BBC: Protestors Blocked Major Road In Brest

The leading international publication wrote about a large-scale protest rally in Brest.

“Over a thousand protesters against the tax on "parasitism" marched through the central streets of the Belarusian Brest and blocked traffic on the main avenue of the city," – the BBC reported yesterday.

Protesters shouted "Basta!", "Lukashenka, go away!" "We don’t want to pay to thieves, parasites, and cops", "No salary – there is a tax, replenishing a deputy’s purse", “The real parasite is the one who has invented the decree."

Some of the participants of the unauthorized rally - about 150 people - agreed to go to the local administration to meet with Mayor Aliaksandr Ragachuk.

However, over a thousand people, led by local anarchists, marched through the main streets and blocked traffic on the main avenue of the city - Masherov Avenue, - for a short while.

Car drivers supported the marchers with salutatory signals.

The police did not intervene in the unauthorized protest.
