As head of the Minsk city organization Viktar Ivashkevich told udf.by, this year organizers plan to gather people in front of the Academy of Science and then march to Gorky Park, where is a concert and a meeting will be held. Taking into account that March 25 is the first day of a propaganda campaign for the local elections, candidates for deputies in the Minsk city council will meet with demonstrators.
