Aleksandrs Bartaševičs, the mayor of Rēzekne, assures citizens that despite his suspension, he will continue to oversee the city's development and encourages them not to worry.
Aleksandrs Bartaševičs, who was suspended from his position as mayor of Rēzekne, reassured the residents via social media that he remains committed to monitoring the progress of promises made to the community. He urged the citizens not to worry as the formal decision by the minister does not strip them of their rights to promote the city's growth. Bartaševičs stressed that the municipal budget has been approved with reserves for renovation and repairs, and that public transport benefits have also been confirmed.
In his message, Bartaševičs highlighted the ongoing work of local services and assured citizens that he has a reliable team of professionals who are dedicated to the continued development of Rēzekne. His assurance seeks to calm any potential panic among residents following his suspension and emphasizes the commitment to revitalizing urban infrastructure and services.
This situation arises following the decision of the Minister of Smart Administration and Regional Development, Raimonds Čudars, who suspended Bartaševičs from his role. The implications of this suspension may affect the future political landscape in Rēzekne and could lead to a shift in focus on accountability within the local leadership, challenging the stability of ongoing development projects and public trust in governance.
