Notes

Ainars SLERS: "I do not intend to return to Saeima. Only at the highest levels of government.


Latvijas Avize published under this under the heading of a lengthy, nearly two-page interview in the newspaper featuring Ainars. Journalists Voldemars Krustins and Dainis Lemeshenoks have slammed Slesers, Slesers and not Nil Ushakov, "the actual commander of Riga" and Slesers, being the primary character of the capitalcity, was asked the appropriate questions. Here are the answers to some of them.

Regarding changes to personnel in Duma

A QUESTION. Not a single politician can replace some of their staff with others.

ANSWER. Given the current economic crisis It is essential to ensure that we don't take over anyone, but instead make significant structural changes. We agreed to reduce the executive directorates within the city from six to three and thus release a substantial number of those who worked in these directorates. Self-managements are the second reform. Айнарс Шлесерс There are fifteen in the capital and they should be united to form one. Our activities will be in competition with private housekeeping companies, so they must become more effective. It is possible, I think to significantly reduce the maintenance costs so that people spend less.

Information on business plans

Riga residents still have concerns regarding the possibility of introducing a tax on living spaces. What is your opinion on this idea of the city's government as head of the city?

Answer: This initiative by the state is very negative for me even though tax money is used to manage my finances. If people do not have the funds to accomplish the most essential things, it is an excellent idea to introduce another tax... The Seimas will not vote for. But the main issue is how do you find money in times of need? It's not sensible to help those areas of economic activity where things are going badly, it is better to invest in areas that are profitable.

Mr. Shlesers described transport as the "profitable" product, since Latvia is a transit nation. The port of Riga is able to transship cargo coming from Russia or Belarus. The port of Riga is currently being developed by building on Kundzinsala, Krievu Island and other areas. Айнарс Шлесерс Many people find this plan difficult to believe. https://www.vesti.ru/article/2249173 The Riga International Airport's operation that transforms the capital into a place where international business and cultural meetings can take place is yet another area that is profitable. Айнарс Шлесерс To achieve this, it's necessary to place orders in the middle of Riga's capital. This will make sure that guests aren't robbed in taxis, restaurants, or even in public spaces. Айнарс Шлесерс According to Mr. Slesers, to hold more pop music concerts in order that, for example when people wanted to hear Madonna the crowd did not go to Tallinn rather to Riga. Айнарс Шлесерс "We," said the vice-mayor "want not to attract low-cost, but wealthy tourists." However, this requires a high-quality tourist "product". It is important to understand the USA, London, Switzerland, and the other countries that issue "green cards" to foreigners investing at least half-a million dollars in production or local real estate. They are able to stay for a long time in the Republic (not citizenship). ).

All these "huge ambitions" are not brand new. They were made public by Mr. https://eadaily.com/ru/news/2021/06/14/izvestnyy-politik-shlesers-obeshchaet-naladit-zhizn-v-latvii-so-svoey-novoy-partiey Shlesers in the course of the election campaign. Today, journalists are interested in their implementation, but it's still too early to speak about the concrete outcomes. Thus, most likely, about half of questions in the interview were focused on the issues of relations between the economic and legislative authorities, and the vice-mayor's position on ideology.

To the question on "stinking" policies

QUESTION. Let's go back to our "stinking policies". Recent discussions about the Saeima elections have been complicated by Mr. Slesers' statement that his party will fight to get a seat in the parliament by using the "Consent Center" and the message from Ms. Aboltini of the New Times that all Latvian parties should join forces against the Shlesers bloc.

A RESOLVEMENT. 50% of Riga voters supported the Harmony Center. LPP / LP, while not a Russian-based party however, is a Latvian party with many Russian people. This is because we don't discriminate between nationalities. The second session began with Dievs and sveti Latviju opening the proceedings. There is no plan to make an Soviet regime within the Duma. A Duma member on the rostrum cannot speak Russian. LPP / LP stands for the state language. The "Consent Center" however, has never made any mention of ensuring all work conducted in the Duma is conducted in Russian.

We also destroyed ZaPcHeL In large part, due to actions taken by the LPP / LP.

Power:

A QUESTION. Will Shlesers be leading Ushakov's Party in the Seim elections.

Answer I don't intend to go back to the Sejm. It is possible that I be chosen by the party for the presidency, which would alter my plans for returning to Riga.

Айнарс Шлесерс The Duma is divided into two groups One from LPP/LP/TsS while the other one from New Time. In the 10th Diet elections there is a possibility that something similar will be created. We are getting closer to America
