Viciebsk activist of the party UCP Irina Yaskevich is a candidate for the Viciebsk Oktyabrsky district №20. In response to the expressed desire to arrange information pickets, she heard: "All sites already painted and occupied until September 10 Make an yourself with your competitors." However, not negotiate with anyone: pickets at designated locations no one holds.
On the territory of the Oktyabrsky constituency just three streets platform for campaigning pickets: in the park by the river and two Vićba yard area – near the house #63-1 on the street Praŭdy and near the house #7 by Łazo street.
"In the department of the Oktyabrsky district administration ideology, I was told that pickets schedule already exists, and it is this: every day all the sites occupied by campaigning for the incumbent deputy Alexander Tsetsocho, KPB member Vladimir Yakovlev and a representative of the LDP Dmitry Ezafatov. Free only have time to 15:00 to 16:00, and then not everywhere and not every day. I immediately made an attempt to drive up to the picket on the street of Truth, to negotiate with competitors or their representatives and get a picket near. But there none found. Residents of nearby houses said that there were no pickets are not seen even once, "– said Irina Yaskevich.
The only possible tactic for the candidate think – do pickets during free hours, and then to look at the circumstances: if the opponents do not appear, go on, and if the opposing team will then still try to negotiate and "to divide the territory".
Irina Yaskevich notes that the place for pickets "ordered", but not used, whereas some competitors hold each agitation, sometimes illegally:
"I appealed to the district election commission with a complaint that the current deputy Alexander Tsetsocho held a meeting with voters in the Philharmonic. Not only that, during working hours, so even this place is not included in the list defined for the meetings. But the commission in response to the complaint I was told that Mr. Tsetsocho met with voters as a candidate, and as the acting deputy, and everything – All-Belarusian Assembly delegate. "
According to Irina Yaskevich, this contradicts the thesis about the equal rights of all candidates to declare in the electoral law.
