Over 100thsd small business representatives engaged in the entrepreneurs’ strike on March 12. The strike was part of the national campaign People’s March “For Better Life!”.
Today the Minsk marketplaces “Tractor”, “Akvabel”, “Chervensky”, as well as trade centers “Zerkalo”, “Palace of sports” and “Parking” halted their business operations. The country’s largest commodity market “Dynamo” is totally empty. Few still sell at “Impulse”, while “Kupalovsky” and “Underground city” are totally closed. Sellers of foodstuffs at “Komarovka” joined the strike, but as far as their stuff can get spoiled soon, many of them began trade.
Most of “Zhdanovichi” tradesmen also skip trading today, just like the retailers from Grodno, Mogilev, Gomel, Vitebsk, Svetlogorsk, Rogachev, Mozyr, Borisov, Baranovichi, Zhlobin, Pinsk, Soligorsk, Novopolotsk, Volkovysk, Berezy, Petrikov. Contrary to the pessimistic expectations and state media reports, two largest Brest markets went on strike too.
This evening, as you know, Minsk will host the People’s March “For Better Life!”, which the striking entrepreneurs will join too. The action will start at 6p.m. at the Yakub Kolas square.
