Minister: Lembergs is a problem of society | Baltic News Network ...

Edmunds Sprudzs

In his interview to Krustpunkt? programme of Latvian Radio, the minister says that he understands ? society sometimes protects and supports officials? illegal activities and thefts if that brings something to the people. However, according to Sprudzs, this kind of attitude of society is not right and it should not be. ?It cannot be possible that we are so tolerant of this ? it cannot be so,? ? notes Sprudzs.

The minister is certain that the moment society starts to change its attitude towards such questions; Lembergs will no longer be able to violate the law.

?I am ashamed that my system has a municipal leader like Lembergs. This kind of charade is unacceptable and is degrading for all of us,? ? said the minister. Sprudzs also added that he, as a minister, had no other choice, but to dismiss Lembergs from the post of Mayor of Ventspils after seeing his violations.

BNN previously reported that Environment Protection and Regional Development Minister Edmunds Sprudzs signed the order to dismiss Ventspils City Council Chairman Aivars Lembergs from his post on Monday, October 22. ?The goal of this order is to achieve fair and responsible management of municipalities in Latvia, including Ventspils. And this is not the goal of just the ministry; this is the goal of Latvia,? ? Sprudzs said.

Lembergs is presented with charges for committing serious crimes ? including bribery, money laundering, violation of restriction imposed to a state official and using an official status in bad faith.
