«The public claim from the prime minister that residents in Latvia sustain entrepreneurs from their taxes is completely false, offensive to entrepreneurs and only serves to divide society. Considering the fact that the state budget primarily receives money from entrepreneurs and their teams, I would like to invite the PM to publicly apologize to all entrepreneurs for this offensive and false claim,» says the president of Latvian Chamber for Commerce and Industry (LTRK) Aigars Rostovskis.
In an interview to LTV programme Rīta panorāma, Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš, commenting on the invitation from the Tourism Crisis Management Committee to dismiss Minister of Finance Jānis Reirs and Minister of Health Daniels Pavļuts, said: «Society cannot continue sustaining entrepreneurship, especially if it is not it high demand.»
After this claim LTRK president said: «This started with beliefs as to where the money comes from. This money does not appear in the state budget out of nowhere – the money comes from entrepreneurship, mostly from companies engaged in exports. Exporting companies sell their goods and services abroad and attract money for the state budget in foreign countries. Companies active on the domestic market create jobs, produce goods and services, and therefore – money. Since money is the product of market relations – if there are no entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship, there is no money to distribute to the state budget and finance state functions.»
