@tv24_lv Bureaucracy can be reduced by doing! The commission I lead this year made changes to several laws, actually reducing bureaucracy, especially in construction. This week the commission heard Endziņš. And it turns out that in half a year @AndrisKulbergs has not met with him even once! More work and fewer speeches!
“I want to weed out bureaucracy, but I cannot do it alone. In my daily Cabinet of Ministers meetings my eyelids twitch and I want to cry, these meetings kill me, there is so much pollution with bureaucracy,” the Prime Minister @AndrisKulbergs@Apvienotais_, a candidate for the 15th Saeima deputy seat, said on TV24 program “Let’s speak openly!”

Comrade Stepaņenko is, of course, a mud-slinger. However, the Ministry of Justice has NEVER, in any connection, been troubled by the declarations of a single official. That the gloomy Eddy now resorts to such methods once again confirms—the United List is the same cancer as Unity. Remember that at the elections—or don't be surprised.
A candidate for the office of Prime Minister of Latvia must not have hundreds of thousands of euros of unclear origin from Russia.
Jūlija Stepaņenko has declared monetary and real estate donations from her father living in Russia worth 419,598.05 euros, but refuses to explain the origin of the funds.
Therefore, I have turned to KNAB, VDD, SAB, and FID, calling for verification of the origin of the funds, possible foreign influence, and whether the money was used to finance party activities or pre-election campaigning. If funding from Russia has been indirectly channeled to the party, there is also grounds to consider possible criminal liability.
A person who aspires to lead the Latvian government must provide the public with clear and verifiable answers. Latvia's political independence and national security are not a private matter. There must be no unanswered questions here.

An energy price storm is approaching. This is evidenced by rising gas prices on world exchanges. Soon there will be questions - why is electricity expensive? The answer is simple - Latvia is waiting for a lucky bear rather than learning from others how to reduce electricity prices.
While other European countries build wind parks to stabilize prices, Latvia's government rejects plans and produces bureaucratic procedures to impede their construction.
Lithuania has facilitated billions in investments in wind energy development, which have brought GDP growth and energy security. In Latvia, an active minority has been given free rein, which blocks development and invents ever new reasons why EIA is bad, spatial plans are wrong, etc., etc. Some municipalities have followed this minority.
All this despite the fact that municipalities receive money for each installed turbine. The same municipalities then also ask the government for money for financial equalization and various projects. Apparently it is easier to lobby for additional funds in Riga than to think about regional development.
Some political parties (NA and AS) also see their political future in this minority. That is a path to expensive electricity and backwardness.
Changes in how we generate electricity require years of work, a pile of expert opinions and billions of investments. Investors are ready to invest, and the state must give them the opportunity to do so, in order to reduce electricity prices in the name of society's common interests.
‼️I am disappointed in @AndrisKulbergs. Almost not a single scrap of documents that the public has the right to read has been handed over. I hope that Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga's conversation with Putin in the Austrian Alps will soon be published. The deadline is approaching. But overall there is a huge amount of unpublished🤯 https://t.co/FJqgsTKOLI
Is it really unclear to someone? You will vote in the elections for the nice Kulbergs and the United List - and you will have voted for the same Unity cancer. https://t.co/A5Pce3Lc55
Can't make it in time. That is how the prime minister responds to all calls to liquidate ministries and institutions. KEM and SIF continue their work. But at tomorrow's Cabinet meeting, the prime minister's party colleague Tavars has submitted a question about establishing a new institution (Latvian National Botanical Garden, 99 posts; the State Chancellery and the Ministry of Finance do not agree) already from October 1 of this year!!! Why such enormous haste, and are there hidden political interests here?
The botanical garden existed as a separate institution until the end of 2025. A competition for the post of director of LNBD had even been announced. The selection committee recommended two candidates to the then Minister of VARAM Čudars (JV). One of them was a member of Kulbergs's party, Saeima deputy A. Svilāns. Čudars decided to end the competition without a result and liquidated LNBD. The functions were transferred to the Nature Conservation Agency. A lot of money and resources were spent in the liquidation process. But 9 months later, the next minister Tavars does the exact opposite. Where is the logic?
Perhaps the haste is related to the fact that Mr. Svilāns again wants to become director of LNBD.

One thing is clear here - @AndrisKulbergs is definitely not to blame :)) But the main point here is still about SOME KIND of responsibility - if back then in Latvenergo's shitty 3 million case they could set up a whole parliamentary investigation committee, then it is a justified question - what are @MeistersArmins and @prokuratura_LV doing in the airBaltic case - are these hundreds of millions from the state budget really COMPLETELY OK? SERIOUSLY?? There are like n-th episodes of shareholder deception, cmon...
