14th Saeima deputies receive 412,107 euros in transport compensations
Deputies of the 14th Saeima have been paid a total of 412,107 euros in transport compensations, according to LTV's investigation.
As the 14th Saeima's current session draws to a close, deputies are about to head into the summer break. This convocation is also nearing its end, as the next parliamentary elections are scheduled for autumn.
Latvia's Television (LTV) conducted a review of the compensations claimed by deputies. The total amount paid for transport expenses stands at 412,107 euros. A detailed breakdown per deputy or party has not been disclosed, but the figure represents a significant sum.
Such compensations are intended to cover travel costs related to the execution of parliamentary duties. The source does not specify which types of transportation are covered.
With the upcoming elections in autumn, the composition of the Saeima will change, and the new convocation may reconsider the compensation policy. No official comments from the Saeima Presidium or relevant committees have been received on this matter so far.
