Mičerevskis has previously pointed out in the Latvian Television program “Viens vs viens” Jaunups’ possible interests in the field of waste, construction sector and that the circle of supporters related to Jaunups in business may coincide with some decisions made by the government, the Saeima.

Asked whether the fact that Micherevsky was right in the “pass case” shows that he was also right about Jaunup’s influence, Jaunups replied, among other things, that Micherevsky was saying that the Saeima majority and the government were incapable or dishonest. “I think this is absurd,” stressed the board member of the AP and LA.

Responding to what the former party member said, Jaunups also emphasizes that he usually does not comment on “ordinary lies and purposeful inventions” and does not engage in speculation, but this time he does so exceptionally. The politician points out that he works on the board of both the party association and the LA, and if their agenda includes issues such as gambling regulation, spouse law or tax policy, the entire board discusses and decides on the formulation of the association and party policy.
–
“That’s the way it is and it’s logical. The fact that my position is pro-business is also clear. I’m a liberal and right-wing politician with a fairly strict opinion system, unlike populists and those who are always looking for popular positions like many in politics,” emphasizes Jaunups. .

All money donated to the party comes from sponsors, who are then distributed to members to donate. Of course, Edgars keeps some of the sponsor’s money for himself. Others, including me, do not. I do not know about Yuri.

Mičerevskis also asked in a Twitter post whether Jaunups and Pūce had discussed the issue of gambling in a narrow circle before any of the Saeima votes in connection with this sector.
–
In his reply, the board member of the HR and LA pointed out that in the “normal daily work of the party” topicalities and positions can be discussed with colleagues individually. At the same time, Jaunups emphasized that decisions are made “only” in the board.
–
Asked whether there is an inappropriate influence of the gambling lobby with regard to AP and whether it is related and manifested through himself, Jaunups stated that the connection of the gambling business with LA is a myth that is purposefully maintained by the party’s competitors.
–
“We are in favor of tighter and more age-appropriate regulation in this area,” the politician said, referring to the HR’s previous proposals on gambling regulation. At the same time, the party alliance is against populism, which calls for a ban on everything, thus driving the sector into the illegal market, explained the board member of the HR and LA.

Commenting on another question raised by Mičerevskis about the supporters of the basketball club “VEF Rīga”, Jaunups emphasized that he had already answered this question several times. The politician points out that the management of “VEF Rīga” does not receive a salary and the club has only a sports function. The politician emphasizes that everything regarding the operation of the club is transparent, but in Latvia, as a small country, a company working in the field of peer supervision can also be a supporter of VEF.
