Today, during the weekly meeting between the president and the prime minister, the focus was, of course, on airBaltic - the issuance of a loan to the national airline and the overall situation at airBaltic were discussed. As far as can be understood, the financial situation at the airline is extremely dramatic, and the president indicated at a press conference after the meeting with the prime minister that airBaltic is creating a significant financial burden on the state and that consideration must be given to restructuring the airline and attracting investors. Edgars Rinkēvičs emphasized that he understands the deputies, as they will need to justify their vote on the loan to their constituents and to society as a whole. In turn, Evika Siliņa continued to insist on providing the loan. "This is not about immediately transferring 30 million and the company deciding how to spend it. This will be a credit line - and the money will go towards specific expenses related to the purchase of aviation fuel, which has recently increased in price by more than 2 times!" the prime minister explained and stated that airBaltic is very important to her. Meanwhile, today closer to noon, it became clear that negotiations between the "Progressives" and the "Green Farmers" regarding the issuance of a loan to the airline have reached a deadlock. It turned out that the leadership of the "Progressives" did not even consider the proposals or some kind of conditions (ultimatum) from the Union of Greens and Farmers. Rumor has it that the "Green Farmers" proposed either to place airBaltic under the supervision of the Ministry of Economics, that is, under the oversight of a representative of the Union of Greens and Farmers, or for the Minister of Transport, Aivis Švinkē, to take political responsibility for the timely repayment of the loan, that is, by August 31 of this year. Since it is evident that the "Green Farmers" are not yet ready to support the provision of the loan, the prime minister and the Minister of Transport are trying to persuade part of the opposition to vote for the loan issuance. The United List has already refused to do so, and now Evika Siliņa is trying to "work" with the National Alliance. It is unlikely that the right-wing opposition will come to the aid of the government or part of the government.
