"People are in despair. I saw how the women were crying, because there is no money. On New Year gave everyone on the cake - and all. The director said, will cost no money. Booker wrote the application for dismissal. Not signed them. Head threatened, who resign, will not be allowed to get anywhere else," - says another villager Sitcy.
We also reported the delay of salaries in KUGSP "For the Motherland" (Udzieła, Hłybokaje district), GP "Aziarcy" (Hłybokaje district) branch "Proškava" of "Hłybokaje rajagroservis", JSC "Barsučanka" (Dokšycy district) on farms in Brasłaŭ, Šarkoŭščyna districts.
January 21 on a straight line deputy chairman of the Viciebsk Oblast Executive Committee Vladimir Belousov called farm worker from Dokšycy district and said that living without a salary since October. Also he complained that did not receive a salary for October, the farm worker and mother of three children from Miory district.
BelTA news agency reported that these issues are "taken under control". "We are all well aware that people cannot live without money, so these problems need to be addressed quickly," - said Belousov. A month has passed, but the situation with wages in agricultural enterprises has not changed.
"In all districts of delay, all collective lap. That issue sausages, at the store part of the salary being moved. As a result, minuscule hand out, and even detained. No all you will not find "- sums up one of our interlocutors.
Asked about the situation at the camera, one of our interviewees said: "I do not want any trouble. I heard of a case where in the SEC "Strynadki" woman called Viciebsk [to talk about non-payment of wages], so Morhat [Chairman of the Hłybokaje district executive committee] was angry at her. Even threatened to take away her children. I do not want such problems. Sorry".
"Morhat one another" handsome. "On the question of how to live and how to raise children for such wages and non-payment of child allowances, replied briefly: "If you cannot raise a child, give him to Stanuli [orphanage], the state will grow him'", - says another, our interlocutor .
We cannot verify whether Oleg Morhat really said such words. But a few years in office as chairman of the executive committee, he earned a reputation as a man who says sharply and harshly treats employees and residents of the district. Therefore, it is not surprising that most of our interlocutors ask us not to call them names.
Agriculture - presidential houses in agro-towns and planted fields - has recently been the subject of official propaganda pride. But domestic agriculture was kept on government subsidies and soft loans. When in the budget because of the crisis was less money, it turned out that the state agricultural enterprises cannot survive a year without external assistance.
Particularly difficult situation in the Viciebsk region, where land is less fertile, while the share of unprofitable enterprises - the largest in Belarus. Thousands of people who provide bread, milk and meat of the country, found themselves on the brink of survival.
