In the Rail Baltica project, the government has demanded to reduce the scope and costs of the Latvian section...» 0 91

Kulbergs expects that the government will not be like a typical student who leaves everything to the last night.

@mansviedoklis1 @AndrisKulbergs @ivchix The Prime Minister got confused, humanly forgivable, given the workload that most of us could hardly handle. Including me. But politics is an arena for mockery, it comes with the office, so now go ahead and sneer😏

In ministry employee salaries, one can allegedly find savings of 2 billion… Is that really true or did Kulberg misspeak?

@nezinu46 @AndrisKulbergs @ivchix In the ministries work about 3500 people, more precisely 3700. The salary budget is around 140 million per year, average gross salary 2.5k.

Society is taught to rely on facts, but populists show that one can be successful by ignoring facts. Facts are not needed to become prime minister and move towards victory in elections. So many numbers are being manipulated that it will be difficult to refute them all. That is a method which, as can be seen, is successful.

Everyone, of course, can misspeak or make a mistake with a number, but Kulbergs 2x during the debates, even when specifically asked, and then still claims here that 3500 ministry employees cost 2 billion. Thus showing his “very precise calculations”. That is no longer just incompetence, it's even worse :)

How to evaluate the 100 days of the Kulberg government? What is Andris Šuvajevs worried about? How expensive is keeping airBaltic in the air? These and other questions are discussed by "Ir" colleagues Ieva Jakone, @AivarsOzo and @raudseps. 🔗 https://t.co/3uMOLy6Vlv https://t.co/0IeEBUPy5C

To clarify. The 1.9 billion is the compensation amount that includes defense (soldiers, national guards), as well as internal affairs (police, border guard, State Fire and Rescue Service), justice, and part of health (e.g., Emergency Medical Service). About 60% of this amount goes to security and order sectors, not to bureaucrats in offices. There are about 12 thousand bureaucrats.

What, please? 3500 employees - 2 billion costs?🤡 Maybe someone in the prime minister's family could take away his Twitter? https://t.co/4ohJ8BLuMg

Dombrovskis suggests that by 2030 the EU could have new member states.

An emergency government meeting will be held on 'airBaltic'

Re:Check verifies: what did parties fulfill in the social sphere from what was promised before the previous Saeima elections?

Welcome!

The Ministry of Health promised that no regional hospital would see its total funding reduced, and the essence of the document adopted by the government is completely different from how regional hospitals have perceived it, says Edgars Tavars.

@BrencisA @JolantaKublins1 in their 100 days they did what they promised - Istanbul, partnerships, etc. Also the budget - I sharply criticized that. Kulbergs not only hasn't done anything. It's clear he doesn't even know how to start doing something. He floats with the current and just chatters.
