Open statement “For free democratic worker Belarus!” to our Belarusian brothers and sisters of workers’ struggle from All-Ukrainian trade union ‘Labour Defence’.
Dear brothers and sisters in Belarus, We are fascinated by your force and bravery in the struggle against the autocratic government. It is obvious, that conservative-oligarchic regime was afraid, first of all, the resolute and organized protest of the Belorussian working class and its independent trade unions. Just your strike and the working class protest in general allowed not only to stop open police brutality against Belarusian people, but also to resolutely raise an issue regarding the cancelation of the result of presidential elected, falsified by the regime. We decisively support your present general democratic demands for resolute changes in Belarussian society, prosecution of those who fabricated the results of the election, and those of special police units, who extremely over-used their power. It’s very important to remember the bitter experience of Ukraine, when just and fair uprising against Yanukovich regime in 2014 was used by openly anti-worker and anti-union forces. Just these forces are presently conducting the violent attacks against democratic rights of workers and trade union activists, increasing the retirement age and conducting the course of anti-people neoliberal reforms. Unfortunately, working class and trade union activists in 2014 couldn’t become an efficient and significant factor of the democratic revolution in Ukraine. They were poorly organized and not enough prepared. This fact is being used by conservative ‘protectors’ of the autocratic regime, who try to convince workers to not support the struggle for democratic transformation in Belorussia, stop the strike and de-facto support autocratic-capitalistic Lukashenko regime.... https://zahist.wordpress.com/2020/08/18/open-statement-for-free-democratic-worker-belarus/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
