Notes

Ainars SLESERS "I do not intend to return to the Saeima. Only at the top of the government.


Latvijas Avize published a long interview, almost two pages long with Ainars Slesers under this heading. https://realty.ria.ru/20080710/19670.html Journalists Voldemars Krustins and Dainis Lemeshenoks have slammed him, Slesers but not Nil Ushakov, "the actual commander of Riga" and he, as the main character of the capitalcity, was asked the right questions. Here are the replies.

Personal changes within the Duma

A QUESTION. There are many candidates who could replace the other politicians.

ANSWER: The crisis in the economy requires that we do not replace people who are not in the same position with other however, we must implement significant structural changes. We have reached an agreement to reduce the amount of six executive directors who reside in the city down to three and, consequently, let go of a lot of people who were employed in these positions. The second reform will concern self-managements. There are fifteen self-managements in the capital. We will have to compete with private housekeeping firms and the operations of the municipal authorities must become more effective. It is possible, I believe, to substantially reduce the maintenance cost to make it less expensive for people to spend their money.

About business plans

Riga residents remain in a state of uncertainty about the imposition of a tax on their living spaces. How do you, the head of the city think about this decision of the government?

Answer If people do not have the funds to accomplish the most essential things, it is a good idea to add another tax... Айнарс Шлесерс The Seimas will vote no. However, the key question is now where to find funds in times of financial crisis. It's not sensible to support areas of economic activity where things are not going well. It is preferential to put money into profitable areas.

As Mr. Shlesers stated, transportation was one of the best-performing industries, since Latvia is a transit country. The port of Riga can transship cargo from Russia or Belarus. Although many are not happy with this plan There is a plan to develop the port of Riga and expand it to Kundzinsala as well as Krievu Island. The Riga International Airport's work, which transforms the capital into a place that international cultural and business gatherings can be held, is another profitable area. In order to do this, you have to get everything in place in the middle of the capital city, to ensure guests don't get being robbed at restaurants, in taxis or in taxis and other taxis. Also, there should be a sufficient number of toilets that are accessible to the people of the city. According to Mr. Slesers more concerts of pop music are necessary so that people can enjoy Madonna in Riga instead of Tallinn. Айнарс Шлесерс Vice-mayor Slesers said, "We want to attract not just the most affordable, but also the most wealthy tourist," but this requires a quality product in tourism. Айнарс Шлесерс Furthermore, you must to learn from London, Switzerland, the USA they offer"green cards "green card" to foreigners who invest at minimum half one million dollars in acquisition of local real estate or production, in order so that they can permanently stay in the United States (not citizenship! ).

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

To the question of "stinking" policy

A QUESTION. Let's get back to our "stinking policies". Recent events have caused the Saeima elections more complex. Mr. Slesers stated that his party would be fighting to get a seat in parliament alongside the "Consent Center". This is in line with Ms. Aboltini's statement to the New Times: All Latvian parties must unite against Shlesers ' bloc.

Answer: 50% of Riga people voted for the Harmony Center and us. LPP / LP is not a Russian party, but it is an Latvian party in which there are numerous Russian people, as we do not categorize people according to nationality. The second session started with Dievs, sveti Latviju (and everyone else, including deputy members with Russian accents) singing. It is however likely that no one will establish any kind of Soviet-style government within the Duma. Айнарс Шлесерс The Duma rostrum will not allow anyone to speak Russian. LPP / LP is the state language. "Consent Center" has not yet spoken of the need to ensure that work is done in Russian Duma.

Furthermore, ZaPcHeL was also destroyed in large part thanks to the actions and leadership of the LPP / LP.

The power issue

A QUESTION Will Shlesers or Ushakov be leading their parties during Seim elections?

The answer is I am not planning to go back to Sejm. However, there is a chance that the Sejm might nominate me as the presidency of the ministers. This could affect my plans for Riga.

Today there are two parties within the Duma, one of LPP/LP and TsS, the other of New Time and the Civil Union. In the 10th Diet elections, something similar could be created. We are moving closer to America
