@EvijaUnama And what did you expect from a CPSU member until 1991? Self-criticism?
From@EvijaUnamaFantastic. The chairman of the CSDD board does not consider this incident a reason for him to resign. He does not see his guilt. 🤔

The guys from CSDD probably don't even really understand what a mess they've made. One thing is the possible use of data for fraud, but another is the loss of trust. Many people will now at least for a while cancel these emails from institutions without even opening them.
@AivarsOzo @AndrisKulbergs That's also why for everyone else, if something is still 'unclear', I put this link: https://t.co/kPQAhON1DZ
From@AivarsOzo@jureits @AndrisKulbergs Very good that you will not be there! But Kulbergs has answered vaguely: 'Kulbergs (AS) currently does not rule out cooperation with the opposition party LPV after the 15th Saeima elections.' 'Kulbergs (...) admitted that he positively evaluates LPV chairman Ainārs Šlesers.' https://t.co/QYnOjZEiRU

From@p_polikarpovsEvil Unity probably has a shortage of personnel, if they need to put on posters two out of three people who aren't even candidates. https://t.co/OvRkKee9l6

From@edgarsrinkevicsThe cyber attack on the Road Traffic Safety Directorate's information systems and the massive data leak is a significant national security threat. The reputation of CSDD and public trust in this institution has been damaged. Under these circumstances, the CSDD leadership must not continue its work.

Are CSDD leaders already quietly and shyly writing their resignations, or not? A similar incident at LVM, in my opinion, also ended without consequences for the guilty. Who needs these boards and councils if no one ever answers for anything?
🇱🇻🇺🇸 Latvia and the US strengthen cooperation in creating an investment-friendly environment We met with the US Ambassador to Latvia, Melisa Argirosa, to strengthen mutual cooperation, creating a safer legal environment, more effectively combating cross-border crime, and protecting investments. Latvia-US cooperation in the justice sector is a success story that has already yielded concrete results. Latvia has the experience and knowledge to be not only a recipient of support but also a strong partner for the US in combating cross-border crime and strengthening common security. Currently, new challenges are also in our focus: ➡️ sanctions evasion and financial crimes; ➡️ crimes related to crypto assets; ➡️ organized and cross-border crime; ➡️ election security and cyber threats; ➡️ investment protection and a more efficient judicial system. ⚖️ At the Ministry of Justice, we are working towards faster, higher-quality, and more predictable justice, including modernizing courts and digitalizing processes. This is not only a justice issue – it is also strengthening Latvia's business environment and investment attractiveness. I agree with the Ambassador that Latvia has many entrepreneur success stories and good examples, and we need to talk about them and highlight them more! Latvia has something to offer US investors. Our task is to make them see Latvia as a safe, stable, and predictable place to invest and develop businesses. 🇱🇻🇺🇸
From@Gerashchenko_enSpecialists from Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces found that most Russian soldiers captured by Ukrainian Forces in Zaporizhzhia region have their military ID numbers tattooed on their bodies. They are forcibly marked upon arrival at a training ground. Such tattoos are reportedly given to soldiers assigned to 'meat assaults' sent to slaughter. Since Russian commanders understand that these soldiers will die shortly after being sent into combat, no one spends time or resources issuing them metal ID tags. Most POWs said that during their service, they faced forced deployments to assault positions while wounded, threats to 'zero them out' if they refused, as well as 'flag-planting' missions - attempts to raise a Russian flag in the territory controlled by Ukraine’s Defense Forces. The majority of these Russian servicemen were captured between 10 days and one month after signing their contracts. The pattern has been observed in Russia’s 36th, 37th, 38th, and 39th motorized rifle brigades; 5th tank brigade; and the 70th, 114th, and 135th motorized rifle regiments. For Russian soldiers, such a mark is a death sentence. The only way to escape it and survive is to flee immediately or surrender to Ukraine’s Defense Forces.

I can tell @AivarsOzo and others from my side that I will never be in a coalition with the representatives of the “Kopā” party. And here @AndrisKulbergs has also already clearly answered: https://t.co/kPQAhOMtOr You don't hear anymore or don't want to hear? https://t.co/5xpYL6oWBE
From@AivarsOzoWell, look, AS, LPV and NA “right-centrist” post-election team will have one professional less. Podkolzins is experienced and competent in “security”, but also in aviation matters. Moreover, he has traditional Kremlin family values of Šlesers and Bartaševičs. 1/3

@AivarsOzo Here @AndrisKulbergs has said everything quite clearly. Why aren't you listening? https://t.co/kPQAhOMtOr

From@markomihkelsonRussia will attack NATO next month, really? Don’t fool yourself. Russia is already attacking the EU and NATO - and has been for years, from within.

From@poznaksI am afraid that the elections will end with a government of Ainārs and Jūlija. Therefore, no matter what conservatives or liberals each of us are. Enough fighting each other. If we can agree that the Kremlin is an aggressor and a threat. We will handle the rest. Unless we only want to watch Ainārs and Jūlija.

Why not? And what is it? https://t.co/pNex1j5q9U If 'the lobby wasn't done in time', then it is 'bad'. You cannot dismiss state affairs with lobbies. There must be logic, clear justification, and error in lobbying.
From@reegiitaa@jureits @LVceli @skreine .. but here in the title itself is TEN-T and TEN-T network does not include a highway to Latgale. TEN-T gives priority to financing and, yes, the lobby wasn't done in time for it to be included.

Nuclear power plants need very large initial investments, and the biggest cost increase is for political reasons. Large delays in deliberation processes are very common. Money is spent, interest keeps running, but there is no income. Once it is launched, only pluses follow. 60, but in reality 100 years. So it is worth it. Arabs don't get carried away with meetings, they build without delay, and there is only the positive side. Europe used to be like that too. And then the culture of deliberation, or meetings, arrived. That is the difference.
From@gdavidsons@guntarsv I would like to see what would happen once it acquired more concrete form somewhere by the sea. Such a "cultural canon landscape" would really be something else. Besides, nuclear power seems an expensive venture if it is only 1 and provides stability more weakly than gas (currently, say in Romania it doesn't work).

From@Apvienotais_🎥 Why is vocational education important for Latvia's economy? Juris Viļums in conversation with United List's Riga electoral district candidate Jānis Nipers on one of the most important issues for Latvia's growth – vocational education and specialists capable of working with new and modern technologies. For the economy to grow, Latvia needs not only investments and ideas, but also people with knowledge and skills to implement them. That is why vocational education must be developed and adapted to what the labour market will need tomorrow. 🇱🇻 Latvia – we have a solution! in October – list No. 7. #APVIENOTAISSARAKSTS #MumsIrRisinājums #KulbergsIrRisinājums #LatvijaMumsIrRisinājums #RīgaMumsIrRisinājums #7Saraksts #SaeimasVēlēšanas2026

The fifth year of the war is underway, and every day Ukraine's peaceful civilians perish. Meanwhile, a full bus of Latvia's peaceful civilians still goes without problems to their Führer.
And what about the roads to Latgale??? @LVceli? Already cutting back a bit? 🤔 Thanks @skreine for the meeting https://t.co/d7n3glyDpk
From@LVceli🟡The busiest national main roads need to be rebuilt as high-speed roads, promoting safer and more comfortable traffic. Currently, the procurement for the Bauska bypass PPP project is underway. For other development projects, funding is not yet available. https://t.co/06DavdZLGg
