Volha Mikalaichyk: Street Rallies Are To Stop Robbery from the authorities
VOLHA MIKALAICHYK

The Belarusians will fight against the decree on "parasites" in autumn.

Film director and public activist Volha Mikalaichyk said that in her interview to Charter97.org.

– You wrote on Facebook that you were fined $ 450 for a rally with national flags. Why do the authorities fear the white-red-white flag?

– Because this is the real history of Belarus. Lukashenka fears the white-red-white flag, because there have never been tyrants, dictators, communists and other Soviet leaders under this flag. The aristocracy, the nobility and the real Belarusian soldiers carried the historical flag. And now the best, the most progressive and courageous representatives of the Belarusian nation come out under white-red-white flags. The people, who chose to fight for their rights, stand up under this flag.

Besides, the occupational Belarusian-Russian exercises West-2017 are coming. Moscow puts pressure on Lukashenka to ban these flags in the streets. They want tricolors everywhere.

They are very afraid of this flag. We stood for a couple of minutes by the eternal flame to pay tribute to those who fought for our Motherland under the white-red-white flag. This is a shrine, and it's devilry to give a 450-dollar fine for a shrine. What would you expect from our tyrannical power, if they are hell-born?..

It is very important to hold such ralliess. They show our people and the Europeans who read about the situation in Belarus, that we have not disappeared from the map of Europe and are a part of European civilization. People see that Belarusians are fighting for their values.

– Do such actions inspire the young ones?

– Young people must not be afraid to go out with the national flag. When there are not three of us, but thirty thousand, not a single pro-Russian narrow-minded "green man" will come here. And Putler (Russian President Vladimir Putin. – Ed.) will finally understand that this country does not belong to him. Therefore, I call upon all the Belarusians not to be afraid and go out with white-red-white flags! When there is a lot of us, they will not arrest all of us.

– Will Belarusians fight for their rights against the decree on "parasites" in autumn?

– Absolutely! Over the summer, the economic situation in the country has deteriorated even more. If the decree on "parasites" is back, it will not even be a kick in the teeth for the Belarusians, it will be a real mockery! At first, the authorities said they stopped it, and now they are back to it again. It proves that you cannot trust this power – they say one thing today, and the opposite thing tomorrow. They will clean us out. And only street protests can stop this robbery.

Today we are witnessing the collapse of the Belarusian authorities’ policy. The barbarians, kolkhozniks and crime bosses decide who is the next to be robbed. Therefore, we need to take to the streets not to let them do that.
