk District, praised Belarus, and even appeared in a TV report for Belarusian state propaganda. But now they are selling their house and planning to return to the EU, writes the publication Salidarnasts reports.

Initially, Ukrainian Anna and German Patrick left Germany for Austria because of “LGBT propaganda” in kindergartens, as they told said in a BT report several years ago. They found themselves there during the coronavirus pandemic. “During COVID, we spent two years living as if in a gilded cage: work, eat”, Anna said.

“A huge amount of LGBT propaganda began appearing in Germany and across Europe. For example, kindergartens had brochures saying that you could be whoever you wanted to be.

You walk down the street and see this enormous billboard with two half-naked guys on it. They’re wearing pants but nothing on top, and one of them has his hand down the other’s pants.”

It was impossible to put up with this, so the Schneiders moved to Austria. They settled in a beautiful tourist town in the mountains, but the COVID pandemic began just three months after they arrived.

So why are they now returning to Germany?

After 4.5 years, the family is leaving Belarus. Here is why.

— Perhaps the most important reason is finances, — Anna Schneider says. — I used to think that living without enough money would not be so difficult—that if you had all the basic amenities and your own vegetable garden, that would basically be enough. But now I realize that I do not want merely to live, to exist. I want to be able to let my children travel, to buy them what they want, and not have to count every penny.

По словам Анны, самая большая сумма, которую она заработала за месяц — тысяча рублей (около 300 евро, – прим. Doberman.media). И это был март, когда женщина три дня подряд подрабатывала продажей продуктов собственного производства. Она делала кондитерские изделия, хлеб тофу и растительное молоко — все без сахара, глютена и продуктов животного происхождения.

Patrick was renovating the house, which the family is now selling for $90,000. After arriving in Belarus, Anna found a half-time job as a nurse and earned 350 rubles.

— Now, four years later, I could be earning around 750 rubles in the very same job, but I can't work more than half-time because of the children. With his poor Russian, Patrick could work as a laborer on a construction site and earn around 1,500, but that would hardly be worthwhile, of course, — she reasons.

According to Anna's calculations, the most they could earn would be 2,500 rubles (около 720 евро).

— A family of four cannot live decently on 2,500 rubles. That would be mere subsistence. I don't want to skimp on food; I want to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. And we're vegan. Vegan food isn't common here, so we have to make everything ourselves.

In her next video, she gave another reason for leaving. She spelled out the word “war,” noting that she was afraid to say it aloud.

— Something will happen everywhere, more in some places and less in others. Unfortunately, we are not living in good times. So you have to choose where and with whom you want to be during this time, and we ultimately decided to stay close to our relatives, in familiar surroundings, — the woman explained.
