Due to the secrecy of the project, he is not entitled to disclose when the last approval was received to start site preparation, but notes that “this summer was a period of all necessary approvals.”
It should be noted, however, that the bird nesting season was hardly the main reason why the work did not start sooner, because the nesting season in Riga ended two months earlier – at the end of June.
The Security Service also does not mention more precise dates when the last approvals for the commencement of work were received. But he claims that the presumption of delay due to the election is unfounded.
Ēriks Cinkus, Deputy Head of the SLS, explains that the time of sawing trees was also determined by the opportunities of the involved companies: “Several companies are involved in the construction process. We have no legal right to thwart this decision. By arguing that we have to wait for a better time to start sawing trees, we are creating downtime that costs the state extra money. We work according to a pre-set schedule. ”
According to the Deputy Head of the SLS, the start of sawing was “a completely adequate period” and “there is no policy in this decision”.
The decision to build the building on the site of the former bicycle track in 2017 was secretly made by the government of Māra Kučinska (ZZS), and only at the beginning of this year, several months after receiving the felling permit, the public was informed who the building is intended for. At that time, many Rigans were already actively fighting for the preservation of trees. In the spring of this year, the National Security Commission of the Saeima, headed by Kuchinsky, after examining the objections of the residents, recommended to continue the project, and the majority of deputies supported it.
When asked whether he knew when to cut trees, Kučinskis does not answer directly, but reminds that the Saeima commission completed its work in the spring and “this is the end of our functions”.

Due to secrecy, it is still not known what the building will look like. It is not revealed who will bring it. Currently, only a few construction companies have the necessary permits to build such secret facilities, as many heavyweights in the industry have lost the relevant safety certificates in recent years. The full list of survivors is not known, but permits were not revoked, such as Re & Re and UPB, the latter most likely selected as the builder of the VDD building, according to unofficial information.
“De facto” also found that the contracted builder had initially charged more for the work than the government funding. The VDD explains that it was difficult for the builders to make calculations due to the specifics of the object. In the end, however, the amount has not changed. What it is is not revealed.
“It was a long, complicated negotiation process, and in fact, signing the contract took all this summer,” says Zincus.
