Belarusian entrepreneurs sent a letter to PACE rapporteur on Belarus Andrea Rigoni, inviting him to take part in the protest action on 18 February.

Alyaksandr Makaeu, active chairman of the Coordinative Council of Entrepreneurs, suggested Andrea Rigoni to contribute to peaceful holding of the protest action.

According to Alyaksandr Makaeu, presence of a European politician on the protest action of Belarusian entrepreneurs won’t allow the Belarusian authorities to hinder the holding of the demonstration, Telegraf reports referring to the press service of Alyaksandr Milinkevich. The representative of Belarusian entrepreneurs presents to rapporteur on Belarus his viewing of the president’s decree 760 in the letter to Andrea Rigoni.

According to Alyaksandr Makaeu, the Belarusian authorities discriminate small business by allowing individual entrepreneurs to employ not more than 3 people from only closed relatives.
