Statkevich Supports Protest Action of Entrepreneurs

The opposition leader urges all the Belarusians to join the rally to stop robbery by the Lukashenka clan.

Mikalai Statkevich wrote it on his Facebook page. Charter97.org presents the address of the leader of the Belarusian opposition.

Lukashenka has recently pushed his nose in pockets of the Belarusians. He doesn't want to take economic reforms to control people at ineffective state enterprises. He is afraid of losing his power. To gain support of Moscow, he has tied Belarus to Russian resource-based economy. Now, when the world economy, as well as our neighbouring EU countries have a sustainable growth, the Belarusian economy and the Russian one face steep diving following oil prices.

Lukashenka practices nothing more but robbery of his own nation. New taxes are being introduced. Prices and housing and communal services are increasing. Besides, the head of the Belarusian regime has deprived us from the right to buy things we want. He wants us to make buy goods of ineffective Belarusian industry, instead of cheap and quality goods. Decree No. 222 aims to destroy the activity of IEs, who sell cheap and quality goods.

Limits on parcels from abroad are introduced. Lukashenka steals money from citizens, instead of reduction of government spending on bureaucrats, the biggest state of "law enforcement officers", luxury cars, planes and castles across the country. Although "family" savings will not be enough to stay away from foreign loans.

They won't stop stealing from the people. But we can stop them.

I personally support the rally of February 15, Kastrychnitskaya Square, Minsk. I urge IEs to participate in it. Who is going to protect us?

I urge all people who do not want one person to retain power in his hands to participate in the rally on February 15.

Zhyvie Belarus! ("Long live Belarus!").

Earlier, charter97.org informed that the leaders of the Belarusian opposition had urged to unite and take the main Square in the country. Entrepreneurs are to take the rally in Minsk, despite the fact that ROO Perspective has withdrawn the application. Civil rights activists and opposition leaders of Belarus intend to support IEs.
