Not to appear in prison tomorrow, struggle for freedom today.
The appeal to the businessmen of the Republic of Belarus
Many things in life does not take place by thenselves. There are processes which can and must be controled, there are processes which should be initiated and supported. There are processes which should be "throttled" in a germ.
1917 . The adventurers (revolution), NEP (new economic policy, bloom of the economics), dispossession of the kulaks, violence on the rights and freedom of the citizens, "manual" courts, public prosecutors, legislative and executive authority, mysterious killings and disappearances of people, mass executions.
1994 . The adventurers (visibility of revolution), NEP 1994-1996 (bloom of the private sector of managing at Mikhail Chigir, maximum payments to workers, peasants, employees and pensioners), 1996 dispossession of the kulaks, witch-hunt, terror in the economics, violence on the rights and freedom of the citizens, "manual" courts, prosecutors, legislative and executive authority, mysterious killings and disappearances of the people, mass arrests of the political opponents.
What will the following stage be?.
5 years of cheap populism, disorder of economics, looking for enemies. The best friend of A. Lukahenko - Miloshevich is announced as a war criminal. Tell me who your friend is and I shall tell who you are they say.
Other popular expression comes on mind, when you analyse "policy" of our management to West and the USA about the Elephant and Moska from the fable of Krilov.
Today there is no international isolation of Belarus, today there is an isolation of the policy spent by A. Lukashenko. The majority of western and Russian politicians say thatthey agree to co-operate with Belarus but without Lukashenko.
From 1.09.99 the goods (property) of businessmen will be confiscated without the decision of the court by any sergeant of militia who will pass nearby. The projects of the decrees and orders on which one businessmen will be robbed even more and arrested are prepared. Today one businessman gives money in the budget as taxes and collections in 100-160 (!) times more than an average worker.
The notice: 100.000 businessmen give 20 % of a profitable part of the budget, four million workers give 80 % of a profitable part of the budget.
Today businessmen have put in the most humiliating position. The huge fines for offences which were not committed by a businessman, robbery and racket on the part of the different inspectors. The president and bodies controlled by him have created the whole system on confiscation of property of the citizens. To select and to share is the only duty of the authority was engaged last time. The joint income, fly-off slips, certification, Decree #14 etc. is only an instrument to achieve this purpose. We Have beaten "off" the joint income - "certification" has appeared, then something else will appear. It is necessary to struggle not with consequences and with the illness. Recently A. Lukashenko on TV admitted that he had hold Belarus for 5 years in the hanged condition in a favour of Russia. To whom will he will threaten further it is difficult to say, but not to the own people, it is clear.
Today the authority temporarily (for two months) has suspended a terror against the citizens. They made the favour to the citizens. After a respite terror will proceed with new doubled force.
What should we do? It is necessary to act as a united front to protect the rights and legislative interests. Workers, teacher, businessmen, pensioners, students, house-wives will tell their word 21.07.99. 21.07.99 the authorities of A. Lukashenko submitted to him by the fooled people in 1994stops.
The authority is preparing for this day. New "Zones" are built, there is a re-planning of old "zones" to compress them to accept new people, the power structures are strengthened, people disappear, the parties are forbidden, trade unions, public organisations are also forbidden, the provocateurs are bought, there is a pressure on the leaders of the trade unions, parties and public organisations. The authority does not understand one thing - it digs a tomb to itself by its arms. It is still not known who will appear in these "zones", and the power structures will support the people instead of adventurers.
The businessmen are obliged to be solidary with the requirements of other people demanding the resignation of A. Lukashenko. Or today the authority will be straightened with workers and teachers, then with all who have left. Therefore 21.07.99 the one-day all-republican action of civil defiance with possible prolongation is declared. All markets of the Republic of Belarus terminate the activity and the businessmen join the actions of the protest spent by workers, pensioners, intelligentsia and students. The main measures will be conducted in Minsk. 1.09.99 the all-republican action of the protest with the termination of payment of taxes and other payments is intended.
We have own plan of action. We shall force this authority to go on democratic elections. Only democratically elected government bodies will respect the rights of the citizens and will cancel all these vain and harmful limitations in the field of development of small and average business.
From 20.07.99 all-republican holidays connected with dispatch of the first president of the Republic of Belarus on the deserved rest start. The citizens of the Republic of Belarus are going to sent solemnly A. Lukashenko as further as possible
The notice: to express the pleasure we do not need the sanction of the authorities. Come with families, it is not necessary to remember insults, it is a pity (for "Grigorievich") that 5-year term was finished so soon according to the Constitution of 1994, but he can not do anything, it is necessary to execute the oath given to the people on the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus in 1994.
Those who want to create the trade unions, to take part in the activity of the all-republican businessmans non-state structures, address on tel/fax (8-0152) 31-30-62 (For the letters 230005, Grodno - 5 subscriber box 63)
