About the congress, about the forthcoming choices and not only about these events.
29.07.2000 in Minsk the Belorussian congress For independence took place.
The declaration was accepted. There were more delegates at the congress than places in the hall. Many delegates were not let into the hall as there were no places. The idea of the congress is very good. The beginning of congress was promising. But
I had an impression that we shall not defend the independence in such a way. None of the speakers didnt offer a way to defend the independence of the Republic of Belarus. A lot of speakers, especially the deputies of the former Supreme Council of the 13th- convocations used a tribune for the self-advertisement and misleading of the delegates. Everything is wrong. There wasnt any new person. There is no life in the eyes of these people, there is no any stirring idea. Some speakers just talked for 15 minutes. If we take into account that circumstance that before the acceptance of the resolution nobody was given a word except for the speakers on duty and the organisers of the congress refused the businessmen to take part in the preparation of this congress, we shall come to a conclusion that our expectations for this congress were not come up. The congress was the next measure on duty for the have-beens.
They threw dust in our eyes. They shouted and broke up. Lukashenko, perhaps was terribly frightened.
It would be better to read the resolution, to accept it and to break up. It would be economy of time and means.
The businessmen support the idea of independence of Belarus. But we are sure that while there are such as Domashes and Lebedkos, former comsomol workers, the revolutionaries such as Ploskovitsky and others removed from the seed-can in the movement for independence this movement will doom to failure.
I deeply belief: all these movements led by the have-beens have one purpose to get as many money as possible from the trustful western and American investors to struggle with a mode. They dont need any democracy. If they dont get the external financing a lot of these noisy speakers will not stir a finger. They are venal people. What good things have they who were the leaders earlier done for people? Lets recollect. Nothing!!! They were expelled from the leaders. Are they now the main defenders of people?
The earlier each of us open eyes the faster the changes will took place in the country.
70 % of the delegates of the congress are active and deeply ideological people. We should take off a hat before them. But, unfortunately these people are tried to transform in the cannon-fodder in new political game between families to establish a new mode.
For what are we called? To unite against Lukashenko. Let's remove him and everything will be O. K. It is a fairy tale. Lets see at things in succession.
To unite. Let's try to solve some school tasks.
The first task. What will be if 5 men who can not do anything unite. The answer is nothing. None will be function. Well, and if ten or twenty men who can not do anything unite and in one powerful vote will declare that they soon will begin to function. The answer is though one thousand. The effect will be same.
The second task. What will be if 10 men who can not do anything and a normal man unite. The answer. Only one will function. But other 10 participants of the coalition will shame this man in every possible way " for his liaisons with women. Moreover, they will come to the decision not to let these liaisons. The men who can not do anything will prove this decision scientifically and dont let the man in every possible way to look at women. As a result of long abstention "the man" will turn into a man who can not do anything.
If we transfer the above-mentioned examples on the political arena, the following picture will turn out. Some political men who can not do anything were unite. They have announced that they are FORCE. But we know that they are the men who can not do anything. And they know it. 5 years of empty "struggle" and shaking of air. The position of an ostrich is very convenient for such men who can not do anything. A head is in the sand. All fuck it. It, an ostrich, will not understand who does this thing, but it is indignant.
But this thing is not main. Let's remove tomorrow A. Lukashenko. Who will take his place? "The have-beens? Look carefully at our new "leaders" of the nation. Practically they all are from the team of A. Lukashenko. You never think that A. Lukashenko and his team have prepared the ways of retreat for themselves for a long time. The members of his team become the main representatives of oppositionto themselves. I do not know Your thoughts, but I do not believe them. They shout very much, but they dont do anything FREE-OF-CHARGE.
In result the authority from Lukashenko will pass to..Lukashenko or his people.
Elections. Yes, the Selective Code is not modified. Yes, there are difficulties with the realisation of the right of the citizens to elect and to be elected. Well what about it. We earlier did not know for whom we voted. Ask any passer - by for whom he voted on the elections to the Supreme Council of the 13th- convocations, and when a chosen representative of the people met the voters. The answer in 99 cases from 100 will be one - I do not know.
Who is today against the elections? The former deputies of the Supreme Council of the 13th- convocations and the members of BNF deceived by them. Why are "the have-beens" against? They have a lot of "correct" arguments: they have not enough TV, laws are bad, the legalisation of the mode etc. It is a nonsense. A man who can not do anything will find 100 "correct" reasons not to perform the man's duty.
The basic reasons of the have-beens not to wish to participate in the elections, from my point of view, are much deeper.
1. Personal insult. "The have-beens will never forgive A. Lukashenko. He changed the rules of the game and has removed them from "the seed-can".
2. After the elections of a new parliament, all deputies of the 13th- convocations lose the powers and can not go on foreign business trips. The foreign business trips are the large money and connections.
3. The have-beens have a small chance to be elected once again. The people dont believe them for a long time.
4. Being a member of the opposition is a well paid profession for them.
5. For A. Lukashenko it is favourable that the progressive people dont take place in the parliament, and a new parliament should be the same.
6. They buy from A. Lukashenko more powers and privileges to themselves.
Today we are the hostages of that adventurous policy which is conducted by the former deputies of the Supreme Council. Think! Their motto is than worse, the better. They wait, when we are completely poor and stand up against A. Lukashenko. It is the state approach!!!
People become poorer and people who consider themselves to be "the leaders" of opposition do not want to become poorer with people.
Cellular telephones new costumes, smart foreign cars etc is a habitual attribute of the unemployed defenders of the people for many years.
We, politicians of a new generation, think that you should fight to be the leader under any conditions.
It is necessary to create system when the authority of one man will be practically impossible, it is necessary to work with people. It is necessary to fight, first of all, with the system, which has been created by A. Lukashenko and the deputies of the Supreme Council of the 13th- convocations. If today someone from his former supporters, now he is a representative of opposition, come into office nothing will change in this state. All of them were and are the old party workers.
If speak about the congress again we are sure that it is necessary to create the normal and healthy opposition without "men who can not do anything.
