Political posts and news mentioning Apvienotais saraksts from monitored Latvian public sources.
From@io7246Thoughts were about one thing - with whom will AS form the government after October 3? That will decide everything - also how we will stop the inflow of migrants into Latvia. https://t.co/SEXac0teiA

From@Tas_es_PatsIt's not that Koļa doesn't have a lot of right... somehow it looks like Kulbergs himself is forced to play some awkward theater, so as not to say in plain words that Rinkēvičs's anti-Latvian, pro-Russian vector will be maintained https://t.co/uR8gKuPM6U

From@citskovskisjIt is precisely Kulbergs's responsibility as prime minister to fulfill what was promised in his government declaration about restricting migration. Given the sensitive nature of the immigration issue, already in June he should have summoned the ministers to himself and politically agreed on the main measures to restrict migration. Can it really be that none of the prime minister's advisers can tell him this? And only then give the task to officials to put it on paper. Experience shows that officials are able to carry out such political agreements even within 24 hours. Instead, 3 months of dawdling with bureaucratic procedures. The government must be led. And that is not done on social media with video filming. And also in Kariņš's style, leading the government only with resolutions is no longer possible.

@BrunenieceI @KEM_Latvija you mixed me up with someone. I have been an NA member since 2014, I invest free resources and time in family support activities, not in officials, and I am not running for the 15th Saeima.
From@BrunenieceI@Elina_Treija @KEM_Latvija You, like the accountant and speculator Vītols from the Pīlēns/Kulbergs AS family, are mainly trying to infiltrate a party, ministry, use your official position to buy officials, babble on social media, then run for Saeima, change laws and the system. Bravo!

Sharp conflict in coalition over immigration – NA demands Kulberg to explain
From@Ivars_AbolinsYesterday at the cooperation meeting, the progress of Jānis Dombrava's submitted Immigration Restriction Plan was postponed. Today Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs first explains on X that there was no time to familiarize himself with the plan. Although it had been publicly available since 24 July. Apparently 39 days were too few for the Prime Minister to do so. A working group is also to be convened. Although it is clear to everyone that a working group is an excellent bureaucratic instrument to kill anything. In fact, we are returning to the old bureaucratic habits — not doing, but endlessly discussing. The Prime Minister also states that the plan is not fully coordinated. One of those who have not coordinated is the association Gribu palīdzēt bēgļiem. I very much doubt whether it is possible to agree any immigration restriction plan with this association, and then we cannot actually accept anything. Later on X, Kulbergs moves to personal insults and abandons argumentation. These were not even any amendments to the law, it was a plan. A framework. A signal that the state wants to restrict immigration. Unfortunately, it seems that immigration restriction is important to many only in words, not in deeds.

"Perhaps he doesn't know the procedures," - Dombrava sharply responded to Kulbergs.
From@Fio777@AndrisKulbergs @VL_TBLNNK @janisdombrava Mr. Kulbergs, you just "buried" yourself and lost not only my humble "vote"... Mr. Dombrava, good luck and perseverance in the fight against this bureaucratic monster's den🇱🇻❤️

Dombrava's immigration restriction plan strains relations between NA and Kulbergs https://t.co/JvAiXboOMV
From@ArtursButans@AndrisKulbergs @ProBono_Latvia I call on @AndrisKulbergs to behave in a manner befitting a prime minister, without using emotional name-calling. Moreover, publicly. The immigration restriction plan has been coordinated since July 24. The arguments against its review were as emotional as your posts here. @VL_TBLNNK will promote this again.

From@ArtursButans❗️First, the prime minister must be able to distinguish a bill from an informative report. Secondly, on the TAP portal everyone can see that the immigration restriction plan has been coordinated since July 24. I call on @AndrisKulbergs, instead of emotional reproaches, to no longer postpone restricting immigration. https://t.co/hLpkgEfwB5

Continuing like this, Kulbergs will in record short time achieve that after the elections his candidacy for prime minister will no longer be relevant, even if AS becomes the winner. Which political force will want to work with such a leader?
Dombrava and Kulbergs have quarreled over who gets to fire the starter pistol for the final sprint of the pre-election campaign. It's clear that Dombrava is joking, but Kulbergs's communication with Dombrava via video on social media puts him in exactly the same category. It's just a pity that Kulbergs's arguments mark him as an obedient accomplice of the system — it's hard for Kulbergs to imagine how Latvia could demand amendments to the directive! But it is precisely in such a bold spirit that one must act. A sovereign state can act and speak back. Poland, Hungary, Italy and others do that. Those who change will survive. The changes necessary for the viability of the European Union will not be brought by some recipients of a scholarship named after Europe, "Member of the European Parliament", but by strong national governments that will bloc together driven by similar interests. If Kulbergs does not offer a way out of the old obedient schoolboy thinking, then four months will be enough.

The people do not want stricter migration control, but rather to completely cancel the possibility of arriving from Russia, India, or Uzbekistan and similar countries. They also want those who have already arrived in Latvia to be deported. https://t.co/2EruyQop9q
From@AndrisKulbergsTo all shouters before shouting from headlines about migration, I suggest you read! The government's and my position has never changed regarding stopping uncontrolled migration. Illegal and "legally" migrants with fabricated papers have no place in Latvia. I am for deeds and action, not cheap, childish @VL_TBLNNK shouting for the sake of shouting. I expect from @janisdombrava a QUALITATIVELY prepared migration control document. I already yesterday scheduled a political ministers' meeting for Friday 12:00 to help sort it out with ministers. If Dombrava is not ready to simply prepare a document for consideration by the Council of Ministers, then he can only blame his own inability to be a good minister.
