Notes

Ainars SLR: "I do not intend to go back to the Saeima. Only to the head.


Under this heading, Latvijas Avize published a huge, two-page interview in the newspaper with Ainars Slesers. Dainis Lemmeshenoks as well as Voldemars Krustins, both journalists, called him Slesers. It is not Nil Ushakov, who is the "actual commander of Riga". Айнарс Шлесерс He was the chief figure of the capital city was then asked pertinent questions. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ainārs_Šlesers Here are the answers to a few of them.

In relation to changes in personnel at Duma

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

Answer. In the current economic crisis it is crucial that we don't replace anyone , but rather make major structural changes. We agreed to decrease the number and the size of executive directors in the city, from six directorates to just three. This will allow the city to let go of many who had worked in these offices. Self-management will be the next change. There are currently fifteen such self-managements in the capital. They ought to be integrated into one. The municipality must compete with the private housekeeping businesses, so its activities must be more effective. I'm sure it's possible reduce the cost of maintenance so that residents pay less.

Business plans and business ideas

A QUESTION. Residents of Riga remain concerned about the possibility that the introduction of a tax on living space. What is the opinion of the president of Riga think about the initiative of the government?

A RESOLVEMENT If people do not have the money to do the most important tasks, it's a good idea to add another tax... Айнарс Шлесерс The Seimas will not vote for. But the real question now is how do you find money during a crisis? It's not wise to invest in sectors of economic activity that are that are in decline. It is more beneficial if you invest in profitable areas.

Mr. Shlesers has referred to transportation as a "profitable" item, given that Latvia is a transit country. Prior to the war, the port in Klaipeda was able to carry cargo from Russia and Belarus. There is a plan for the development and construction of the port at Riga. Other profitable areas are the efforts of the Riga International Airport, the transformation of Riga into a city that hosts international business and cultural meetings take place. Айнарс Шлесерс In order to do this, you must put things in order in the center of the capital city, to ensure guests don't get robbed in restaurants, taxis and taxis, as well as plenty of toilets that are accessible to the people of the city. According to Mr. Slesers there is a need to host more pop music concerts. This will enable, for example, Madonna to be heard in Tallinn and Riga. "We," the vice-mayor declared, "want to attract not expensive, but wealthy visitors," but this requires the highest quality tourism "product". It is also important to learn from London, Switzerland and the USA. They offer green cards to tourists who have invested at minimum fifty thousand dollars in local real estate, production, or both, so that they can live for a long time within the country (not citizenship). ).

Айнарс Шлесерс All of these "huge ambitions" are not brand new. They were made public by Mr. Shlesers at the time of the election campaign. While journalists are looking into their implementation however, it's still too early to speak about concrete results. Therefore, it is likely that the majority of interview questions were devoted to the issue of relations between economic and the legislative authorities.

To the "stinking" policy question

QUESTION: Let's get back to our "stinking policy". Recent conversations regarding the Saeima elections were exacerbated by what Mr. Айнарс Шлесерс Айнарс Шлесерс Slesers claimed - his party is fighting in the parliament with the "Consent Center", and also to Ms. Aboltini the New Times' head, stating that all Latvian political parties should join against Shlesers bloc.

ANSWER A: Answer: Harmony Center and us were supported by 50% of Riga's voters. LPP / LP is not a Russian party, it is a Latvian party, and there are numerous Russian speakers, because we do not categorize individuals based on nationality. The second session of the Duma's new Duma began with Dievs singing, sveti Latviju and all the Russian-speaking members of the Duma singing. It is however likely that no one will establish any Soviet-style regime inside the Duma. A Duma member of the rostrum will never speak Russian. LPP / LP stands for the official language. The "Consent Center" however, has not spoken about ensuring that work done in the Duma is conducted in Russian.

We also eliminated ZaPcHeL, in large part due to the actions of the LPP / LP.

Concerning the issue of power

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

ANSWER: We didn't talk about it. I do not plan to return to the Sejm. There is however a possibility that the party could nominate me as the presidency of the ministers. Айнарс Шлесерс This would impact my plans for Riga.

Today there are two blocs in the Duma, one from LPP/LP and TsS The other comes from New Time and the Civil Union. A comparable bloc is likely to be formed in the 10th Diet election. We are getting closer to America
