In Vladikavkaz dispersed an unauthorized rally against the isolation, which was attended by several thousand people. Local residents say they believe neither the authorities nor the danger of coronavirus. The second is directly related to the first, and with their terrible economic situation. Most people simply can’t afford to stay home.
the Majority of inhabitants of North Ossetia who spoke with the correspondent of “MK”, stated that either they themselves or their friends don’t believe in the danger of coronavirus. In particular, there are opinions that the authorities specifically incited the people, including, they pay money to those on the camera called themselves sick. Why do it, no one really can not explain, but in the honesty of the leaders of the Republic believed by many. Even those who recognize the existence of coronavirus, a lot of questions about how necessary self-isolation, how dangerous a disease and so on.
“it is Absurd to believe that there is no virus. A little over a week ago activist Vadim Cheldiev urged people to gather at liberty square to “peaceful Assembly”, to discuss important issues. We are poor people. You know, the rich live well, the poor hard. All closed, as elsewhere, in addition to pharmacies and grocery stores. Vadim had with Peter to arrive. He was detained in St. Petersburg, even more angered the people. Brought to the Republic, kept in the Department. Beat, pick up the phone… – told “MK” the inhabitant of Vladikavkaz Cyrus Apollo, You understand, we in the Republic less than a million people. While self-employed is much more than formally employed people. The people finding themselves in a situation where they have nothing to eat, did not want to believe in coronavirus”
How was the protest in Vladikavkaz, “MK” told the witness Anna Bitte:
– In North Ossetia, half of the enterprises work, and the other half is. Open construction and building work shops, private kindergartens, too… it Turns out that some have work, others have nothing to eat. The authorities all say that we must endure and relieve any handouts, although he Vyacheslav Bitarov not closed its factory “Bavaria”. Of course, the people grew discontent, and now the leader of the protest was arrested. As a result, people went outside.
People took to the street, because I don’t believe the coronavirus, or because of self-isolation has put them on the brink of extinction?
– Coronavirus at the rally were hardly addressed. Most worried about it is the isolation where people are unable to earn. Well, the actions of the authorities that defy logic, lead people to believe that coronavirus does not exist, and officials just want to solve some of his issues.
– a Protest was dispersed and that the political conflict is settled?
– essentially no Bitarov nor anyonehis team did not answer the questions of the people. All the officials speak to the media, but always make it very evasive. Here was the same. Protesters sought the release of the honored artist of North Ossetia Vadim Cheldiev to defend their interests, being among the most savvy of all the opposition, but this did not happen. After the dispersal of the rally, the protesters said that Bitarov “signed his own death warrant,” and so on.
– it was Reported that was collected a group of negotiators from the protesters, they have the trust of the people?
– in General it is difficult to say who came there and was there approved by the band. In the absence of Cheldiev the impression that the leaders of the protest are not the most capable and the most vociferous. If the working group has collected from them, nothing good can be expected.
– How to handle security forces?
– the Police behaved very correctly, no claims to it. The soldiers of Regardie, apparently, obey orders…. First of people surrounded, and then organized a corridor through which everyone could enter the square of Freedom, the rest were beaten with batons. In the end there were about 200 people. How many first do not know, but a lot of people.
