Notes

Ainars SLESERS "I don't intend to return to the Saeima. It is only at the top of the government.


Latvijas Avize published a long interview of nearly two pages with Ainars Slesers under this title. Dainis Lemeshenoks as well as Voldemars Kratins were journalists who were among the journalists who called him Slesers rather than Nil Ushakov. He was the main persona in the capital and was given the correct questions. Here are the replies.

About personnel changes in the Duma

A QUESTION. What about the personnel? There is no way for a politician to do it all without having to replace others.

ANSWER. https://rop.lv/lv/node/5362 The economic crisis requires that we not only replace certain people but also make reforms to the structure. We agreed to reduce the executive directorates within the city from six to three and thereby release a large number of people who were employed in these directorates. The other reform concerns self-management. There are 15 of them in the capital and they must be combined to form one. Since we will be competing with private housekeeping services The activities of the municipality must be more efficient. It is feasible to reduce maintenance costs , so that the residents are paying less.

Information on business plans

Riga residents are still concerned about the possibility to introduce a tax on living spaces. What are your thoughts on this idea of the Riga government, as the city's head?

Answer: I view this initiative as a state policy very negatively, even if tax money will go to self-management. When people are in a state of crisis and do not have enough funds, they can introduce another tax... We Seimas aren't going to be voting for it. However, the key question is where to get cash in times of need. It's not sensible to support areas of economic activity where the economy is not performing well. It is more beneficial to invest your money in lucrative areas.

As Mr. Shlesers has stated the situation, Mr. Айнарс Шлесерс Айнарс Шлесерс Shlesers specifically mentioned transport as Latvia is regarded as a transit state. Before the conflict the port in Klaipeda was able to transport goods from Russia and Belarus. While some see this as a gruelling plan, it's being implemented. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4TQgM4aqus Other profitable areas are the activities of the Riga International Airport, the transformation of Riga into a city where international meetings for business and culture take place. To achieve this, you have to get everything in place in the middle of the capital so guests don't get robbed in restaurants, taxis and other taxis. Also, there should be a sufficient number of public toilets on the streets of the city. According to Mr. Айнарс Шлесерс Slesers there is a need to host more pop music events. This will allow for, for instance, Madonna to be heard in Tallinn and Riga. "We," the vice-mayor said, "want to attract not inexpensive, but well-off visitors," but this requires the highest quality tourism "product". It is essential to be aware of the US, London, Switzerland, and other countries that issue "green cards" for foreigners who invest at least half-a million dollars in local production or real property. This allows them to stay permanently in the United States (not citizenship). ).

The "huge plans" aren't new. Mr. Shlesers announced them during the election campaign. The implementation of these plans is an issue which journalists are keen to cover, even though it is too early to announce specific outcomes. The vice-mayor's ideology and the relations between the legislative and economic authorities was probably the focus of the majority of interview questions.

Айнарс Шлесерс Concerning the issue of "stinking" policy

A QUESTION. What about our "stinking” policy? Recent discussions about the Saeima elections are complicated by Mr. Slesers' statement that his party would be fighting for a seat at parliament through the "Consent Center" and also the suggestion from Ms. Aboltini of the New Times that all Latvian parties should come together against the Shlesers bloc.

Answer: 50 percent of Riga voters supported the Harmony Center and us. LPP / LP doesn't belong to Russia, but it is a Latvian Party. There are many Russian people who are members of the party, as we don't categorize people based on nationality. The second session began by introducing Dievs, and sveti Latviju starting the proceedings. But, nobody will set up a Soviet-style government in the Duma. Also, no one is going to speak Russian on the Duma podium. LPP / LP is the official language of the state. "Consent Center" hasn't spoken about working in the Russian Duma.

Additionally the fact that, in large part due to the efforts of the LPP / LP, the ability of us to consolidate Russian speakers around us, we destroyed ZaPcHeL.

Power:

A QUESTION. Will Shlesers & Ushakov lead their respective parties in Seim elections.

Answer: It was not something we discussed. I am not planning to return to Sejm. However, there is a chance that the party might choose me to be the president of ministers. This could affect my plans for Riga.

There are currently two distinct blocs in the Duma one of which is from LPP/LP, TsS and the other from New Time, and the Civil Union. A similar bloc could emerge in the 10th Diet. America is near
