Controversy
In late 2008, Slakteris gave an interview with Bloomberg about Latvia's economic crisis, during which he answered a question regarding the causes of Latvia having come to borrow money from the International Monetary Fund as "nothing special". The phrases "nasing spesal" (mocking Slakteris' poor English and accent during the interview) and "my answer will be, but I will not say" became popular memes in Latvia.
