Notes

Ainars, SLESERS: I do not plan to return to Saeima. Only to the head.


Latvijas Avize published an extensive two-page interview with Ainars Selesers. The interview was published under this title. Dainis Lemmeshenoks as well as Voldemars Krustins, both journalists, addressed him as Slesers. Айнарс Шлесерс This was not Nil Ushakov who is the "actual commander of Riga". He is the main character of the capital was then questioned on the pertinent questions. Here are the answers to a few.

Personal changes in the Duma

Question: What is the situation with the personnel? There is no way for a politician to do everything without others.

ANSWER. With the current economic situation, it is important to not take over anyone, but instead make significant structural adjustments. We reached an agreement to reduce the number six-member executive directors in the city to three and, consequently, let go of a lot of people who were employed in these positions. Another reform is related to self-management. There are at present fifteen self-managements in the capital. Айнарс Шлесерс They should be combined into one. Our activities will be in competition with private housekeeping agencies and therefore they have to be more efficient. I'm certain that it is possible to significantly lower the costs of maintenance so that people pay less.

Айнарс Шлесерс About business plans

QUESTION. Residents in Riga are still concerned about the possibility that taxes could be imposed on their living space. What is the opinion of the president of Riga feel about the new initiative by the government?

A RESOLVEMENT In times of crisis when the people are unable to pay for the basic expenses such as food and shelter, the Seimas will be against the introduction of another tax. But the main question is now where to find money in times of crisis. It is not a good option to help regions that are facing economic difficulties. Instead, invest in areas that are profitable.

As Mr. Shlesers called, transport was one of the best-performing industries, because Latvia is a transit state. In the past, cargo transshipment between Russia and Belarus could be carried out at the port of Riga. This was also possible prior to the conflict with Russia. There is a plan in place for the expansion of the port of Riga and the construction of Kundzinsala, Krievu Island, and other territories, although many people are uncomfortable with this plan. Other lucrative areas include the activities of the Riga International Airport, the transformation of the capital into a place where international business and cultural meetings are held. First, you must organize the capital so that people don't rob restaurants or taxis. According to Mr. Slesers more concerts of pop music are required so that people can listen to Madonna at Riga instead of Tallinn. According to the vice-mayor "We" are trying to attract wealthy, however not cheap tourists. However this requires an excellent tourist "product". Additionally, you have to take lessons from London, Switzerland, the USA - they issue"green cards "green card" for foreigners who invest at minimum half one million dollars in the purchase of real estate in the local area or in production, in order to permit them to reside in the republic (not citizenship! ).

These "huge plans" aren't new. Mr. Shlesers made them public during the campaign for president. While journalists are looking into their implementation however, it's still too early to talk about concrete results. So, it is likely that about half of interview questions were devoted to the problems of relations between the economic and legislative authorities, as well as the vice-mayor's ideology.

To the question about "stinking" policies

QUESTION. Let's now discuss our "stinking strategy". Discussions about the Saeima elections have been complicated by Mr. https://latvijapirmajavieta.lv/айнарс-шлесерс-я-предлагаю-латвии-10-000-000-000-eur/ Slesers' statement that his party would be fighting to get a seat in the parliament through the "Consent Center" and also the suggestion of Ms. Aboltini of the New Times that all Latvian parties should unite against the Shlesers bloc.

ANSWER. 50 percent of Riga voters have voted for the Harmony Center. LPP / LP has no Russian affiliation. It's more of an Latvian political party. A large portion of its members are Russian people. The second session of the Duma's new Duma started with Dievs singing, sveti Latviju and all the Russian-speaking members of the Duma singing. No one is going to establish the Soviet regime in Duma. Nobody will speak Russian from the Duma's rostrum. LPP / LP was always a symbol of the official language. And the "Consent Center", which is a non-governmental entity and has never spoken of the need to ensure work at the Duma in Russian.

Additionally, ZaPcHeL was also destroyed mostly due to the leadership and actions of the LPP / LP.

QUESTION: Will Shlesers and Ushakov lead their parties in the Seim elections?

Answer : It wasn't something we talked about. I don't plan to go back to Sejm. However, there is possibility that the Sejm will nominate me for the post of ministerial president which would alter my plans for Riga.
