“The mayor of Riga get fired”
“The Latvian capital Riga’s mayor Nils Usakovs, leader of the Harmonipartiet, sparkats by the government on the basis of what is stated to be serious financial irregularities.”
“Usakovs pointed in the beginning of the year out as a suspect in a korruptionsutredning which deals with contracts around the buses and trams for the city’s public transport.”
“He intends to appeal against the decision on dismissal to the court.”
“I will fight, I will stay for my constituents no matter what happens,” he says.”
“Harmonipartiet supported mostly by the country’s Russian population, who make up about a quarter of Latvia’s 1.9 million residents.”
