The Ombudsman, however, thinks and decides to resign / day

Shortly after 6pm, when it was known that the Saeima factions had agreed to collect signatures for his withdrawal, Janson told LETA that it would be completely silly to resign in this situation, saying « that politicians do their own way. »

The social media portal « LSM.LV » reports that a letter signed by 38 deputies has already been sent to the Saeima Bureau, encouraging Janson to recall. The letter was signed by deputies from all factions represented in the Saeima.

The Ombudsman noted LETA that if 38 members of the Saeima have signed a letter calling for him to be withdrawn from office and included in the agenda of the next sitting of the parliament, Jansons does not see the opportunity to continue his work. In addition, the Ombudsman’s Office also expressed his distrust.

« I have been afraid of this decision. (..) Waiting for Thursday would be useless. By Monday, I will submit a resignation article and refuse on Monday, because the Ombudsman can also announce such a decision alone and not even decide. »

LETA has already written that, due to the absence of Janson, the annual Ombudsman’s report was not discussed at the Saeima sitting earlier, raising questions about the reasons for his non -appearance. The situation was exacerbated by the fact that this is not the first time Janson has not come to the meeting, nor does he attend meetings of the Saeima commissions.

It has also been publicly reported that Janson often does not go to work and does not fulfill his duties because he has problems with alcohol consumption.

On Thursday, Jansons said in the Latvian Television program « Today’s issue » that he was likely to « take » from office. He also said that last year he still had « a lot of professional relationships » with his only deputy Ineta Piļāne, whom he had encouraged last year to claim the position of Ombudsman in the future. He acknowledged that at the moment the relationship between the two is « undoubtedly tension ».

Janson admitted that the Ombudsman’s Office had a conversation about his possible addiction. Asked if he had this addiction, he denied it. Asked what the causes of the office workers talked to him about it, he said, « See, people tend to forget. At good wages, at good working conditions, at good health insurance. (..) Very good, competitive pay. fourteenth years in this position « .

Asked why the office workers would face him, Janson said he could make various assumptions and speculate, but called for it to ask them themselves.
