President encourages Latvian citizens to participate in local elections / day

The President on Wednesday at the Jurmala residence after a meeting with Prime Minister Evik Siliņš (JV) stressed that people do not like instructions on what to do or not to do. He continued that everyone would have grown up and that people would decide on their own feelings, or vote to vote according to the offer that the voter wants to see in their city or county.

Rinkēvičs will go to Jurmala, who he has declared. The President believes that if he participates in the election, evaluating party offers to make Jurmala an even stronger resort town, understanding what the problems are, then the owner of Riga Castle has the right to ask for responsibility from Jurmala City Council and deputies.

« If I did not participate in the election, it would not be really fair to turn to the deputies and the municipality’s leadership and point out what I have done or not. This is my opportunity, because when I vote, I can ask for concrete results, » the President said.

Rinkēvičs admitted that he had something to think about what to rate because the offer « is interesting ». The President is to convince that there is definitely something to vote in every county and city, even if the lists sometimes seem to be ideal – if there is a candidate who has no desire to see, then it is possible to mark it on ballot papers, painting oval in red, or in particular supporting oval in green.

Municipal elections will take place this weekend, but residents can put their vote in the previous vote throughout the week.
