Riga Mayor Criticizes the 'Green Farmers'

Viesturs Kleinbergs has gone to Germany - together with the Minister of Transport.

As it became known, in the midst of the battle for granting airBaltic a loan, Minister of Transport Aitis Švinka departed for Germany, where he participates in a business forum alongside the Mayor of Riga. Riga Mayor Viesturs Kleinbergs decided to support his party mate Švinka and launched a criticism against the 'green farmers':

'Green farmers' are fools. They have corrupted the country, and instead of participating in stimulating economic growth, they are trying to blackmail the government to overthrow it. Meanwhile, Aitis Švinka and I are meeting in Hamburg, Lübeck, and Rostock with entrepreneurs, investors, and at the Baltic Sea region business summit, we are fulfilling the duties of the Minister of Economy,' Kleinbergs wrote on Facebook, thus also 'biting' at the Minister of Economy Viktor Valainis from the Union of Greens and Farmers.

The question arises: how did the 'progressive' ones work with the 'fools who have corrupted the country' in the same government for almost three years? Was there nothing hindering them? Did the feeding trough not press down?
