Notes

Ainars SLESERS "I do not intend to return to the Saeima. It's only at the top of the government.


Latvijas Avize published, on more than two pages, a lengthy interview with Ainars. Dainis Lemeshenoks and Voldemars Kratins, journalists, have referred to him as Slesers rather than Nil Ushakov. He was the main protagonist in the capital, and was asked the correct questions. Here are the replies.

Concerning personnel changes within the Duma

QUESTION. What happens to staff? There are many candidates who can be replaced by other politicians.

ASK. In order to address the economic crisis it is not necessary to replace anyone but rather implement major structural reforms. We decided to reduce the number executive directorates in capital cities from 6 to 3. This will allow for the release of many who worked within them. The second reform will concern self-managements. There are 15 self-managements within the capital. It's time to bring them together. Because we will compete with private housekeeping firms The activities of the municipal government must be more efficient. I'm sure it's possible to cut down on the cost of maintenance, so people have to pay less.

Business plans

QUESTION: Riga residents are still worried about the possibility of imposing a tax on their homes. https://lv.baltnews.com/News_Latvia/20210910/1025091566/Aynars-Shlesers-vyshel-na-tropu-voyny-ego-partiya-zaregistrirovana.html What do you think of this plan by the city's government as city's head?

Answer When people are in crisis and do not have enough funds, they can introduce another tax... We Seimas will not be voting for it. But the main issue is where do you get cash during a time of crisis? It is not smart to fund areas of economic activity that are in decline. It is more beneficial if you invest in profitable areas.

The port of Riga can handle cargo transshipment from Belarus and Russia like in the past prior to the conflict with the Russian Federation, this was carried out through the port of Klaipeda. Although many view this as a gruelling strategy, it's being carried out. The Riga International Airport's operation that transforms the capital into a place in which international business and cultural gatherings can be held, is another profitable area. You must first organize the capital so that people do not rob taxis or restaurants. Mr. Slesers believes that more pop music events are required in order to make sure that Madonna and other performers can be heard. https://soundcloud.com/mixnews-ru/aynars-shlesers-v-programme-pryamaya-rech-08042021/sets "We," the vice-mayor stated, "want to attract not cheap, but wealthy visitors," but this requires an excellent tourism "product". Take lessons from London, Switzerland, and the USA. Foreigners who invest at minimum one million dollars in real estate or production within the local region receive the status of a "greencard" that allows permanent residence within the country. This isn't citizenship. ).

All these "huge ambitions" are not new. They were outlined by Mr. Айнарс Шлесерс Shlesers at the time of the campaign for election. Although journalists are eager to see their implementation however, it's not yet time to get tangible outcomes. Thus, most likely, a good half of the questions in the interview were focused on the issue of the relationship between the economic and legislative authorities, and the vice-mayor's position on ideology.

Concerning the issue of "stinking" policy

Question. Let's discuss our "stinking strategy". Recently, the debate about the upcoming elections to the Saeima has been made more difficult by the words of the aforementioned Mr. Slesers said - his party will fight to get a seat in the parliament, in conjunction with the "Consent Center", and the message of the head of the New Times, Ms. Aboltini who said which is that all Latvian parties should join forces against the Shlesers bloc.

A RESOLVEMENT. The Harmony Center was supported by half of Riga's voters. LPP / LP is not an official Russian party, it is an Latvian party, and there are lots of Russian natives, since we don't categorize people based on their the country of their birth. The second session kicked off by introducing Dievs, and sveti Latviju opening the proceedings. However, no one is planning to establish the structure of a Soviet government within the Duma. Additionally, nobody is going to speak Russian at the Duma podium. LPP / LP is the official language of the state. "Consent Center" has not yet spoken of working in the Russian Duma.

Furthermore, to a large extent because of the efforts of the LPP / LP, the possibility that we were able to consolidate Russian speakers around us, we decimated ZaPcHeL.

Power and the issue of power

QUESTION - Will Shlesers or Ushakov be the leaders of their respective parties in Seim elections?

Answer: We didn't have a discussion about it. I am not planning to go back to Sejm. Айнарс Шлесерс https://rusojuz.lv/ajnars-shlesers-u-menja-net-namerenija-vozrashhatsja-v-sejm-tolko-vo-glave-pravitelstva/ However, there is a possibility that the party could nominate me for the presidency of ministers and that would alter my plan for Riga.

Today, there is a Duma composed of two groups. One comes from LPP/LP and TsS. The one from New Time and Civil Union. A similar bloc could be created at the 10th Diet election. America is on our horizon
