Viciebsk creator of the trade union of entrepreneurs "Together" Irina Yaskevich told about attempts to find out the attitude of the presidential candidates to the problems of small businesses. Of all the candidates responded to entrepreneurs only Tatiana Karatkevich.
"We have made a number of important issues for us, concerning the further development of entrepreneurship in Belarus. And send them – had not yet candidates, and candidates to participate in the presidential election, our letters they received at the stage of collecting signatures. Responded Anatoly Lebedko and Viktor Tereshchenko, who later were registered as candidates. A registered candidate – only Tatiana Karatkevich. Instead of answers from the candidate Alexander Lukashenko, which were important to us just as the vector potential of activities to the President, we received a letter from the administration. And the letter did not answer our questions, and the message that we have addressed "in the form of improper", "– said Irina Yaskevich.
According to the businesswoman, she sent a letter via e-form on the website www.president.gov.by, but pointed out that this treatment is a candidate Alexander Lukashenko.
"Is there any special rules for the treatment to the candidate for the presidency? Such Belarusian legislation is not spelled out. We wanted to hear the opinion of the candidate's name – on the prospects and the changes that will come or do not come on his election. And we are simply ignored. Or, Lukashenko did not get our letter? "– Says the businesswoman.
Irina Yaskevich stresses that were not announced in Viciebsk a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko voters, so the only way to contact them directly – this correspondence. However, e-mail, addressed to him, did not reach the destination.
Unable to make contact with another candidate – Mykola Ulakhovich. About him little known to ordinary citizens of Belarus, and entrepreneurs just do not find on the Internet is no contact for correspondence.
"Our associates from Minsk three days went to the office of Mr. Ulakhovich, but there all the time it was closed. Also, twice we turned to the initiative group Sergey Haidukevich. With him, too, by the contact was not possible, although the initiative group was assured that our questions will be answered. However, there is no answer and is still ", – says Irina Yaskevich.
Entrepreneurs formulated the 9 questions, the solution of which, in their opinion, will determine the fate of small businesses as such. They wanted to know whether potential presidents are willing to support changes in the law, taking into account suggestions SP, will register the union supported the initiative of entrepreneurs, will take into account the opinion of entrepreneurs in the appointment of specialized ministers and other officials, and so on. What answer could only be obtained by Tatiana Karatkevich suggests that the presidential candidates a little concerned about the problems of entrepreneurs. Either some of the candidates absolutely do not believe that they can get to the highest public office and to determine the direction of economic development.
