Why do people go to the central square to protest against the battery producing factory.
On Sunday, March 18, those protesting against the building of a battery producing factory gathered in Lenin Square in Brest to "feed the pigeons" once again. This way the Brest residents protest against the construction of a harmful production in the sanitary zone of Brest, Brestskaya Vesna informs.
Feeding pigeons ended with the song "To Live", which the Brest residents specially wrote the day before and made a video clip so that the authorities feel responsible for their actions.
On the square you could listen to the opinion of the Brest dwellers:
"They (the authorities) say they did not expect that there are so many literate people in Brest who can wipe their [authorities'] nose."
"My daughter comes from the kindergarten and tells me about a harmful plant which makes children fall ill. I promised my child that there will be no factory, so I'm here."
"I was at a 5-hour meeting in the Regional Executive Committee on Friday, they did not answer a single question!"
It is obvious that despite the promises of the authorities to tackle the issue, no one believes them and no one is going to take a watchful eye off them.
In conclusion, the Brest residents chanted "No to the plant!"
