Not only sprats. The politician spoke about the "catastrophe" in the Latvian ports

Due to bad relations with Russia, a catastrophic situation has developed in Latvia in the field of sea transit, reports RIA News statement of the candidate of the Seimas from the party "Consent" Alexei Medvedev.

According to the politician, he was born and still lives in Ventspils, the city where the seaport is the main source of income. Today, there, as in all Latvian ports, there is a catastrophic situation in the field of transit.

The rapid decrease in transit cargo flows has a negative impact not only on the residents of the cities where the seaports are located. It affects all residents of our republic,

he declared.

Medvedev noted that even in 2016, sea and railway transport in total brought Latvia € 700 million, but this year revenues will decline significantly. There is no chance to improve the situation, then it will be even worse.

He expressed confidence that what is happening is the result of Riga’s foreign policy.

The aggravation of relations with Moscow literally destroys one of the main revenues of the Latvian budget. Russia did not wait and did not ask Latvia for anything - it built several new ports in the Baltic.

And now it’s where our millions of euros go,

stated the politician.

He called on the Latvian authorities to understand one simple truth - Europe will still receive Russian cargo. Russia will sell them itself and deliver it itself. Everyone is happy, there are no losers. In addition to Latvia, which is already excluded from this scheme.

At the same time, Medvedev added that if you try, you can still mitigate the situation with the help of compromises.

According to the agency, over the past 4, rail transport in Latvia decreased by 23%, turnover of sea ports by 16%, and the budget lost more than € 132 million.

The worsening position of the Russian-speakers, making anti-Russian political statements, they still hoped to "sit on the Russian pipe." After all, under the USSR there were bonuses and they got used to it. They say that then the Russian visitors were put in the way.

[verb]

By the way, in the days of the USSR, I was in work in all Baltic countries. So Russians were treated best of all in Latvia. Then Estonia and Lithuania went. And Riga ... What do you want - 73% of Russians! And Jurmala is nearby. in small towns, Russians everywhere were hostile.

How long have you built it? It was built without reading the railway component until 2015. Since then, the tribal docker would be happy to curry, but he was offered, if he wants to eat, to curry his hair in Norway or in some Iceland.

I was there in 1979 in Riga, in Jurmala, I still remember it as a fairy tale. For the whole time of vacation I have not heard a single rude word. And if there was something somewhere in the store, they referred to the fact that they did not hear the question. I don’t understand why Latvians need this nationalism. Indeed, in Soviet times they skated like cheese in oil, they even had something that was not in Moscow. This was especially true of cultural life.

The Balts, like most other republics, have confused investment and subsidies with an economic boom. Just as Ukraine believed that it was feeding the entire hungry country, so the Balts thought that they were supplying the backward USSR with high-tech electronics, etc. etc. Nationalism began to grow precisely on the basis of the slogans "enough to feed the entire USSR / Russia". Moreover, this disease struck even the party elite in the republics. My father told me how he drank vodka with the secretaries of local regional committees at some event in Liepaja in the 70s. And then one friend went over and began to say what was in his mind. It was then that my father learned that he was an occupier).

Yes, do not pay attention. We are talking about the catastrophe in the Baltic ports already all ears buzzed. 3 years buzzing. So what? If everything had been so bad, then the Balts would have changed their face for Russia a long time ago. But they do not blow something in their mustache. So only on our website they have a pipe, and they don’t even know about it. What the deputy said is probably his private business is suffering, so he voted.

For such thoughts to arise among the Baltic politicians, the reduction in trade should be several times and reduced to "0" not only from Russia, but also from Belarus.

According to the agency, over the past 4, rail transport in Latvia decreased by 23%, turnover of sea ports by 16%, and the budget lost more than € 132 million.

At this rate, the result will not only not be, but most likely the opposite effect will occur, because will give the Latvian economy a realignment. And the reduction in volumes at such times and with such minimal percentages is clearly connected with Western sanctions, and not with blocking transit.

[Kot_Kuzya]

Why should Russia feed these Nazis again? The port of Ust-Luga has already been built, in 2017, 103 million tons of cargo were handled through it, by 2023 it is planned to reach a cargo turnover of up to 190 million tons. For comparison, in 2007 only 7 million tons of cargo were handled. But all this cargo had to go through the ports of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, so the "beggars, but free!" Even if suddenly the Baltic countries radically change their foreign policy to improve relations with Russia, then why pay strangers? Let their Russian citizens and enterprises earn from the cargo turnover in Ust-Luga. What is the point of closing the port of Ust-Luga? Again to step on a rake like with the L-410, when, for the sake of the "fraternal" peoples, the production of the Be-30 was shut down and the orders were given to Czechoslovakia?

Even when it comes to the native Latvians who have become involved in politics, it will be too late for them to correct something. Otherwise, they settled themselves perfectly - for the utter Russophobia it feeds the EU and, at the same time, trades with Russia and gets good money for transit. The whole train has left and is visible until only the last carriage, which the Balts will not get into. But they are "free", the country is a continuous "democracy", no occupation (if you do not take into account NATO soldiers), etc.

[olimpiada15]

"Russia did not wait and did not ask Latvia for anything. They built several of their ports in the Baltic" "And now our millions of euros go there," according to the politician. Latvia's mistake is in the logic of these two phrases. It is Russian million euros that more go to Latvia, and they have always been Russian, not Latvian - this is what Latvian politicians should have understood when they opposed the Russian Federation - it was Russia that gave them its income and was never obliged to do this.
I would like the Russian authorities to understand the logic of what is happening, and in all cases of relations with the West. What makes Russian business is necessary and beneficial to the West, and only to the West. Russia needs to remember that it is a self-sufficient country, that is the basis of Russian statehood and should be the basis of the economy, but for now there is what it is: Russia is squeezing everything out of the country in order to strengthen the power of the west, the power that the west is striking across Russia. And in the name of what? Digits in computers of western banks? These owners of billions of fortunes think that they are immortal koshchei ???, so the fairy-tale hero was also not immortal.

[Mestny]

Understood nothing.
On the one hand, "Russia did not wait and built it." On the other hand, "Russia needs to remember that it is self-sufficient."
Is building ports, as I understand it, not Russia?
Or the next mantra about a separate people, individual oligarchs, and a certain Russia separate from all this?

[olimpiada15]

Russia built its own ports in the Baltic and this is right, because it’s a completely wild situation when the Baltic States, where the transit of goods from the Russian Federation was an essential part of their economy, spoiled relations with Russia struggling, not realizing that the transit was needed by the Baltic States, and was not a favor for the Russian Federation. This is just a special case for a huge country, which is the Russian Federation, but it is necessary that the basic part of the Russian economy does not depend on external intrigues and Wishlist. Today, investing $ billion in the construction of gas pipelines, we can’t guarantee that these investments will pay off: at any moment the West will play the same way and forget about the profitability of obtaining Russian pipeline gas, they can refuse, if only it would be worse for the Russian Federation, even to the detriment of its own economy, as Bulgaria did. Today, in international economic relations, everything depends on the policy, the purpose of which is to bring irreparable damage to the Russian Federation - this is what cannot be allowed.

[Victorio]

the disaster is still far away, port cargo turnover is declining, and I haven’t lied about the reasons either. and the return of goods, in normal relations and in large quantities, is possible only by a strong-willed decision from above

[bukhash]

There will be no normal relations even with a strong-willed decision from above. The generation of Russophobia has grown and goes to power, to politics, etc. This applies to all the former republics to one degree or another, not to mention Ukraine. Russians also have a lot of negativity This is good, an open enemy is better than a hidden one.

[Heterocapsa]

The foundation of the entire Baltic region is a Russophobic policy in cooperation with NATO. There will be no collapse. A warm place was found. I don’t undertake to choose the correct allies in the person of NATO and not Russia, because if we continue to pursue such a policy, then there will be no “allies” at all. Yes, they are already gone. Belarus and even then on paper. All these CSTO are a linden tree. But these comments like .... "here to fall apart".... give up this kindergarten. The USA is falling apart every day (we have such trumpets everywhere) and Russia here here.... nothing and no one will fall apart. Somewhere it will get worse, somewhere better. But there will be no collapse. At least where the Americans are interested in nothing to fall apart. They keep the printed dollar without experiencing any problems with donating these countries. But we, without allies, already have big problems that even "patriots on their heads" are beginning to see. It is shameful to have such wealth and For decades, nothing at all can be done in the economy. Germany in a short time without resources has turned into a supernagator of the technological. And we have everything to load the brain of a poor Russian ... wait ... here ... the bottom has already passed ...a little more .... we need a breakthrough .... the economy is stabilizing .... rally, all around are US terrorists and Ukrainian fascists ... this bagpipe hesitated. For how many decades already a person in Russia wants to live a normal human life .... but no ..... wait, there will be breakthroughs soon .... and so for many many years ..... and people have been waiting for generations are born and die .... but corruption goes off scale, theft and technological Middle Ages are everywhere.
