On November 18, the sun "Sun Life" cost 100,000 euros more than what has been announced so far. It turns out that in the absence of 285,000 euros of purchase for the project, there have been others, smaller purchases that went unnoticed in the media. Riga City Council rejects the conviction of the true cost of negligence, noting that no one has asked.
A 100-year-old fireworks or musical light show, "The Life of Sun", is considered the culmination of the celebrations: 110,000 people watched it alone and more than half a century ago. million on television screens.
During the fireworks, being on the spot, in a hustle and bustle, we could not hear the words spoken by other people, and more than once, they spoke – "285,000 for they must be something big. "
Those who did not know it did not know that the publicly announced amount of 235,000 euros, without VAT or 285,000 euros, was not at all a cost of fireworks.
It turned out that the purchase of $ 285,000, announced by journalists on the Procurement Control Office website, concerned only the implementation of the project. A € 48,000 contract was also signed for the production of the artistic concept of the show, while € 37,000 was paid to the musicians.
Since the sum of the last two contracts is too small for the law to be published on the website of the Procurement Control Office, the media ignored the fact that the total cost of transmitting the light was not 285,000 but 370,000 euros. On the occasion of the centenary of the Latvian Office, for this difference, calls to meet with the Riga City Council
"The organizers have organized this event, and the organizers should ask what estimates or costs – the distribution of the budget," said Linda Pavluta, responsible for the century of Latvian nationality.
Already reported that 200,000 euros were allocated by the state budget show is true. The funding part of the Riga City Council differs – not EUR 85 000, but EUR 170 000.
Although the incomplete information in the media has been wandering for a month already, the Riga City Council, which, incidentally, reports fairly quickly the mistakes made by journalists, does not consider it necessary to intervene for the moment.
"The media has published some of these costs, and they have not been mistaken, not knowing that there are others and that everyone is perceived as a whole," Indra said. Vilde, representative of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports of Riga City Council.
She pointed out that the press conference was an event, but "we answered all the questions asked by the media" and no one asked for any other costs.
When asked if they did not seem to say that it was not the right amount, Vilde replied that it was not wrong.
The municipality also points out that less expensive purchases that are not listed on the Procurement Control Office website can be found on the Riga City Council website.
When asked why the municipality itself had not disseminated information on the actual cost of light transmission, the Riga City Council explained that the advertisements made it more important for the public to explain the essence of the performance.
