Guilt and LVŽS
Last May, the mayor of Vilnius, Remigijus Šimašius, announced that the then Union of Peasants and Greens of Lithuania had killed the national stadium. The mayor reached this conclusion after receiving a letter from the Public Procurement Office (VPN) ordering the municipality to rescind the 156 million. Tender in euros for the construction and concession of the National Stadium.
In March, the VPN did not allow the signing of the concession contract, the signature was suspended at the request of the Financial Crimes Service (FNTT) and the Attorney General’s Office. Law enforcement agencies sought to determine whether the increase in the value of the concession after the negotiations was reasonable and lawful.
And in May, the VPN announced that the concession contract had to separate state and municipal risks, but all risks changed after the change in the project’s financing model, so the contracts envisaged with Axis industries cannot be considered a concession contract.
This was the beginning of the story in the courts – in the ordinary history of the courts, because up to that point the courts had decided whether the winner of this project had been legally chosen, this was denounced by another company that participated in the contest.
P. Poderskis believes in the project
Povilas Poderskis, director of the Vilnius municipality administration, told News Radio on Wednesday that the amount of funds provided for the stadium is not the highest and corresponds to the price of such stadiums.
“It may be the last in Lithuania, still waiting for that project, but I still am. Because when we started working, we also considered, looked at that project, asked the same questions that its critics are now asking. And we decided it was a good project. and needed support.
There were two lengthy trials, there were many negotiations, all kinds of political attempts on that project, there was government interference. Even joking that the architects of this project were flying partners in London and their plane had to land in Warsaw, there were some kind of glitches here because they were flying on stadium business. Building a stadium there is something of a curse, “said P. Poderskis on Knowledge Radio.
According to him, there are many doubts about the amount, its components, but if the court says that the VPN was wrong, the municipality will be able to sign a contract and the stadium will be.
