36-year-old Jelena has been a parasite. After years of working in the bank filed pronunciation, because a year ago was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. – I never thought that this disease also affects these young people like me. Because of the stress in the job I felt worse and worse and I had to constantly take sick leave. In the end, after consultation with the family decided to go – tells the newspaper “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.
Now Jelena must contend not only with the disease, but also with the need to pay Tax idleness , which came into force in Belarus since April. This is 3.6 million rubles a year (917 zł). By decree of President Alexander Lukashenko have him pay all people of working age who have not worked at least 183 days a year. In this way, the authorities explain how, intend to strike a blow parasitism. – you have the right to ask such people: at whose expense you live? Such people should work, pay taxes and live on your – indignant Lukashenko. These freeloaders, namely unemployment in Belarus is 0.5 million. Belarusian idea quickly picked up in Moscow.
Stags will be very difficult to leave the ranks of freeloaders. It would help her in this adjudicated disability, but the disease is in its infancy and so far the doctors did not want to spend an appropriate decision. – T chairs attitude towards citizens humbles me. I worked from the age of 22, sometimes 15 hours a day. Due to the high earnings during his career, I paid my taxes four times higher than the statistical Belarusian worker – woman laments. If you do not pay the tax, threatens to fines and even jail. And mandatory community service.
The Soviet subbotnik
A new idea Belarusian authorities has provoked outrage Helsinki Committee, which assesses that the fight against the authorities of the parasites is unconstitutional. Because the constitution prohibits forced labor, and grants the right to voluntary unemployment. The withdrawal of the decree also appealed to Lukashenko International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the Human Rights Center “Spring”.
But Minsk for nothing has similar appeals, because for years it applies to citizens of various forms forced labor. Still popular is a relic from the Soviet era – subbotnik, which organized Saturday classes to the public.
– People clean up the streets, wash windows in public buildings, paint the fence. Officially, the work is voluntary. In practice, the absence is punished – says in an interview with the DGP Olga, a 20-year-old student from Minsk. – My mom has a leading position in the state enterprise and every year gets top order to organize subbotnik. If you are not able to collect workers, no one in her plant would not get a bonus – adds.
The authorities indeed pay for this social act, but the money goes to the special account social funds. To subbotników are also forced students. – Together with teachers clean up the school and the land around them, wash floors, weed flowerbeds – lists Olga.
Popular is also the old Soviet habit of sending employees to assistance in the country. Organization of such expeditions up of local authorities, which seek collective farms, when the harvest season or excavations labor shortages.
– I hated it. The bus took us about six in the morning, zawoził the village and there we had to help farmers reap – says in an interview with the DGP student from Minsk Tatiana times. – Anyone who has lived in the dorm, was required to work out 60 hours per year to the state. In another case, the university could not give him a diploma – adds. To help rural areas are also sent to soldiers and militiamen . Although the latter became two years ago heroes scandal: by the way of work on a collective farm they had stolen from him, including 500 liters of fuel to them and then sell it to the left.
Help with the harvest is not the only bane of students. The real curse is another Soviet relic – compulsion to overwork after graduation two years in a place designated by the state. Young people are directed in areas where labor shortages.
– Law shall be subject to anyone who has studied free of charge. My friend graduated from the university in Minsk, and after graduation he was sent to the countryside close to the town deep in the north of the country. The bus into town twice a week, grocers, kolkhoz and only 150 inhabitants. For this house without heat, running water and sewage – describes the place of work of his colleague Olga. – With the winter began a nightmare: the window minus five, in the house cold water on the outside. Collaborators in the collective farm of the cup not shunned, so it’s no surprise that soon he began to drink. He did not last. He teamed up with the director of a collective farm and ran away – adds. The university, however, quickly realized that it is not in a designated area.
Finally the man went to Moscow to where you earn and pay 3 thousand. dollars. debt. – In another case, have been sued by the university – sums up Olga.
Avoid this obligation goes only to a few. Companies are prohibited from hiring graduates, if you do not have the certificate of the so-called. free diploma. A piece of paper certifies that young professionals do not already obliged to serve a compulsory education.
Odpracuj studies
Order jobs for graduates is criticized by defenders human rights and the students themselves for years. The authorities, however, remain adamant. – educated you, so now it odpracuj. And not a year or two, but 10-15 years – recently argued Lukashenko. According to experts, keeping the Soviet law, the Belarusian authorities are trying, among others, pause escape professionals to Russian or the West.
Him is to serve as another controversial decree signed by Lukashenko in 2012., which prohibits several thousands of industry workers wood – which is a strategic sector of the Belarusian economy – leaving the job. If someone is after all so chooses, must return part of the money earned. The decree also stipulates that the state has the right to force a person to return to a former employer and work for free until the settlement of the debt. Restrictions refer not always effective. – I know of cases where workers, trying to force management to exempt them, came to work drunk at Stolz – reports in an interview with Russian media, the head of the Belarusian Congress of Democratic Trade Unions Alexander Jaroszuk. – When executives to upierało, and so threw papers and leaving to work for Russia – he added.
Using forced labor Belarusian authorities not only fight with migration but also repairing family relationships. This applies primarily of persons addicted to alcohol, and deprived of parental rights. They must work under threat of arrest, to compensate the state the cost of living of their children by social services.
Authorities for nothing to ensure that human rights defenders that alcoholism is not a crime, but the disease. According to Lukashenko methods used against such persons must be more restrictive than in the case of “ordinary people”. – Take a shovel and dig into hands. Do not you dig, you do not eat. These people only understand force – commented applicable law Lukashenko.
The work of the Belarusian authorities in the sphere of the legislature for years has been criticized by international organizations, where their They are trying to assert the rights of victims. Minsk, however, ignores the decisions of institutions such as the UN Human Rights Committee, recognizing them only as “recommendations”. As a result, each year a list of absurd laws in Belarus is growing.
I – which in total do not even surprising – Belarus’s followers. At the end of May with a proposal to introduce a tax on idleness experienced Russian Federal Service for Labour and Employment .
