3.12.99. Minsk. Mikhail Chigir. Tired but full of optimism.

On a photo: a piece of the meeting of the chairmen of the businessmen’s structures and organisations of the Republic of Belarus with Mikhail Chigir.

 

There is a preparation to the strike from 1.01.2000

The decision on strike will be accepted till 15.12.99.

 

In small cities small officials of an urban level from controlling bodies have begun a number of provocations concerning the businessmen trading at the markets. Such provocations are realised, as a rule, in those cities, where there are no strong trade unions of the businessmen. They start to "clue" to way-bills, certificates etc. The fools are everywhere. And Belarus it is the only country in Europe where the authority belongs to the fools and the authority is unlimited. The reason is that all legislative and judicial bodies in Belarus are not elected and are assigned. They answer for their actions not before the people and before the chairman. The chairman has planned the fines and expropriations, and they ready to try.

 

The local and republican budgets are empty. In the state where the army of the inspectors is higher than the quantity of the people producing goods and service, robberies (by the fines, expropriations and financial sanctions) is the only capability for existence of these parasites. To make their way up different state inspectors take clothes, food, furniture away from children.

 

The parents selling last things from houses, leaving children half-hungry, pay these mad fines and bribes to these numerous and insatiable inspectors. A shame on the state and its leaders when people, 300.000 men, who have paid taxes for one month forward are the subject to persecutions and offences on the part of the state. Is it necessary to struggle against it? We spend all-republican questionnaires. On results of the questionnaires the solution will be accepted.
