Brest Residents on the Authorities: They Would Sell Their Own Mother

The struggle against the battery plant has been conducting in Brest for the fourth month.

For the tenth time hundreds of residents of Brest go to protest against the construction of the battery plant, Belsat informs.

"This is the thing that I can do for this city, for residents, because I am not satisfied with what is going on," a local resident says.

"The authorities do not hear us: no matter how hard we try, Lukashenka does not hear us," the participant in the protest says.

But the reaction of the authorities instantly manifested itself in other situations. Thus, the image of the street artist "Apotheosis of the Protest" appeared on the wall of the evicted house last week was almost immediately painted.

At the same time, indifferent Brest residents continue to collect signatures. But not only against the construction of the plant, but also for the removal of officials from office: head of the region Anatol Lis, head of the district Uladzimir Senchuk and the head of the city Aliaksandr Rohachuk.

"They would sell their own mother, if they had a chance. This is my opinion, if they think about their children and grandchildren, they would have stopped the construction," the Brest resident says.

The fight for the right to live and breathe fresh air has been conducting for the fourth month. Neither 37 thousand signatures of indifferent Brest residents, nor repeated meetings with the authorities, nor even the courts prevented the potentially harmful battery plant with lead emissions from construction.

The authorities say that the plant will emit the minimum harmful substances into the atmosphere. And one of the main arguments of officials is 180 jobs and four and a half million dollars of annual revenue to the budget. The construction of the plant continues.
