Officials of the Vitebsk region and city executive committees, regional and city councils of deputies did not satisfy the request of the chairman of the Belarusian Popular Front Party Leanid Autuchou that the party members could attend the meetings of these bodies. The reason for saying that there is no legal basis for the permanent representative of the Belarusian Popular Front party participation in the meetings.

It is worth paying attention to one thing. In fact, Leanid Autuchou not got four different answers, but one and the same answer in four copies, only for different signatures: the officials of city and regional executive committees and councils of deputies word-for-word repeat each other, down to the commas and grammatical errors - their letters the only differences are in the names of bodies of which they are received, and a list of legal instruments by which they hold their meetings.

According to the law "On Local Government and Self-Government in the Republic of Belarus", "meeting of the Council shall be open and transparent." Defines the law and who can attend meetings of the executive committee: "At the meetings of the executive and administrative authority in the prescribed manner may be representatives of other government agencies and other organizations, bodies of territorial self-government, and citizens."

Thus, if, as stated in the law, all the "open and transparent" when "may be present ... citizens ", it seems to be nothing to prevent the heads of boards and executive committees meet the request of the leader of the Belarusian Popular Front. What are the "legal basis" for them to do still need? Perhaps MPs councils and representatives of the vertical of power at its meetings to discuss some secrets that can not be disclosed to members of the opposition party?
