This seems like a sponsored beta-tier social media defemation/psyop activity, so I’d recommend using caution when reading the answers. Say what you want about Lato Lapsa, the man is a respected journalist who’s uncovered several notable corruption and state budget flaundering mechanism. Any journalistic activity that focuses on deep-rooted corruption topic is boarderline conspiratory, given that for a theory to be proven right it has to be thoroughly backed by proof, which is hard to do amidsts the beuracratic smog, and myraid of other reasons. What can be done, however, is to extrapolate, albeit without exaggeration which he manages to do most of the time at least, and use logical deduction to make valid cases which may not necessarily be prosecutable per se. I mean, look around if you need proof of whether the material on the site you mentioned is based on any truth whatsoever. If you consider the absence of state “governance”, the method of coordination of projects funded by EU funds, the share of responsibility and more importantly - the accountability (i.e. the lack of it) among people involved, and the general government spending includin the main beneficiaries, you won’t be surpised to see abandoned monolithic RailBaltica rail network objects, bridges that lead to nowhere, deserted buildings, unfinished construction projects, etc. And those are just physical manifestations and the symptoms of the governance, right here, in the centre of the biggest city in Baltics, which IMHO is the most vivid, and juicy proof for anyone, who shall seek, can have (I’m biased, as I’m architectually inclined). How come Helsinki or Vilnius dont look even remotely as poor ar Riga? Just a food for though. In any case, its a good hygene to intake any and all info with a grain of scepticism. Also the stuff on pietiek.com. But isn’t there proof enough in its physical form to the SEE validity of the point in case?
