September 21 Tatiana Karatkevich once again arrived in Viciebsk. She first visited propaganda picket exhibition in support of the Boulevard near the secondary school №46, in the district Bilev. Passers-by were few, and so the main meeting with voters was held in the auditorium of the school №31.

Mrs. Karatkevich arrived with their proxies: Sergei Chaly, economist, leading the program "Economy on the fingers", Igor Lyalkov, Tatyana Nikolayevna representative in the CEC, and military analyst Leonid Spatkaj.

The first took the floor Igor Lyalkov. He said that from a snuffbox suddenly jumped this unknown until recently a lady. Some time Karatkevich Tatiana worked in the campaign "Tell the Truth" and then headed the initiative "People's referendum", which is focused around a team of associates. The idea of ??the initiative was to bring together people around solving probleMrs.of concern to society. Then the search began for a new person without negative past, about which it is difficult to say that it was involved in some of the old lesions of the democratic forces, or any fraud. This better person, which were associated to peaceful change, and became Tatiana Karatkevich.

Speech by Sergei Chaly was longer and more informative. It was found that those high rates of economic growth that we had so far, are entirely attributable to external special effects made possible by artificially inflating revenues.

And he expressed this thought that if three consecutive crisis occur regularly all the time, then they probably are an integral part of the economic model that we have, and not the result of some external factors such as government convince us. Behind all this lies a structural problem, only our problem.

Consistently since 2006, long-term economic growth rate fell steadily, and currently make up nearly 1-1.5 percent per year. It is a state economist, compared with the state of a patient who repeatedly refuses treatment, despite the deterioration of their feelings. It saves each time resuscitation, but the disease does not go away.

And most importantly: modernization, which has been said so many words, failed, as none of the aiMrs.of the modernization of this has not been achieved. First of all, it is an approximation of labor productivity to the European average – 60 thousand euros per person per year. Moreover, the financial condition of those companies which have been upgraded, did not improve, but rather deteriorated since their profitability is now only two per cent per year. In addition, each of the companies hangs currency loan of 140 million euros with an interest rate of 7% per annum. This means that the company is not able to pay off their own loans for its modernization, and thus take the money out of our pockets to you.

At this time, sit the current crisis, as called for by the authorities, can not be, because the oil at one hundred dollars per barrel in the next ten years will be gone.

It is now clear to all that is happening. It is clear that if you do not do anything, we are waiting for a way to further dive into absolutely hopeless quagmire. The current economic moment is quite specific: all economists realize there is a program of necessary economic reforMrs. which will support the International Monetary Fund, but there is no political will, that is the decision of one person at the top.

In his keynote speech, Tatiana Karatkevich told about the way their social and political maturation, and then focus on the pressing issues of life. She noted that people, unfortunately, do not understand how their quality of life affected by the policy. And so they ceased to hope for power and began to rely only on theMrs.lves. Continuing the main message of the previous speaker, she said that unlike the current government, it has the political will to implement the economic reforMrs.that are long overdue in the country.

Identifies five main areas of urgent changes: the economy, education, medicine, social protection, public administration reform, foreign policy.

If the government will hold an inefficient economy and politics, even those businesses that are still afloat, and cease to exist.

With regard to social protection, stopping reckless spending of funds for "zombie companies", we will find the money for social protection laid off since the salary that workers receive, is essentially a social assistance to the unemployed. If in December were closed underperforming businesses, we have saved money, and during this time people would be retrained on the dates of the profession and would receive from the state is necessary for the life of social assistance. And some have been able to open his own business. To date, only 24% of taxes in the budget comes from the private sector, it would be 70-80%. This is the plight of the workers also ensured the existence of pro-government trade union, which does not protect workers' rights.

The state should support more educational institutions, and medicine. At present, the formation broke away from the labor market: students who come to the company, it is necessary to learn anew, and it is a huge problem. First of all it is necessary to support professionals. Because of the Bologna process, we need to bring their education to the European and world.

The basic principle of international politics – is the principle of balanced international relations with its neighbors. That is, we want to develop in proportion to the benefit relations with Russia and with Ukraine, and with the European Union, to be more open to international relations. The neutral military status in Belarus, which we support, is to create an attractive image to attract investment and help to find new partners in all areas of international relations.

All that we are going to do in the future, we are going to do together with a team of like-minded people, taking into account public opinion and in strict accordance with the law.

After the speech of the presidential candidate Karatkevich and its trustees to ask questions to the candidate for the presidency and to express their vision of the situation in the country were present at the meeting of the citizens. Much enthusiasm and genuine concern for the fate of the country stood Viciebsk retirees. Many questions were asked with a detailed introductory remarks that irritated the audience. So, Mrs. Tatiana and her team advised to encourage citizens not to go to the polls, because the existence of the pre-vote gives the government ample opportunity for fraud and does not leave her any chance of winning. The same citizen indignant over the fact that Karatkevich benefit of the Belarusian language, and Viciebsk, say, a Russian city.

Presidential candidate said that he knew about the fraud in early voting stage, but you can not win the election, if you do not participate in them. Supporting people – is the only way you and I talk to each other, to find like-minded people and move forward. And this opportunity today it employs.

One of the most pressing was the question about the fact that dictators do not go away on its own initiative.

To this Mrs. Karatkevich he said he did not want to sit on the bench loser that she and the young man now fights for his future, because he believes in his abilities, our potential, our common sense and fairness. There are many people who are serious about this election, and it – with them. A dictatorial regime have very specific: it simulates and dictatorship and democracy – he mixed mode. The only thing that can change it – is an active social position. It is necessary to participate in all elections and initiatives to this atmosphere, tsyaryaschaya during the elections and after the elections prevailed. She said that today deals with a large number of officials, journalists and pro-government wants to be able to communicate with them after the elections to the possibility of dialogue continued in the future. The main strategy of the team Karatkevich: "It is important – not who, but it is important – that together we can do for our country's future."

Someone Anatoly Borodulin suggested the victory of transfer clocks forward one hour, as a result of the abolition of the winter time Belarusians do not fill up the whole hour, so we could not get much. Candidate expressed support for the initiative, saying that the Belarusians to live in real time.

The second question concerns the construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant, which raises many questions. That comes a lot of reports of violations of, existing there, Mrs. Tatiana knows. Construction of the station could be and stop, but we need a public discussion and analysis experts. It is necessary to conduct an audit and to determine how it is constructed. Already there are two probleMrs. Firstly, on the construction of the station, we did not earn and new debt. And, secondly, as we do not have electricity, so we can not sell it. Especially because we are not business entities, the owners – the Russians.

Young voters were more concerned with pragmatic issues: the increase in alcoholism among young people, of domestic territories, family issues. A young father of many children expressed their sympathy for the direct the country's first female candidate, the woman he called "real alternative" and "a ray of light in this dark kingdom", for which he received in his address friendly applause of those present at a meeting of the citizens.

Tatiana expressed Karatkevich and for the abolition of the death penalty and for the withdrawal of foreign military forces from the territory of Belarus for its neutral status, as well as for the election of local authorities, which in this case would be accountable to the citizens it approves.

Do not be indifferent to present and discuss military matters.

Military expert Leonid Spatkay said that state sovereignty is provided not by the number of armed forces, and international law. The presence of foreign military bases only raises the level of threat, but it is not a deterrent. The only way out – the country's neutral status.

In general, the conversation was informal, lively and quite emotional.
