In a recent appearance on Latvian Television's program 'Today's Question', representatives from coalition parties discussed the government's performance. Among them, Minister of Culture Agnese Lāce, representing the 'Progressives' party, emphasized the importance of transparency in government communications regarding complex projects like the 'Rail Baltica' railway line. Lāce noted that an ongoing audit is focused on fostering transparency and clear communication, especially in light of public concerns about trust in governmental decisions.

Lāce defended her administration's efforts by listing achievements in promoting openness, particularly regarding public perceptions and confidence in government actions. She acknowledged that while building lasting trust is a multifaceted process, clarity about significant and complicated issues like the 'Rail Baltica' project is crucial. This transparency, according to her, is meant to address the public's skepticism about the government's operations and decision-making processes.

However, the minister faced challenges as the program host pointed out that the decision-makers for the 'Rail Baltica' project have often been criticized for unnecessary secrecy. In response to this criticism, Lāce maintained that the Ministry of Transport has been clear and transparent about the project's developments, although the contrasting opinions suggest that public perception may not align with governmental statements, highlighting a gap that the government will need to address to build better trust with the citizens.
