Andrei Markau: Now Each Of Us Has Chance To Influence The Situation
ANDREI MARKAU

The development of our country is determined not by officials in executive committees, but by common people.

Activist of the European Belarus civil campaign Andrei Markau, who takes part in the "parliamentary campaign" within the Maladzechna constituency No. 72, told the press service of the campaign why it is important to show political activity and what results it can bring to the society:

- My impressions of the signature collection stage are mostly positive. There was a lot of communication with people, lively emotions, information about the current state of life - not in numbers and statistical reports, but directly from people. You could see what people were worried about, what they were facing, what their concerns were, and other things, of course.

Now there is a stage of registration, and, in case I am registered, there will be a legal opportunity to use this month to communicate with people. We will hold pickets, meetings with Maladzechna residents. At the stage of agitation, it will be possible to tell about our program, which is quite thorough and able to change so many aspects in a positive way. This is, obviously, a chance to communicate with people at certain venues, premises, to discuss, to listen to the opinion of the audience, to get some corrective amendments from the population.

I think it's positive that we took part in the "election" campaign. It drew people's attention to what is happening in the country and showed that we should not completely disregard political actions. This is taking place not somewhere in the offices and executive committees.

Political activity has a direct impact on our lives. We need to talk about urgent problems that are a consequence of the political system and politics. It is necessary that people somehow consolidate and show their activity, express their opinion, express their position and achieve some results.

First of all, this campaign is aimed at waking up people, so that they are not limited to a certain number of interests, but pay attention to what is happening outside their apartments and work. There is a possibility to influence, express oneself, one's opinion, and it is necessary not only to use it, but also to implement and apply it in every possible way.
