Pēc tam, kad J. Jurašs un J. Bordāns apmeklēja Vašingtonu un tur izlūdzās viņiem politiski nevēlamā Ventspils mēra Aivara Lemberga un Ventspils Brīvostas pārvaldes iekļaušanu sankciju sarakstā, Krišjāņa Kariņa valdība un to balstošā Saeimas koalīcija decembra vidū zibenīgi izdarīja to, ko neviena valdība un neviena koalīcija nebija spējusi pirms tam gadiem ilgi: izslēdza no Rīgas un Ventspils brīvostu valdēm tajās abās deleģētos pašvaldību pārstāvjus.

Līdz šim, lai nodrošinātu ostu darbību vietējo iedzīvotāju interesēs un dotu vēlētājiem virskontroles tiesības pašvaldībās ievēlēto deputātu izskatā, Rīgas un Ventspils brīvostu valdēs pa četriem valdes locekļiem pārstāvēja vietējo pašvaldību, kamēr otri četri — dažādas ministrijas. Steidzamības kārtā likvidējot pašvaldību pārstāvniecību brīvostā, valsts tagad ieguvusi pilnīgu kontroli pār brīvostām.

Par Ventspils brīvostas valdes priekšsēdētāju tagad iecelta Inguna Strautmane, kura kā Satiksmes ministrijas pārstāve jau strādāja valdē kopš 2019. gada februāra, savukārt par viņas vietnieku paaugstināts Ģirts Valdis Kristovskis — tas pats politiķis, kurš atradies ilgstošā finansiālā atkarībā no firmas Ventbunkers, kas ir pakļauta vietējiem mantas arestiem un tagad pat starptautiskajām sankcijām.

Kā zināms, Vienotības vecbiedrs, bijušais ministrs, bijušais Eiropas Parlamenta, Saeimas un Rīgas domes deputāts vēl pirms kandidēšanas uz Ventspils domi noslēdza slepenu līgumu ar Ventbunkeru par 5000 eiro mēnesī saņemšanu. Pietiek jau ziņoja, ka KNAB pat ne pieklājības pēc neesot painteresējies par "konsultācijām", kuras AS Ventbunkers vajadzībām it kā esot sniegusi Ģ. V. Kristovska dibinātā un vadītā firma GVK Consulting. Stingras šaubas pauda bijusī Ventbunkera valdes priekšsēdētāja Eva Ciniņa, kas neredzēja, ka Ģ. V. Kristovskis vispār varētu sniegt kādas naftas produktu pārkraušanā noderīgas zināšanas, kuru jau nebūtu šī 1994. gadā dibinātā uzņēmuma rīcībā.

Pirms 2017. gada pašvaldību vēlēšanām Ģ. V. Kristovskis publiski paziņoja: "Man ir savs konsultāciju uzņēmums, un sadarbojos ar pieciem Latvijas un citu valstu uzņēmumiem." Tikmēr patiesībā, kā tika noskaidrots no privātās sarakstes, šajā laikā Ģ. V. Kristovskis sarakstījās ar R. Meroni, kur cita starpā tika runāts par nepieciešamību apspriest "taktiku Ventspilī" pirms vēlēšanām.

Uz žurnālistu jautājumiem Ģ. V. Kristovskis atbildējis šādi: "Es esmu tādā vecumā, ka varu sniegt konsultācijas, kam gribu. Galvenais, lai kāds maksā." Uz jautājumu par pazīšanos ar Rūdolfu Meroni saņemtā atbilde bija: "... es nonācu ar viņu kontaktā tāpēc, ka [...] vajag naudu. [...] Jārunā ar uzņēmumiem, kuri ir Ventspilī uz vietas; kuriem ir kaut kāda nauda, teiksim tā."

Rakstiski Ģ. V. Kristovskis vēl papildinājis: "Manu biznesa konsultāciju pamats ir mana dzīves profesionālā pieredze, speciālā un plašā izglītība, mans talants un spējas, arī darba rezultāti un reputācija."

Tātad šobrīd Ģ. V. Kristovskis, būdams ilgstošā finansiālā saistībā ar vienu no sankcijām un mantas arestiem pakļautajiem uzņēmumiem, ir paaugstināts par valdes priekšsēdētājas vietnieku valsts institūcijā, kas cita starpā uzrauga minētā uzņēmuma darbību, iznomājot tam valstij piederošo zemi un uzturot ostas infrastruktūru darba kārtībā.

Šodien Pietiek ekskluzīvi publicē līguma projektu par “konsultēšanu”, kas parāda saiknes starp R. Meroni un Ģ. V. Kristovska kontrolētām firmām un datēts ar 2016. gada 16. maiju.
