Careful with that Bolshevism. Irresponsibility is one ditch, popular and disgusting, I must say, but putting everyone in prison and to a lynching court - not better.

Heads, however, must roll and there must be punishment for negligence that has resulted in serious consequences. Otherwise, no one sitting on a board, council, or ordinary commission will come to their senses. Such a trial must exist and real imprisonment must exist. Otherwise, this is not a rule-of-law state, but a brothel.

DAY No. 68 in the prime minister's chair — Dombrava's imitated MIGRANT struggle @VL_TBLNNK hysteria about immigration sometimes looks like a spoiled kindergartener. Here is everything you need to know about @janisdombrava's 'theater battle' with immigration. 🎭 Apparently Dombrava is not interested in a real result in restricting migration, but in loud and pointless shouting. It is a pity that their own voters are fooled in this way. Interior Minister Dombrava apparently still has not understood what it means to be a minister and how work happens in the Cabinet of Ministers. I would suggest his more experienced NA colleagues — @KasparsGerhards, @IIndriksone or Mūrniece — explain what it means to prepare and submit an informative report (IZ) to the government. ❓ How do Dombrava and NA even imagine pushing a FULLY UNSYNCHRONIZED issue to a government meeting? Just because they felt like it? 📸 The screenshot from the MK TAP portal shows everything as clear as day: ➡️ Dombrava's informative report was submitted on Monday, 31 August, at 12:59 — only about 1.5 hours before the coalition meeting; ➡️ the document is completely unsynchronized with 14 institutions — not with the Ministry of Justice, Finance, Economy, Foreign Affairs, Welfare, Environmental Protection and Regional Development, Health, the State Chancellery, @darbadeveji, @LTRK_uznemeji, etc. Simply coming in, throwing a document into the government and then announcing that 'everyone is against fighting immigration' is dull, cheap and populist voter fishing with no basis. 🤝 At the coalition meeting we all agreed that the document must be coordinated, and this Friday a special political meeting is being organized to agree on its content point by point. Apparently even that seems superfluous to Dombrava, if noise is more important than results. ⚠️ And the objections are not formal — they are very substantial. For example, Dombrava suddenly imagined suing TWO European Commission commissioners and proposing amendments to an EU directive. The Foreign Ministry has significant objections to that. The interior minister cannot simply bypass all Cabinet working procedures, throw a document unsynchronized with anyone into the government and demand an immediate decision. Many ministers had not even had time to familiarize themselves with the document today. 📌 Moreover, there is no talk of some 'stuck coordination'. There has not even been a normal coordination cycle! The document must first be prepared properly, go through coordination and be brought to a government decision. Only then can one say that someone is blocking it. Dombrava simply did not do his homework. The facts are simple: 1️⃣ A project can be submitted to the government agenda if it is submitted by Wednesday evening. This project was already submitted on Monday, 31 August, at 12:59, shortly before the coalition meeting. 2️⃣ After clarifying the project, it was not sent to ministries for a repeated opinion. 3️⃣ The argument about delay does not hold up — the report has had almost three months since the beginning of June to be prepared. 🎯 If we really want to restrict illegal migration, we need results, prepared decisions and professional work, not loud slogans and political theater.

They don't need to understand; such calls are a classic Bolshevik approach. Smash, fundamentally change the rules and start living a 'new, happy life'.

When on @LTV1 Partija fokusā MMN someone says that with a general purge in the state administration the positions of managers and their deputies will have to be eliminated, then I have to ask how much someone there not only knows, but UNDERSTANDS, both the meaning of those positions, the reasons why there are many, and how many functions each mentioned state institution consists of….

I have a concrete proposal regarding the CSDD data leak. No compensation is needed, nor are forms and bureaucratic red tape. What is needed is to provide individuals with a single 'button' on the latvija.lv portal. It would be called - I want to change my personal code. Then you are informed where you can receive all related documents for free. Passport, eID, etc. The state has all the registries and knows the types of documents.

After the CSDD data leak, the directorate has received around 2,000 incident-related submissions, including compensation claims. Ready-made submission templates have also been circulated on social media. CSDD, however, urges not to rush to demand compensation and to wait for the results of the Data State Inspectorate's investigation. Meanwhile, people are currently making little use of the opportunity to change, for example, car license plates after the incident. 🖥️ https://t.co/GnHdujV0Zt

🎓 Patriotism, continuous growth and perseverance – three values I wish every young lawyer to take with them! Addressing the graduates of the master's program at the University of Latvia's Faculty of Law, I also returned to the place where my own journey as a lawyer once began. Today, the legal profession is rapidly changing due to technology and artificial intelligence. That is why lawyers must be even smarter, more creative and more humane, while maintaining a firm foundation of values and a readiness to defend Latvia. At the Ministry of Justice, we are also working to make the path to professional growth for young lawyers faster and clearer – both in the bar and in the courts. I wish that in ten, twenty or thirty years, the names of today's graduates will also be among Latvia's most outstanding personalities. Good luck! 🎓🇱🇻

Business organizations have always been a good partner for the Ministry of Finance and the government as a whole. Today a discussion with @LTRK_uznemeji on budget issues. The business community's call not to create ever new expenditures for the state during the pre-election period is important. https://t.co/FVf4uCHfXG

Total nonsense and drivel @JaunsLV, you do understand that, right? How can you put together the prime minister's work on weekends with search operations on the other side of the world? Colleagues, I call on you to apologize to @AndrisKulbergs for this and let's forget it. https://t.co/1cHWvaOxvD

People outraged: while missing Latvians are being searched for in Nepal, the prime minister quietly went to Pärnu https://t.co/r8L3K92NLJ

The proximity of Vielieši does not have a very positive effect on politicians' ability to cooperate constructively. 🤔

How does collective stupidity work? Now and then. Unchanged. Back then it was like this. Once the Police Academy was liquidated. As a result, investigators no longer received further education in pre-trial investigation on current challenges. The State Audit Office warned for years - Latvia's pre-trial investigation is being sunk by investigators' lack of professional qualifications and practical skills. Then came informative reports, the Kariņš government listened to recommendations, added prosecutors' wishes and created ... actually another legal education program, starting with ancient Greek philosophers and going through a full jurisprudence course. The state made a program called 'Pre-trial Investigation'. What does it teach? Philosophy of law and sociology. History of Latvian law. Constitutional law. Private law. Commercial law. Resolution of private law disputes. International and EU law. Nothing that addresses the problems the course was created for. Then, amid the construction cartel winds, they added that a training building worth 20 million must be built from non-existent money. As a result of institutional stupidity, they created a product, a course that did not solve the initial goal. Neither do investigators have time to attend a full master's program during working hours, nor does it solve the initial problem. Of 15 students, only 2 graduated. Now? Now they are advancing the Sports Fund. The initial idea was to attract private money to sports. Nice! Now? The initial idea has long disappeared. The idea in the Saeima has transformed away from the goal (there will be no private money), away from any sense. There was also such a point - to give money to sports so that they don't ask every year from funds for unforeseen circumstances (LNG). That too has disappeared. In fact, professional sports funding will come under the Olympic Committee. The fat cats will get more money, but grassroots and youth sports remain out in the cold. Meanwhile, requests from LNG to fund various bridges have not disappeared, they come to the Finance Ministry every week. I've long wanted to vomit. The Sports Fund freak continues its progress in the Saeima. Institutional stupidity.

@Lato_Lapsa @Apvienotais_ This is my absolutely personal opinion, Lato! Thieves should sit in prison regardless of party affiliation, and in this case a very simple court process has been dragging on for the seventh year…

If you needed one more confirmation before the elections that @Apvienotais_ is a disguised communist plague and the cancer of Unity.

@andrislov No, in this case it could be done precisely with a conviction. As a journalist, I once investigated this case and there is no alternative…

“Cancel before the elections.” “You can also put a Saeima deputy in jail.” And a court is supposedly not needed, it is enough that “we know”. Restrict. Isolate. Arrest. Lynch. Without a verdict. Without evidence. Without defense. Only with the right feeling that the opponent must be taken off the field before it is too late. That is not state thinking, it is the immortal communist party that has still not disappeared.

It's a pity that the court lacks state thinking, because there was a chance to cancel Brēmanis before the elections. Well, nothing, they can also imprison a Saeima deputy...

Reminder about the previous affair of @Lab_min led by @ZZS_ @reinisuzulnieks - millions for an information campaign, not for families raising children. The current affair - 7.75 million for courses, not for support for disabled people and their caregivers. https://t.co/N4iwLYfoiu

🇱🇻 Illegal tunnels from Belarus into Europe are being dug with the full support of the Belarusian special services. Latvian border guards have already discovered two underground passages from Belarus in August. Through the latest one, 28 illegal migrants from Africa and the Middle East entered Latvia at once. The tunnel is at least 30 meters long, about 80 cm high and wide, with wooden supports and a plywood cover. About 28 cubic meters of soil had to be removed during construction. According to the Latvian special services, work of this scale on the border cannot take place without the involvement of the Belarusian special services. Moreover, Latvian border guards said that on the Belarusian side they monitor Latvian patrols and warn illegal migrants of their approach.

The historical rupture is finally recorded: you cannot shoot thousands of peaceful people, destroy cities to the ground, and then impose 'brotherhood'. Kinship is not built on tanks and terrorist attacks. The imaginary myth of a 'single people' is finally buried under the rubble of Ukrainian cities.

Look at what a dumpster these migrant importers @Jauna_Vienotiba and @progresivie are trying to turn Latvia into. Riga is no better, today I drove through Teika and Grīziņkalns, from every second or third gateway some imported one is slithering out, and some kind of trash literally pours from them, walking around grumbling, scattering, spitting.

@runasvirs @Apvienotais_ I would recommend checking the news date... 2023.

@AndrisKulbergs @Apvienotais_ Corruption, mysterious bonuses and premiums, impotence of some institutions, the inflated number of civil servants, etc. As far as I understand, has that been resolved?
