Notes

Ainars Says: I don't have the plans to return to the Saeima. It is only at the top of the government.


In this regard, Latvijas Avize published a large, more than two-page newspaper article with Ainars Slesers. Dainis Lemmeshenoks (journalist) and Voldemars Krestins (journalist) were among the journalists who called him Slesers. Here are the answers to a few of them.

Changes in personnel at the Duma

A QUESTION. Айнарс Шлесерс There are many politicians that can be replaced by other politicians.

ASK. Due to the economic crisis, we cannot replace people. Instead, we must implement structural reforms. We came to an agreement to reduce the amount of six executive directors within the city to three, and thus eliminate a large number of those who worked for them. Self-managements are the second change. There are currently fifteen such self-managements within the capital. They must be merged to form one. Our work will be in competition with private housekeeping companies which is why they need to become more effective. It is possible to reduce maintenance costs , so that the residents pay less.

Business plans and business ideas

Riga residents still have concerns regarding the possibility of introducing a tax on living spaces. Айнарс Шлесерс Айнарс Шлесерс How do you, the head of the city, feel about this initiative by the government?

A RESOLVEMENT If people are in a crisis and aren't able to pay they can introduce another tax... We Seimas will not support it. But the main question is how to source funds in times of financial crisis. It's not a good decision to invest in areas that are experiencing economic hardship. Instead, you should invest in areas that can be profitable.

Mr. Shlesers has referred to transportation as the "profitable" item, given that Latvia is a transit nation. The port of Riga can handle the transshipment of cargo from Belarus and Russia, as in the past, before the war with the Russian Federation, this was carried out through the port of Klaipeda. The port of Riga is in the process of being developed, by building on Kundzinsala, Krievu Island and other territories. Many people have difficulty understanding this plan. accept. The Riga International Airport's work that transforms Riga into an area in which international business and cultural meetings can take place, is another profitable area. To achieve this, you have to get things in order in the center of the capital, so that guests are not robbed in restaurants, taxis and other taxis. Also, there should be enough toilets that are accessible to the people of the city. According to Mr. Slesers there is a need to host more pop music events. This will enable, for example, Madonna to be heard in Tallinn and Riga. https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_user.php?userid=3020055 The vice-mayor stated that "we" are looking to draw "not expensive, but wealthy tourists", but this requires an excellent tourism product. Take lessons from London, Switzerland, and the USA. Foreigners who invest at minimum one million dollars in production or real estate in the local area receive an "greencard" that permits permanent residence in the country. Айнарс Шлесерс It isn't citizenship. ).

All these "huge ambitions" are not brand new. They were outlined by the late Mr. Shlesers in the course of the campaign for election. Implementation of these plans is an issue that journalists are currently keen to cover, even though it is too early to share specific outcomes. Therefore, it is likely that a large portion of interview questions were focused on the issues of relations between legislative and economic authorities as well as vice-mayor's ideology.

Concerning the issue of "stinking" policy

ASK QUESTION: Let's get back to our "stinking" policy. Recent discussions about the Saeima elections were made more difficult by the claims of Mr. Slesers claimed - his party will be fighting in the parliament in tandem to the "Consent Center", and to Ms. Aboltini the New Times head, who stated that all Latvian political parties must unite against the Shlesers bloc.

Answer : We were supported by 50 percent of Riga voters. LPP / LP doesn't belong to Russia, however it is a Latvian Party. There are a lot of Russian people who are members of the party because we don't categorize people based on nationality. The second session began with Dievs, sveti Latviju (and all the deputy members who speak Russian) singing. It is however likely that no one will establish any kind of Soviet-style government within the Duma. There is no one who speaks Russian from the Duma's rostrum. LPP / LP is the state language. "Consent Center" has not spoken about working in the Russian Duma.

Additionally to that, in large part because of the efforts of the LPP / LP, the possibility that we were able to bring together Russian speakers around us, we took down ZaPcHeL.

Power and the subject of power

Question - Will Shlesers or Ushakov be leading their respective parties during Seim elections?

ANSWER I am not planning on returning to the Sejm. There is a possibility that the party may nominate me to the ministerial presidency which would alter my plan for Riga.

Today, there are two groups within the Duma: one from LPP/LP, TsS and the other from New Time, and the Civil Union. Similar blocs could be formed by the elections for the 10th Diet. We are approaching America
