The joint-stock "Hansabanka" expresses its indignation over the situation in connection with the "Sun Stone" (Saules akmens) high-rise business complex under construction in Riga, according to a statement released by the bank's board chairwoman Ingrida Bluma today.
Debate around the construction of the edifice have reached the level of political disputes and are hardly connected to construction matters, disregarding what the complex would give Rigans and the nation overall, Blume points out.
"Hansabanka" calls on state and municipal institutions to take responsibility for decisions they have made, without raising doubt about Latvia as a nation that is safe for investments.
The statement points out that officials have diametrically contradicting interpretations about legal enactments, and they have even expressed their readiness to revoke permits for construction which have been legally issued. The bank considers such a situation inadmissible.
Developments in past days prove that the issue of construction of the edifice is being utilized to manipulate the division of political spheres of influence, in order to carry out political schemes, the statement states.
"Hansabanka" categorically objects to distorting the business environment and getting involved in political intrigue. The bank calls on all political powers and officials to assume responsibility for their decisions and resolve the situation constructively.
As reported, "Hansabanka's" central offices will be located in the "Sun Stone" complex.
