The JV Saeima faction of Latvia has emphasized the necessity for transparency in the Rail Baltica project during a meeting with the Transport Minister, Aitis Švinks. Edmunds Jurēvics, the leader of the faction, highlighted that the Rail Baltica initiative is crucial not only for mobility but also for safety aspects in Latvia. He noted that even prior to Švinks assuming his ministerial role, the faction had insisted on the importance of transparent implementation, cost review, and clear communication to the public regarding the project's developments.

Jurēvics stated that during the discussions, there was a consensus that the primary focus should be on constructing the core Rail Baltica route, rather than engaging in political maneuvering around the project. He pointed out that certain populist forces may attempt to undermine the necessity of the Rail Baltica initiative. The consensus from the meeting reinforces that the project serves both the economic and security interests of Latvia, indicating strong bipartisan support for its completion.

The emphasis on clarity and accountability in project implementation aligns with broader European Union standards for major infrastructure investments, which often stress the importance of public involvement and transparency. As the project progresses, the Latvian government and stakeholders will need to navigate political implications while ensuring that the economic benefits and safety enhancements associated with Rail Baltica are communicated effectively to the public.
