Tell the Truth! leader, Tatiana Karatkevich met with Labour and Social Protection Minister Marianna Shchetkina. Earlier, former presidential candidate Karatkevich together with her colleague Andrei Dmitriev met with the Housing Minister, Deputy Ministers of Health, Labour and Social Security, and Education, as well as with parliamentary committees’ chairs.

Presumably, a dialogue between the authorities and the opposition on social and economic issues without harsh rhetoric may prompt the authorities to become more open to alternative solutions.
