Entrepreneurs’ Strike Ushers in “People’s March” Rally 11:47, 12/03/2003
March 12 morning saw a countrywide entrepreneurial strike, which is held within the framework of the national action 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. Interestingly, two hours prior to the start of the working day, the BT TV group arrived there to video 30 kiosks, which were purposefully erected on the empty square. 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. We’ll update you today about the places, where they hold their strikes. This evening 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. The actions of solidarity with it will be carried out throughout the country and outside it.
