According to Tatsiana
Seviarynets, the coordinator of the campaign team of the pretender for
president Vital Rymasheuski in the Vitsebsk region, she knows at least three
cases when residence of Miory were forced to revoke the signatures they had put
in support of nomination of Mr. Rymasheuski as a presidential candidate.
The member of the campaign team Iryna Valter said that a 90-year-old resident
had asked whether her pension wouldn’t be taken away after she signed for him. Then
this woman wrote an application to revoke her signature.
A total of 595 people signed for Vital Rymasheuski in Miory. Now representatives
of the local authorities come to them with check-ups, telling that ‘Vital
Rymasheuski is a bad candidate, he would take the pensions away, disorganize
the country, etc.’ says Tatsiana Seviarynets.
