00:00:30at meetings in the Palace of Independence, in August, the
00:00:33legislation was updated, in the Internet space it seems that
00:00:37everything is the opposite, but was everything really like that, let's compare
00:00:40if they really were left with nothing necessary, let's find out in
00:00:44a new episode of our
00:00:45project.
00:00:52Stationary stores in the village, according to the law, are located in those
00:00:55settlements where the population is at least 200 people,
00:00:59in the village of Surovni at the moment there are slightly fewer people, however,
00:01:03residents from nearby villages where
00:01:06a mobile shop operates come to the shop. Telmak does not work on Tuesdays and
00:01:09Thursdays, but it works on weekends. Lyubov came for
00:01:13groceries on Wednesday and noticed that
00:01:16there were no essential goods on the shelves.
00:01:20Are there often queues in the store? Well, there are no big queues, because
00:01:23we don't have that many people, but people constantly come
00:01:27and buy. Everything is in stock. in this.
00:02:00video, and a day later on Friday, on Thursday,
00:02:03it was a day off, on Friday everything was delivered, everything is constantly
00:02:06delivered, everything, everything since then nothing has changed, everything is fine, no,
00:02:09nothing, everything, everything is for the better, now no problems,
00:02:13everything, everything, everything is enough, I bought
00:02:16fish today, pollock, bought potatoes,
00:02:19I want to make mashed potatoes, butter, now I bought
00:02:22sour cream, cottage cheese, in general, there is dairy, there is dairy, all of it,
00:02:26now there are no problems with anything, that is, everything is there.
00:02:30Well, I'm not saying I'm a star, but people came today,
00:02:33bought tomatoes, want to make salad, bought peppers, everything
00:02:36that is there, they buy and do what they say,
00:02:40they saw you on social networks, they saw, they thank,
00:02:43that everything has changed, that everything
00:02:44is good,
00:02:48such a problem, as it turned out, had been going on for several years, people repeatedly
00:02:52appealed to state bodies with a request to resolve the issue,
00:02:56they were indeed heard, the fact is that
00:02:59the rural store, Urovnyak, belonged to Beshenkovichi Raipo, which at
00:03:02that time had financial difficulties and as a result
00:03:06the organization was liquidated, the owners of
00:03:09Silmage were changed, they began preparations, defrosted
00:03:12refrigerators, but they did not have time to inform
00:03:16people about it. I know that you only recently took, so
00:03:19to speak, the reins of power in this Silmage, I
00:03:23know that there was such a difficult transitional period, that this
00:03:26caused a public outcry on TikTok, which thousands of people saw.
00:04:00for necessary consumption, yes, that is, there was a demand for
00:04:04chicken, literally, if we remember, there was toilet
00:04:07paper, everything, all of this is available, how is this delivery
00:04:11of goods generally organized? Well, today there are necessary,
00:04:14necessary goods, that is, there is toilet paper,
00:04:17there are several types of chicken cuts, sausage
00:04:21products, bakery products are delivered
00:04:24daily, and pasta, flour, that is,
00:04:28the entire consumer set is available. In addition, a borscht set
00:04:31is available in the store, vegetables, fruits, everything is there
00:04:35so that you can just buy what you need, but
00:04:39at the same time, we certainly understand that in this settlement, no
00:04:42more than 130 people live here,
00:04:46and we can certainly assume that the store is not entirely
00:04:49profitable, as we would like, but it is still too early to talk about the financial
00:04:53result, because we have only just started this activity, but I can
00:04:57say that during the
00:05:00operating time, revenue has increased by almost one and a half
00:05:03times,
00:05:10when exactly was that TikTok recorded?
00:05:17What was there in general according to the situation, if we compare expectations, reality, how, well,
00:05:21actually what she shot in the video
00:05:24Alexandra, that's what was in the store,
00:05:27Peshenkovichi had difficulties, so
00:05:31naturally the assortment left
00:05:33much to be desired, that's a fact, that's a fact, so
00:05:37thank you that it has changed so much now, we have now
00:05:40gone, I know, under the regional... there was a procurement office, well,
00:05:43radically, thanks are coming in for the mobile shops now,
00:05:47I know they've already called the district executive committee,
00:05:50they called for an appointment, expressed gratitude
00:05:53for the assortment that is now available,
00:05:56and residents, here in Volotovka, I was there yesterday, residents said that
00:06:00it's incomparable, it's heaven, heaven and
00:06:03earth, yes, the chairman of the village council knows every family in
00:06:07the district, in winter she herself got behind the wheel and took products to those who could not
00:06:11get to the store. or to whom the mobile shop did not reach due to frosts,
00:06:15she perfectly understands that Selmak performs not only an economic function,
00:06:18but also a social one, it is considered a gathering point where there is not only fresh
00:06:22bread, but also fresh news, and we want them to be
00:06:26exclusively good, what problems were there, what was missing,
00:06:29well, there was nothing at all, such especially
00:06:32such empty refrigerators,
00:06:36this has been going on for a long time,
00:06:40well, not so long ago, at first... when it was joined to
00:06:43Beshenkovichi Raipo it was also good, and then
00:06:47something got worse and worse every day, well,
00:06:51and now it's back, relatives bring it, if you
00:06:54ask, but it's better when you look at the
00:06:57assortment yourself you'll take
00:07:01it yourself with your own hands, we have a mobile shop
00:07:04that runs, I can tell you that, and you're from another village, right, but you
00:07:08still come to this store, well, what else are you going to eat or what.
00:07:42Well, there was nothing, nothing, not even toilet paper,
00:07:46yes, yes, now, well, after as you probably know, your
00:07:49friend Alexandra
00:07:53recorded it, she called, everything
00:07:56is fine, by the way, regarding private traders, according to the law, anyone
00:08:00can open a retail outlet in any settlement,
00:08:03there are no prohibitions on this, but working in villages with up to 200
00:08:06people is unprofitable, provided that the assortment and
00:08:10price requirements are met, which is why the main burden is borne by state
00:08:14consumer cooperatives, which are under constant control
00:08:17of the district leadership. The chairman of the District Council of Deputies on the same
00:08:21day the video was released, together with the
00:08:23commission, went to Suravni. Ruslan Olegovich, I know that
00:08:27you quickly went to the site when this TikTok was published
00:08:30right away on August 26,
00:08:33what was comparable, was,
00:08:36became, or expectation, reality, was there a significant
00:08:40discrepancy? There was a discrepancy, of course,
00:08:43but no significant one, as we can
00:08:46see when watching the video, there
00:08:49was dairy products, there was no toilet paper, but there were
00:08:52napkins, there were hygienic napkins, that is, these
00:08:56industrial goods were available, let's say, that
00:08:59delivery according to the seller's applications is carried out mainly
00:09:02on Thursdays, therefore it was expected
00:09:06that food products and industrial goods should be
00:09:10delivered in the near future.
00:10:19And toilet paper, and bread, everything that the consumer
00:10:23needs. And this is a fundamental point. Besides the store, there is also a post office in the village. where there are always essential
00:10:26products, dairy products, tea, coffee, meat, poultry,
00:10:30fish, sugar, you can even order a specific
00:10:33product, we personally verified this, how
00:10:37often do they bring all this to you, as often as we order, they bring it, there are no
00:10:40problems with products at the post office, well, of course, vegetables, but
00:10:44you can grow vegetables in the garden, well, I also order vegetables in winter,
00:10:47well, I don't order anything now, what to order, we have a procurement
00:10:50working now, well, it's the season now, yes, what to do, it's the season
00:10:54and... in our village, and that's the thing,
00:10:57vegetables, I also order in winter, and apples, and
00:11:00tomatoes, and everything that, well, everything that is in demand,
00:11:04chicken, all of this is available, is this postal delivery,
00:11:08I understand, how does this process generally happen for you, well, that is, a car comes to you, you
00:11:11form some kind of request in advance, I understand, yes, no, well,
00:11:15yes, I order once a week, probably, or once a month a car comes, well, not once a
00:11:19week, when I order something,
00:11:20they will bring it.
00:11:31What measures are being taken by the management to
00:11:34effectively monitor the quality of products and their availability
00:11:38on store shelves in small settlements, including
00:11:41pricing, that is, so that prices do not bite for citizens who
00:11:45live in rural areas as well, the management directly
00:11:48regularly conducts control
00:11:51measures in various districts,
00:11:56measures are mainly carried out in the form of monitoring,
00:11:59if any violations are found, recommendations are
00:12:03issued to the business entity for prompt elimination
00:12:06of the identified violations, well, in
00:12:09case of similar violations during
00:12:12repeated monitoring, then administrative
00:12:15liability measures may be applied. In any case, all issues are always
00:12:19under the control of not only the main department, but also
00:12:22the district executive committees on a regular basis. The district executive committees exercise this
00:12:26control, including over pricing in facilities, you all
00:12:30know that today there is Resolution 713, which
00:12:33establishes maximum trade markups on a rather
00:12:36large assortment of food
00:12:39products. This story is instructive for both sides.
00:12:43First of all, it is necessary to establish a dialogue between representatives
00:12:46of the authorities and the people. If people knew that the stage of
00:12:50Syulmag was transitional, they would have bought in advance, and
00:12:53there would have been no unpleasant emotions. After all, the President has repeatedly said that
00:12:56order in the village must be monitored, personal responsibility for
00:13:00trade in small settlements lies personally with the chairman of the village
00:13:04council and the heads of retail outlets. But we should not forget
00:13:08that such stores largely continue their work at the expense
00:13:11of state subsidies, precisely so that we,
00:13:15Belarusians, live equally well. And there was a choice in the store
00:13:19in the city and even in the same Shumilino. And
00:13:22there should be an alternative, because there are products... a private
00:13:25retail outlet comes, and it's good that our people are used
00:13:29to the fact that the standard of living in the regions is provided by the state
00:13:32and they want it to be even better. By the way, Lyubov
00:13:36has already thanked everyone involved in the prompt resolution
00:13:40of the issue. On behalf of the residents of the village of Surovni,
00:13:44Shumilino district, I want to express my sincere
00:13:47gratitude to the leadership of Vitebsk Belkoopsoyuz, for
00:13:50the prompt response to the appeal that I
00:13:54published. On August 26, by August 28,
00:13:57we received a full supply of products,
00:14:00thank you for the speed, care for rural residents,
00:14:04this is what our assortment of goods
00:14:07is like now, shelves
00:14:10are overflowing, if only there were more
00:14:14such TikToks, but otherwise, as always, on
00:14:17Monday it will reach Lukashenko,
00:14:20goodbye.
00:14:32On air, understandable politics, waves of social protests are sweeping
00:14:36European countries one after another, while Macron holds on to power with batons,
00:14:39early parliamentary elections have already been scheduled in Spain
00:14:43due to the housing
00:14:45crisis.
00:14:49In the 21st century, it sounds surprising, but many Spaniards simply have nowhere to
00:14:53live, dear.
00:15:55They just demanded my apartment and threw
00:15:58me out like a sack
00:15:59of potatoes.
00:16:58Spain massively took to the streets in the fall, and the last straw was
00:17:01the story of Maricarmen Bascal. In
00:17:04Spain, the image that embodied popular anger was
00:17:07the 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal. On
00:17:10September 23, a woman in a wheelchair
00:17:14was carried out on a stretcher from her apartment in the prestigious
00:17:17Madrid district of Retiro, where she had lived for 70 years.
00:17:21The apartment building recently changed hands to a new investment
00:17:25company, which raised the monthly rent by
00:17:28275% at once
00:17:30to 2,650
00:17:34euros. And, of course, such a rent turned out to be
00:17:38unaffordable for the pensioner, for which she was eventually evicted,
00:17:42that's how you live, then suddenly you're out, the new
00:17:45owners are completely indifferent to who is in their square meters, the main thing
00:17:49is profit, hence those very plus
00:17:52275% on monthly rent,
00:17:55capitalism - nothing personal, the eviction
00:17:58of the woman was postponed several times due to her age, disability,
00:18:02lack of alternative housing, but on September
00:18:0623, 2020.
00:18:18Gas against protesting neighbors trying to protect the woman. The video of the battle for Carmen spread across social media. An elderly
00:18:22woman in a wheelchair, police in helmets, tear
00:18:25gas. Three days later, tens of thousands of people took to the streets,
00:18:29a week later, protests swept across
00:18:32Spain. It would seem that any
00:18:35sane person should... display
00:18:38some humanitarian solutions, as, for example, in the case of this eighty-
00:18:42seven-year-old woman, who was obviously not to blame
00:18:45for anything, except that she was a native
00:18:48citizen of Spain, lived and worked all her life in this
00:18:51country, and this situation very clearly
00:18:54demonstrated the real attitude of the Spanish
00:18:57authorities towards their people, and this,
00:19:01of course, caused public dissatisfaction, this situation
00:19:04is a marker of the state of
00:19:07Spanish society now. Maricarmen's rent was returned to its previous
00:19:11level, but the woman was not destined to return home. She
00:19:15died in the hospital. Mass protests
00:19:18took place in at least 50 cities in Spain.
00:19:21The scale ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on
00:19:25whom you listen to. One of the main
00:19:27demands is to stop forced evictions, to prohibit
00:19:31investment funds from massively buying up housing, and to protect
00:19:34people from real estate speculation. According to European tradition.
00:19:47mass protests due to the housing crisis are taking place on Saturday
00:19:51in dozens of Spanish cities, only in Madrid, according to various
00:19:55estimates, from 70 to 500,000 people took to the streets.
00:19:58Trade unions announced preparations for a general strike on November
00:20:0111, Pedro Sanchez's government submitted a package of
00:20:05housing reforms to parliament and failed. The opposition
00:20:08from the right and left voted against, the result:
00:20:11early elections were announced for the spring of 2027.
00:20:15года.
00:20:19There are plenty of typical Spanish stories on the Internet. Here's Samuel, he's been living in Barcelona
00:20:23since 2004, he rented the same apartment for 15 years,
00:20:27received a registered letter, he's being thrown
00:20:30out onto the street.
00:20:34Honestly, I'm in despair right now, they're telling me the contract is ending.
00:20:50I can't find anything at a price I can afford, I consider myself
00:20:53a lucky person, I have a normal salary, and even I might
00:20:57have to leave the city.
