A farmer from the Homel region exposes the agrarian policy of the authorities.

There has never been such a "candidate": Yury Gatsevich is running for "elections" to the "House of Representatives" in Homel Zheleznadarozhny District and comes to the picket on a tractor, as Belsat reports.

The farmer says he decided to go into politics because of the injustice of the state.

"Lukashenka says on TV everywhere: develop agriculture, develop farm estates. He issues decrees for this, but they don't work. That is, they fool us with these decrees," - Gatsevich says.

Among the proposals of the potential "candidate" is the improvement of the legislation, which would make it easier for small businesses to exist, first of all - those working on the land.

"If you buy a cow , you have nowhere to graze it. They took all the land and gave it to the collective farms," - the farmer said.

Yuri Gatsevich from the village of Pakaliubichy became known after a video clip appeared in the network: a farmer emotionally tells a traffic police officer that he has registered nine vehicles, and for each of them - you have to pay a huge toll.

More than 250 thousand people watched this video on YouTube channel. Most of the commentators were supported by Yury, who disagreed with this toll payment system. Some came to support the farmer today.

Here's what Homel residents said in the commentary to Belsat:

"From the video we learned about his position. A civil one. The right one, I think.

"A man works honestly. So, we should vote for him, support him.

"If the "candidate" is independent and does not orient himself towards the authorities, why not?

"Elections" have long been completed in Lukashenka's administration. Only the "voting" that nobody needs is left."
