In front of the City Council held a spontaneous rally, which was attended by about 200 protesters who do not agree to pay each time for 50 thousand rubles for the opportunity to fish in the lake Łukomskaje. On the rally and meeting with Chairman of the executive committee said the head of department of the Belarusian Free Trade Union at Łukomal hydroelectric power station Alex Gabrielle.
According to the union leader, has been fishing here for free. Most of the locals did not even know that the lake Łukomskaje rented a private entrepreneur, and that he made a payment for fishing. Meanwhile, fishing on the lake – a traditional occupation for the residents of the city.
The lake is a technical body of water power plant, says the activist of Free Trade Union: "We are eight blocks, and the condensate is drained into the lake, it is warm – plus 25 degrees. The water in this place does not freeze, it is actively growing algae. Therefore, especially carp fry start to it ate vegetation. Silver carp grows into a large lake Lukomsky under 30 kilograms. So what is it? We are working on a hydroelectric power station, and we still have to tear up the money? People did not know, we went into the weekend, and then they say, "Pay up!" And that "pay" who "pay"? For what "pay"?"
By the way, to pay them to travel far outside the city, in the fishing industry, to search there for accountants – and only then go fishing. After walking in the boots and so with all the equipment, do not want that fish, says Alexei Gabriel.
He witnessed how about two hundred Novałukomal perturbed residents gathered near the city executive committee. There was a spontaneous meeting. With people talked to the chairman of the executive committee Vitaliy Fadeyev. He explained that the decision to transfer the lake for rent took Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, and that is where you need to ask why the tenant has announced a fee fishing.
January 27 Alex Gabrielle personally attended the reception at the chairman of the executive committee. He says that Mr. Fadeev understand the absurdity of the situation – why, in a time when the city budget a little money when it is not repaired roads and vegetate urban infrastructure, the tenant impose fishing for money, and they did not go to the local budget? Let yourself be more fee was 50,000 at least once a month, but not every time ... Chairman of the Executive Committee promised to write to the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, and apply to fee fishing abolished.
BFTU activist Alexei Gabriel remembers that a similar situation in Novałukomal was already 10 years ago. While Łukomskaje Lake loaned Čašniki PMK and tenants also tried to introduce a fee for fishing. Then a delegation headed by representatives of the BFTU with Łukomal went to the Council of Ministers and was able to prove what is going wrong. A couple of weeks fishing fee was canceled. Now the situation repeats itself.
