Here is a legal aspect - when dismissing, there must immediately be someone who is allowed to sign papers, to answer for the company's operations. A temporary council must be installed so that it can legitimately appoint a temporary board = that's elementary logic, after all. Competitions for permanent positions will be held for all posts without delay. This is temporary, so that operations do not stop. That the whole system is rotten has long been clear, but to change it takes time, in the meantime we must act in accordance with existing legislation.

Today is 35 years since Latvia regained independence... here is my speech delivered today in the Saeima on the occasion of the event: “The Latvian state is the foundation of our people's security and well-being, of our nation's development, of the Latvian language and culture. But the state is not a service that someone guarantees to us. Alongside our many everyday roles, we are first and foremost citizens of Latvia. Not only with rights. Each of us has duties to our state. A soldier defends the state with his readiness to sacrifice his life in the name of the state's freedom. A teacher – by passing on his knowledge to the next generation. Medics – by saving people's lives. Entrepreneurs – by honestly paying taxes and developing Latvia's economy. Farmers – by tending our fathers' land and ensuring food security. Parents – by raising children as patriots of our state.”

💶 EUR 26.8 million – money that could potentially go toward the public good. Latvian banks currently hold more than 39,000 long-unused accounts containing a total of approximately EUR 26.8 million. The Saeima has supported in the second reading a clear procedure for how to handle these funds. A client will have 5 years to apply and receive their money. If it is not claimed, the funds will come under state control. This procedure will not apply to Latvian residents, nor to frozen funds, funds seized in criminal proceedings, or funds subject to collection. When this money comes under state control, it must be used meaningfully and in the interests of the whole public! Children are our present and also our future. That is why I propose directing it to the creation of a Safe House for Children and Youth. ℹ️ The bill still needs the Saeima's final approval.

This is important. Otherwise Latgale's court would have had a serious overload.

August 21, 1991 is one of the most significant dates in the history of our nation and state. Today marks exactly 35 years since Latvia's de facto independence was restored. I congratulate you on this significant holiday! For Latvia, for our country!🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻️ https://t.co/7z6J7Oc1oW

🇱🇻 21 August – Day of Restoration of Latvia's Statehood. Today we lay flowers at the Freedom Monument, honouring the people who 35 years ago took responsibility for Latvia's future and restored our state independence. On 21 August 1991, Latvia strengthened its independence not only with courage but also with a legal decision – the Supreme Council adopted the constitutional law “On the Statehood of the Republic of Latvia”, completing the de facto restoration of independence. This is also important today – Latvia's statehood is based on law, democracy and the rule of law. 🇱🇻 And it is our duty to protect it! Long live Latvia!

Russia is a thieves' regime that also rapes and kills children. If in your view that is a good price to keep businesses alive, then we don't need such businesses.

🧑🏼‍⚖️ Immigration-related cases will now be able to be distributed more evenly among courts throughout Latvia. ✅ The Saeima has adopted in the final reading amendments to the Immigration Law that will allow cases related to detained foreigners to be distributed more evenly among district courts throughout Latvia. Until now, these cases were largely concentrated in the Latgale District Court, creating a disproportionate additional burden. At the Saeima's out-of-town sitting in Latgale, we heard this problem very clearly from court representatives. We did not put this issue aside – we acted, and today the solution has been adopted. This means we will be able to use the capacity of the court system more wisely – if the volume of work increases significantly in one region, part of the cases can be redirected to courts where resources are available. This will help reduce the workload of one court and ensure more timely consideration of other cases as well. 💻 Importantly, the hearing of cases will be possible remotely using video conferencing, so transferring a case to another Latvian court will not require the physical transfer of the detained person to that court, and thus will not create expenses related to bringing the person to court. At the same time, court control, the grounds for detention, and the procedural guarantees of the person remain unchanged. Only the procedure for case distribution changes – so that the court system throughout Latvia can work more efficiently and resiliently. The court system must be sufficiently flexible to use resources where they are most needed at any given moment!

Good morning everyone from @ltvpanorama Morning News. Tune in right now for CSDD, AirBaltic, state-owned companies 'Corporate Governance' and more. https://t.co/EQQajxwdIv

That about the food is also in other countries. For example, in the UK, hot chicken is sold with VAT (because it is food as in a restaurant), but cold chicken is not subject to VAT (because it is food). And there are even lawsuits about this, a million-dollar industry for lawyers. And that is not nonsense, but a consequence of introducing different regulations for different groups, resulting in all sorts of oddities. About those cash registers, for instance. Well, they are needed everywhere, but there are exemptions for artisans. But a step left or right, and you still need a cash register. And it looks absurd.

@IvoButkevics Did you yourself understand what you wrote? 🤔😊 I got lost.
