Burov will be required to have an ugly pass – Independent

A small scandal, it should be recalled, was organized by his political opponents from the Social Democratic Party “Harmony”. Burov, in turn, represents the list of the party “Honor to Serve Riga”. As these two parties are running for the votes of the Russian electorate, it is natural for compromises to enter the public sphere.

It is better not to support the chin

In the present case, the compromising facts are obvious. In almost every publicity photo, Burov is seen with his left arm resting on his chin. Maybe a public relations guru has taught him that he will look smarter or more liberated. However, the clock is also displayed on the raised arm. Opponents have accordingly found out that it is a very expensive watch that has never been declared, but Burov awkwardly justifies that it was given to him by a friend ten years ago. Burovs does not say what kind of services the long-term director of the Riga City Council Property Department has provided to his friend, that he has received more than ten thousand gold watches. This instructive case now makes all politicians think about whether it is better not to put a more modest clock on hand in the pre-election atmosphere, or perhaps even to carry an hourglass. After discussing Burov’s pictures in social networks, the research of the clock of Nila Ušakova, a member of the social democratic party “Sadarba”, has also started. It also doesn’t look like a watch store for the masses.

He will not do that again

But the watch is not the only “bone” found by competitors in Burov’s closet. The second is a pass to park a car in the center of Riga near the Congress House, which the political opponent has reported to the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau. It was not difficult to find this compromising fact either, because everyone in the city council knows what kind of car Burov is driving, where it is parked and on what basis. As for the clock, Burov sees nothing to be criticized, but he admits that the use of the pass after the end of his term of office is incorrect. Not beautiful. Although the fact that without exercising the right to stand at the Riga City Council building, which has been granted to all former mayors, is mentioned as a partial justification:

“Finally, as a chairman of the council, I do not use this opportunity to use the parking lot of the town hall, but a couple of times I have really used the old” Rīgas namu “pass. I admit that this is not good and correct. I will not do that in the future. “

Privileges must be abandoned

But promise alone will not be enough. SIA “Rīgas nami” has decided to reclaim the pass issued to Burov. Here is the explanation provided by the company:

SIA “Rīgas nami” issues passes for temporary entry of vehicles into the territory near the real estate territory managers of the Riga Congress House, long-term tenants of the existing premises, service providers, as well as representatives of SIA “Rīgas nami”. These passes are issued free of charge so that service providers can ensure the availability of services. The issued passes do not cause losses to SIA “Rīgas nami”. For Oleg Burov, the entry pass of the vehicle of SIA “Rīgas nami” has been preserved from the time when he was the holder of the shares of SIA “Rīgas nami” and it was necessary to park the car at the work of the Riga Congress House. SIA “Rīgas nami” vehicles temporary entry passes in the specific territory are reviewed once a year. After their evaluation, new ones are issued for the next calendar year or by the deadline set for the respective year.

In the near future, the real estate manager will contact Mr. Oleg Burov to agree on the transfer of the pass to SIA “Rīgas nami”. “

If you lose your job, you should also give up your privileges.
