Entrepreneurs protest in Salihorsk

A strike of Salihorsk entrepreneurs from “October” market is appointed for February 10. They protest against the increase of the rent. The rent in “October” market has increased from 5.5 euro for 1 square metre to 7 euro. Sellers have been trying to restore justice since the beginning of the year. The leader of the initiative group Tatstsyana Kuchynskaya has informed Radio Liberty that the whole market had been built by entrepreneurs while the authorities only paved it with asphalt.

Representatives of the regional administration, leaders of the entrepreneurs’ movement and independent trade unions have left for Salihorsk to settle the conflict.
