The key directions are the increase in street activity and the expansion of the strike.
Protest
We go out to local promotions anywhere in cities and towns at any time. We hammer power from all sides.
We agree on protests in the chat rooms of our houses, neighborhoods, and districts. We are partisans, and we act like partisans: quickly, clearly, in an organized manner.
In the evening, we gather in the central squares, talk, dance, sing, discuss the news.
Minsk - Independence Square, 19.00. The time and place of the meeting are constant and unchanging!
Strike
We are creating strike committees at every factory, in every organization. We select the most authoritative comrades and entrust them with organizing the strike. How to organize? It is very simple - stop working, stop machines and production facilities.
We do not allow ourselves to be chatted up. We do not allow ourselves to be deceived. We are not fooled by suggestions "not to escalate the situation," "be patient," "cool down."
We have very clear, understandable, measurable requirements, and no compromise is allowed before they are met!
