He asked whether its supporters had accomplished anything good, claiming that their actions had left devastation and chaos. As examples, he mentioned the Briškena bridge, a bicycle bridge that he characterized as aimless, a newly constructed abandoned train station building, the state of Riga under Marta's leadership, and Staķis' posts.
