Opposition activists bring empty purses to Ministry of Economy
Representatives of the Belarusian Christian Democracy (BCD) held a symbolic action at the Ministry of Economy and made proposals to reform the Council of Ministers.
“The most basic things have to be done in Belarus, the entire civilized world has passed through it: give freedom to small and medium-sized businesses, ensure the independence of the courts, ensure that they are not used to pressurize Belarusian business, but for international investment companies and Belarusian businessmen to appeal. Also, the economy of Belarus has to be made independent of the state, state control should be reduced,” co-chairman of the BCD Vital Rymasheuski commented on the need for changes.
In addition to the action, BCD activists brought to the Council of Ministers a draft of economic reform, which was developed by independent Belarusian economists under the direction of Stanislau Bahdankevich.
