Politicians are like cats, they cr@p, then they do the best to bury it.
I think most of this is posturing & deflecting attention by scumbags (I.E politicians) who prefer media attention on airBaltic rather than their own indiscretions/cock-ups.
I don't think Herr Flick is an angel, but neither is he a fool.
All will come out in the wash, but my feeling is that this is just the usual politics expected when a company is 52% state owned, and elections, combined with settling of old scores, are on the current menu.
Q - how do you know a politician is lying ?
A -when you see his lips moving
Is probably more than fair.
