Latvian Political Monitor

🇱🇻 I see that the public is anxious while following international news. I want to reassure - there is no reason for panic!! We take the security situation seriously. 🇵🇱 The Polish Prime Minister has published an intelligence risk assessment on possible Russian actions in the coming months. However, it is not a statement about a specific or imminent attack on Poland, Latvia, or any other NATO country. 📢 You know that I communicate openly, also about negative facts. But right now there is no reason for concern. 🤝 I am in constant contact with the services. This week I also met with EU leaders who attended the Arctic Summit. ✅ Currently there is no information indicating a particularly high level of threat. I can confirm that Russia is not ready for war and is not capable of a conventional attack. 🛡️ NATO support is stronger than ever. Our border guard and services are vigilant – a number of operations are underway on the border, military exercises are taking place, and German fighters will additionally patrol the airspace during elections. However, we must remain vigilant. Our society is well informed about threats and knows our eastern neighbor well. Of course, the Russian election context intensifies the volume of disinformation and propaganda. 🔍 I am carefully following the situation, meeting with the services, and speaking with both Ukrainian and EU leaders. The responsible services constantly monitor the situation and exchange information with our allies. I can reassure you! If a real threat arises, I will inform you immediately.

On October 3, 2026, the Saeima elections will take place. For the first time, I have gone from being a voter to a candidate, and I am pleased that in Latvia there is a party for which conservative values and nationalism are not just an election slogan but the reason for its founding. In the two previous elections, I voted for parties that promised to protect conservative values. Eight years ago I trusted JKP, four years ago the United List. However, the Partnership regulation was adopted, the Istanbul Convention was ratified, and the promises remained where they were made: before the elections. After this disappointment, I got tired of waiting for someone else to fulfill what was promised. So in 2024 I joined the association 'Austošā Saule', because I knew that its goal was to become a party. Before that, I checked who these people were and found idealists for whom Latvia is not a four-year project but a home built for generations. I was present when the association became a party on 23 August 2025, the only truly new party in these elections. Over these years I have fallen in love with the nationalism of small nations, because it is not directed against others but is an unwavering will to exist. The preamble of the Constitution states that the Latvian state was created to guarantee the existence of the Latvian nation, its language and culture through the centuries. In 1989, when I was born, Latvians were only 52% in their own land; this year we are about 63%. Latvia is the only place in the world where the Latvian people and language are at home: if there are fewer of us here, there will be no other place in the world where we could become more. The promise of the Constitution does not fulfil itself; it is fulfilled by people in the Saeima. Therefore, 'Austošā Saule Latvijai' offers not slogans but concrete steps: - defend the interests of Latvians as the state nation, strengthen the Latvian language and the Latvian cultural environment; - promote the emigration of third-country immigrants and make the residence permit issuance procedure stricter, while other parties only promise to fight illegal immigration; - prevent the spread of Islamism; - amend Article 110 of the Constitution so that the foundation of the family is the marriage of a man and a woman, blood kinship or adoption; - gradually end the Partnership institution, while other so-called conservative parties stop at the promise of not allowing same-sex marriage; - withdraw from the Istanbul Convention and fight domestic violence with national laws and crisis centres; - ensure that families return to the countryside and new farms are created; - actively participate in NATO and remain in the European Union as a community of national states, so that conservative values have a voice in it. These goals are achievable by legal means, but parties tend to stumble in implementing them. I have a master's degree in law from the University of Latvia and thorough knowledge of constitutional law, so I will help turn the goals of the ASL programme into laws that will be written to withstand the review of the Constitutional Court. If you support national and conservative values, and if you truly care about family, nation and state, then on 3 October put the ballot for list 12 in the envelope. May a morning dawn over Latvia in which Latvians as the titular nation are a stable majority in their own land!

Very heavy background regarding signals from Paris, Warsaw, London and Helsinki. Even Berlin sent 4 destroyers to LV. Personally, this is not surprising to me, but the situation is dramatized by 4 wasted years. Rinkēvičs' complete impotence, the progressive Sprūds' sabotage against NBS/ZS. JV's rot has put LV in a very poor tactical position - the border hasn't even started to be strengthened in these 4 years, air defense relies on NATO fighter jets. Rinkēvičs ["supreme commander of the army" 🤡] is only interested in pushing through the TUA law, scraping together AS+LPV votes to continue his impotence for another 4 years, transit continues, passenger transport has not been halted. And that BY property in Jūrmala has still not been confiscated, although by is conducting open hybrid warfare against LV.
