“For Development / About!” leaders criticize Karin ‘s position during the crisis after his statements about health ministers

“I was taught that in the management of major crises, it is fundamentally to rely on experts, to work in a team and to communicate decided issues, not contradictory statements. I would not want us to deviate from the principles in dealing with a pandemic. Especially on the part of the captain. Twitter “says Pūce, Co-Chair of the HR, Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development.

Pavluts, co-chair of the HR and leader of the Saeima faction, also emphasizes in a Twitter post that if he has to decide whether to rely on the vision of the Minister of Health, Master of Public Health Vīķele and experts or the Prime Minister’s “feeling”, then the AP politician will always choose rely on health ministers and experts.

“A storm on a ship’s bridge requires a captain who trusts his team and builds trust, rather than solving his fears and helplessness in search of the culprits,” Pavluts emphasizes.

As reported, Kariņš is dissatisfied with the pace of Health Minister Šķele on Covid-19 issues, he admitted in an interview with the magazine “Ir”, adding that he takes full responsibility for not being forced to act faster.

Kariņš emphasizes that the government has been actively following for four weeks what the doctors themselves say about the system’s ability to cope. Last week, for the first time, the Ministry of Health convened its own internal crisis management team to begin reorganizing hospitals and freeing up more beds for potential Covid-19 patients. “Before that, the system itself was not ready to accept that the crisis is growing very dramatically. The pace at which the situation is understood and solutions are offered has long been too slow,” admits Kariņš.

The Prime Minister emphasizes that he is deeply dissatisfied with the pace of the Minister of Health and, as the head of government, takes responsibility for not being forced to act faster.

It has already been reported that in order to limit the spread of Covid-19 in Latvia, the government conceptually agreed on Tuesday to introduce an emergency situation, but the final decision is planned to be made on Friday.
