Political posts and news in Budget from Apvienotais saraksts, from monitored Latvian public sources.
Today I met with the chairman of Liepāja City Council @GunarsAnsins to discuss the new municipal financial equalization model. This was an important meeting – if we don't know what municipalities think, how people live in different regions, our decisions may not be objective. #Liepāja #sadarbība
To prevent further wasteful spending, the public procurement system will be reviewed; To reach a positive solution in the 'Rail Baltica' area, the oversight of this project must be changed; 'Air Baltic' finally must have a business plan that corresponds to the market situation https://t.co/jVpSYqA4x4
To reduce the risks of wasting public funds, we will initiate a review of priority state procurement and the procurement of the largest capital companies, paying special attention to cost increases, contract amendments, and risks of restricting competition. - https://t.co/JPNgP1QE21 via @nralv
The new government has been approved in the Saeima, and now there is intensive work ahead to ensure responsible, effective and targeted use of funds, so that state funding provides a real contribution to Latvia's security, economic development and quality of life of the population.
Any new political initiatives, when forming the budget, must be linked to one of the main priorities – security, healthcare, education. Budget spending must be rational, sustainable. https://t.co/mIpELNlfxx
📍When forming the government, from time to time someone needs to be reminded – now we have to save the state, not forge unrealistic future plans; 📍The budget must find large sums to ensure state functions, and this can be done without affecting residents. https://t.co/y5MGjt6Tgg
