Viesturs Kleinbergs (“Progresīvie”): “A temporary bridge is the best solution for several reasons. First, because it will allow us to repair the Vanšu Bridge faster, reducing the potential problems at a time when in 2028 there will be not only the Song Festival, but we will also be the presiding country of the European Union in the second half of the year.” #ŠodienasJautājums
The Baltic states have agreed to extend the first phase of the Rail Baltica railway project until 2034, Latvia’s Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs (AS) told journalists on Tuesday.
Day No. 76 in the prime minister's seat (Tuesday) – Cabinet meeting already with -1 minister 😏
I returned from Lapland, but the Cabinet of Ministers has become one minister smaller during this time.
🏛️ Cabinet meeting – getting more and more amusing.
The approach of elections can already be felt in almost every coalition partnership.
The first government meeting with -1 minister – Uzulnieks is replaced by Augulis, but since Valainis is on a business trip, Augulis actually represented as many as 3 ZZS ministries today. 😄
🌾🚂🇷🇺 grains and Latvian farmers' exports
We adopted a decision to increase the railway infrastructure fee for 🇷🇺 grain cargo. Our priority – export of Latvian farmers' products and the competitiveness of our own entrepreneurs.
📏 60 m² of land and the absurdity of bureaucracy
Today I learned about yet another bureaucratic nonsense.
The state is disposing of 60 m² of land, for which the owner is paid approximately €23, because that is the value of the land.
But to carry out this transaction:
➖️ an appraisal costs about €200–300;
➖️ land surveying – another €1000–2000;
➖️ additionally, surveyor costs come on top.
This is total nonsense.
I tasked the Minister of Justice, Mr. Smiltēns, to immediately look for a solution and remove this unnecessary bureaucracy in cases where such small plots of land are involved.
🚌 €9.8 million to intercity bus operators
We adopted a decision to pay bus operators €9.8 million in debt for intercity bus services.
This problem has been dragging on unresolved for more than the tenure of two transport ministers of the previous government.
At the same time, I tasked the Minister of Transport to bring a long-term solution already in October. Companies must know under what rules to work and how to plan their business further – they cannot live in uncertainty every year.
🎙️ LDDK/LTRK prime ministerial debates
@AlvisHermanis1 did not come to the debate.
Pity, because this was the right place to defend your ideas and position. I specifically wanted to hear:
➖️ what his plan for Latvia's economic growth is;
➖️ how to attract more investment;
➖️ how to increase Latvia's exports.
I also find interesting the publicly voiced reproaches to LDDK and @LTRK_uznemeji about labor migration.
Here, however, one should rely on facts, not loud slogans.
📊 Looking at the data on the so-called "pseudo student" problem, it is concentrated in specific universities – and @RostovskisA Turība is not among them.
Whereas @darbadeveji itself does not in any way promote illegal migration.
Also, for example, the Karavela led by @AndrisBite employs third-country workers legally and in a relatively small volume – mainly because in Latvia there simply are not people willing to do such physically demanding work.
👉 Migration must be discussed seriously.
But more importantly – based on data, facts, and the real situation, not statements.
On TikTok, they're telling at length how bad the Waterfront project is. I agree, Andris! But… it's a project accepted by the Riga municipality, and the municipality is currently led by the mayor from Progresīvie. So maybe you should also do something—fight, cancel the permits, and don't build the infrastructure…
During the reconstruction of the Vanšu Bridge, traffic will not be completely closed, but a temporary bridge is planned. Riga's vice mayor Māris Sprindžuks from the United List has however said that the construction of the temporary bridge is delayed. In his opinion, starting to look for a place for the temporary bridge a year before the renovation work begins is a utopian idea.
