A member of the Vitebsk city organization of the CCP BPF applied for the march and rally on November 7. "According to the decision of the city executive committee, we must also make agreements with the various services on service activities. But this has proved impossible," - Jan Dzyarzhautsau said.

The decision of the Vitebsk City governing mass actions, states that contracts with physicians about the presence at the event doctors of "first aid", with the police - to protect the rule of law in the event, and now housing - that after the action has been removed.

The conflict with the last service and told Jan Dzyarzhautsau: "I received a reply signed by the Deputy Director General of Urban Housing Enterprise Ilinets. Like, we have no reason to enter into a contract with you, because cleaning the area where the planned march and rally, we are engaged in hired other enterprise - "Gordormost" and "Zelenhoz." However, in addressing City Council indicate a specific structure - the utility companies. executive committee and implement the decision is almost impossible. "

Representatives of various political parties and movements Vitebsk have encountered such a problem. Stated in the decision of the city authorities procedure for applying for public events really is not possible, because the contract is not necessary to conclude with the listed entities there, and more with others. Therefore, attempts have been calls to City Council with a proposal to change the long-standing solution to the current situation, respectively. Fruits to no avail: the city executive committee wrote that the decision made in the register of public acts and not be changed.

Jan Dzyarzhautsau believes that can only sue the City Council for its decision that the authorities restrict the rights of citizens to express their own political position: "For the last three years in Vitebsk will not allow any political action. And will not allow, because it turns out that have a legitimate reason. wording of how to apply for public events leaves us no chance. changes its executive committee does not want. So, we submit it to the court. "
