Negotiation came into impasse? Is not present! They did not begin at all.
It is impossible to name empty meetings and conversations between the separate officials and separate businessmen from special services as negotiation. Using a case would like to thank an active of trade unions of the businessmen that they were not frightened of a militian terror. To them threatened with physical violence, imprisonment, and administrative arrest. The militiamen, from the sergeant up to the colonel, constituted on them the protocols for distribution of the trade-union literature, them offended, but they have stood, became tempered and are again ready to work, to protect the rights of the businessmen, to struggle for democracy in Republic of Belarus. Practically, all actives of strike committee and trade unions of the businessmen have undergone to reprisals and various form to influences from the party authority propertying. Neither the judicial reprisals, nor terror of authorities can stop us.
Negotiation, as well as, it was necessary to expect, have not begun and, probably, will not begin. Three times we addressed in government and to A.Lukashenko with the offer to begin negotiation, but they (government and A.Lukashenko) are hidden on the cabinets. The patience ours is not boundless and consequently we begin the new shares of the protest: meetings, demonstrations, one-day STRIKE.
The authority has acted under the standard circuit. Have given us " small bone " as a cancellation of the VAT and "moratorium" on punitive and confiscatory measures, have made colour of negotiation with pocket trade union "Sadrugnast" and "have bought" a pair of our former supporters: Andrjushenko- Baranovichi, Shevchenko - Novopolozk. What the traitors, degenerates or borings are more terrible -? I do not know. But that they harm to us is a truth. The negotiation has not begun because of them. They for pleasure consider drinking vodka with the minister, to be taken for a hand or other body of the official. For pleasure: beside to be photographed with the minister - mother native will sell, instead of that us with you.
For treachery of our interests of authority solve it "rascals" from trade unions to act on TV, in state MASS-MEDIAS and to go on receptions on the cabinets. If I doubted of the one earlier who costs behind assassination A.Pecherski (Leader of trade union Sadrugnast), now all doubts disperse. A.Pecherski attempted to intimidate and to buy. Has not left. Then him has killed. And not only have plundered (at him there was a large sum of money), but also have put instead of him obedient "aunts". Why have put? Yes because choices on lawful basises of the present management of trade union "Sadrugnast" after death A.Pecherski was not. (That reconfirms by the words of the members of this trade union). Those who stood behind this crime, probably, nominated the management of trade union. All subsequent events: failure of strikes, work on authority, defamation, dissentient policy- all this convinces me of the given version of destruction ours the colleague.
All of you remember as at Katia Naumovich and Maya Seniski, present leaders of trade union Sadrugnast, the problems with trade places in the market and law-enforcement agencies have begun. Now at them the problems are not present. About two years back A.Sazonov (minister) two hours the labour contract offered to me in exchange for treachery of your interests to become the personal friend A.Lukashenko, to open all doors in any cabinets and to communicate with all officials. In default from the offer, threatened with reprisals. I have chosen second. After that the asset was confiscated from me, there were numerous attempts to excite criminal cases, the searches of a house and at office were conducted, the computer engineering was withdrawn, my children repeatedly lingered over by the employees of militia, 13 days has conducted " on day " with bomgamy, has undergone to tortures and lawlessness etc. Is well and what? It is better to live by the honest decent man, than to go against the principles. But we shall return to our "heroes". I am sure, that Katia and Maya have received the similar "tempting" offers. And they have chosen the first variant of the offers. By the way, one more way of levy of troops - "work" with the businessmen finding under inquest. Behind examples far it is not necessary to go. Is in Grodno is no time "hot" our supporter. But against him have excited criminal case for fine repeated administrative violations. Now it "manual". Actively conducts work on disorder of trade union and spelling of the every possible information against. While will work on authority, business in court will not transfer. I know, such offers act to many businessmen. The majority of the businessmen prefer the dock to treachery. But, unfortunately, there are exceptions.
The authorities are very favourable are to created by colour of negotiation. But all of you should understand one - to plunder there is nobody more. At you, at the businessmen, the houses are still assets. The state will never effect competitive production under the present management. Therefore unique way of existence of such state is redistribution. The redistribution occurs at the expense of confiscation at the businessmen to the formal and far-fetched signs. Belarus is a unique country in Europe, where there is a wide trade network on realization of the confiscated goods. To the general item of information, the registration of public organization, private enterprise or businessman in the civilized countries borrows no more than 10 minutes - has filed application and work! And at US? The cancellation of the VAT and "moratorium" on the approbation is half measure. And the appropriations and penalties proceed. The negotiation till now is not begun. Therefore we begin preparation of meetings and demonstrations till all to Republic of Belarus, one-day shares of the protest, share of civil disobedience.
