Traffic jams in Nyamiha Street and deserted Independence Avenue.
20.20 Artsyom Sharkou, director of the information and educational association “For Auto” has given a live interview to Euroradio. He has assessed the results of the today’s “Stop-Petrol” action.
In Sharkou’s opinion, the action has taken place because closing up roads was not its aim. Its participants tried to show their position and their protest to the authorities. Taking into account the authorities’ efforts directed against the action, one can say that they kept watching the events and know that people are worried about petrol prices, says Sharkou.
