Orsha opposition candidates held a joint agitation picket at the House of Culture of railwaymen. Support activist campaign "Tell the Truth" Constantine came Antashkevich Nyaklyayeu. But mostly orshantsy passed or even avoided picketers.

On the question of whether they want a better life with new candidates, passersby not only meet - just turned away and moved on, almost running. A couple of guys saw that the protesters pose stand with their portraits and biographies, openly declared that they are afraid to stand beside, "to suddenly saw the bosses". Only a few people came up and started talking with picketers, and they said they want change, ready to support the "People's referendum" do not trust the Belarusian television that daily lying - but that the opposition will win the election, do not believe categorically.

Niaklajeu that during the election campaign many around the region, confirmed that the same mood throughout: "I drove in the Vitebsk region for the first time to support Constantine. I am ready to become a confidant to independent candidates. But as for the people - that our people keep silent. And go to the polls, do not want to, on the one hand, because I do not believe in the victory of Democrats. And having a condition of his life unhappy, but just in case criticize aloud fear - that something happens."

The candidate from the BPF Igor Kazmierczak, prisutstvovashy picket, said: "This is the first picket independent candidates. And those who are "the authorities' campaign did not spend. Why would they? They are so confident of victory. When I recorded on the radio as the candidate of the regional council, it turned out that the other three pro-government candidate for the record did not show up at all. And my speech sounded only - because they probably decided that the people they seek no sense. Whom they should agitate if and so all "their"? That kind of attitude."

Passivity and the candidate voters said Nikolai Demidov, representative of the party of the left "Fair World": "In the past there were some disputes on the picket lines, and only now came director of the House of culture of railwaymen, looked, asked whether we are here legally. Said that his institution is some event, and we are out of place here, shook his head and walked away. Some other two ran Mrs. stated that we do not have the right to stand. Why? Because they think so. Well, something the police tracked the car, hiding behind a tree."

A bit more lively conversation turned to the city market, where Nyaklyayeu went along with the activists. Some of the traders knew him and showed others - say, here is the poet that Lukashenko jailed in the presidential election. It was enough to part dealers disappeared into their shutters, keeping away. But there were those who decided to "unburden" and complained that businessmen pressed that rising prices for utilities, that life becomes more expensive, and buyers are fewer and fewer.

However, entrepreneurs have little confidence that the opposition "miss" in the local councils, as there is "already all booked up."
