Latvian Political Monitor

@janisdombrava @Uckevics Very, very good. This should have been done long ago!🤝👌

@Braze_Baiba @VL_TBLNNK Thank you, this is important from the standpoint of cooperation with our strategic partner. Foreign affairs has a special role in building this cooperation. We will resolve matters with the Latvian film industry separately.

@DW_Immurs @TontonsB @ktn_rs I agree with you, Dāvis, on this. My ambition and goal was not even sitting in parliament, but rather, through politics, to advance civil-military cooperation and sort out the regulations so that it would finally be put in order. Practical things that would be useful both in storms, floods, and military threat.

@IlzeBo @ktn_rs @Inese_Jolo A very good suggestion. Just as the new intake is being assembled for basic training.

Thank you, Gitanas. It is a victory, but at the same time, it comes with a tremendous responsibility to the people of Latvia to deliver the change they have demanded. We have our hands full making it happen. I greatly value our friendship and the close cooperation between us and our countries. We must stand strong together — as Baltic nations and as 🇪🇺 Eastern Flank countries bordering the aggressor — on security and defence, on cross-border projects such as Rail Baltica and Via Baltica, and in shaping our common position in the negotiations on the next 🇪🇺 budget. Let’s stay strong and support each other in good times and difficult ones. We are Baltic brothers! 🇱🇻🇱🇹

@gidonsaar Thank you for your kind words and support. It is a great responsibility to deliver the change demanded by the Latvian people, and we will deliver! We want to increase cooperation and economic and defense ties with Israel. Looking forward to working together to achieve that.

I think Ms Siliņa is wrong here, because without Defence Minister Melnis the result could have been much worse… https://t.co/X1yIL6eKwe

@lovemurr22 I respect the voters' choice. I will continue my service, serving state security in the National Guard, raise the little ones and be politically active👍 It is worth learning from mistakes, not giving up and whining.

There is no drama here. I have a good relationship with Česlavs, we have discussed education a lot. Mostly on the same wavelength. At the time he was also an excellent principal at the school where the children go, all due respect. What I saw in the budget expenditure review group is a separate topic. The control of how funding is used is below any criticism. And when all ministries buckled down and brought savings, when defense spending needed to be raised to 5%, the Ministry of Education and Science put its feet up on the table and got a free pass. That is not good, not good at all.

Thank you, @ZelenskyyUa . It is important that we have strong governments across NATO’s and the EU’s Eastern Flank, especially in countries bordering the aggressor in the East. This is essential to safeguard our democratic values, strengthen our defence and security, and at the same time carry out the reforms needed to grow our economies. Defence industry cooperation is an area where we must continue building on the strong progress we have already made together with you and 🇺🇦. Support for Ukraine is—and will remain—a priority for Latvia 🇱🇻 and for 🇪🇺. By fighting back against Russia’s occupying forces, Ukraine is not only defending its own freedom and sovereignty—you are helping keep all of Europe safe. We stand with Ukraine. 🇱🇻🤝🇺🇦
