Political posts and news mentioning Apvienotais saraksts from monitored Latvian public sources.
From@karlis_serzantsAlthough PRO desperately tries to “marry” AS with Šlesers, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the first to unite in a common cause with LPV. After all, they are united by love for the Russian language and crossing the thick red lines, as in the case of ZZS, so problems won't arise…

If you haven't read the contract, on what basis then these musings that the prime minister should read the contract before allegedly speaking inaccurately?
@ilmarmors @katrinailjinska @AndrisKulbergs Have you read that contract? Maybe then give it to all of us to read! It sounds to me that in this case the prime minister is right. The idea that it would be better to store explosives and drones separately is simply ridiculous from a logical standpoint.
From@ilmarmorsThe prime minister should know how to ask the right questions and be able to delve into details and know the subject :) From Sprūds's specific formulations (a favorite trick of politicians - saying it so that it's not a lie, but creates the desired / more positive impression) one can understand that something might not be exactly as Kulbergs, most likely, some NBS staff rat told him.

That will be called the PRO-Kremlin coalition.

Recent ratings show that we absolutely must vote for politicians who have been sitting there for years. Because they have great experience and they do very well. Kučinskis, for example, was Prime Minister during Rail Baltica, and that is a sure guarantee of change, etc. https://t.co/8MPZTJtuxH
From@GintsVilgertsIn short, about voting for the “old parties” 😂 https://t.co/vAWifcB5o5

From@SalvisLapinsAfter the fiasco of PRO in absolutely all areas, it is a bit strange that they are trying to scare someone with LPV.

Sorry, but did I ask you to measure and determine how 'crooked the interpretation is.' There were listed dry facts, exactly as they happened. Your story about how JV saved Latvia from a communist president is rather peculiar. Don't make JV out to be a protector from communists, that's a lie. Because you supported the election of communist Andris Bērziņš at the time, pushing aside Levits, co-author of the 4 May declaration, and later JV made Reirs, a Komsomol functionary, finance minister. Found saviors from communists!
From@gatisliepinYou have a rather crooked interpretation. The government was toppled by AS and Pīlēns with his ambitions to become president. AS refused to offer any other candidate, and it was impossible for the coalition to agree on a common candidate. Moreover, Pīlēns had already arranged opposition votes. JV with Rinkēvičs' candidacy disrupted this plan to put communist Pīlēns as president.

@ivchix Sorry, but I'm interested in how @AndrisKulbergs @EdvardsSmiltens and others' explanations about private campaigning events during working hours ended? Has it been confirmed that it was legally correctly formatted and no budget funds and administrative resources were used?
From@ivchixA telling excerpt from the prime minister's interview: 'The voter pays for very expensive ministers' and the prime minister's time, so that we do not waste it on anything.' https://t.co/gwAGusMGG4

@JazepsBasko @DienaLv That is a very interesting observation. Candidates from the United List gladly take joint photos with MMN candidates, visit each other's campaign tents, chat, etc.
From@JazepsBaskoWhere this weekend can you check whether Finance Minister Māris Kučinskis is telling fibs in an interview to the court newspaper @DienaLv: “They look so hostile in those pre-election tents.” https://t.co/rEMZwve0MU

Otherwise, it's hard to call this anything but sabotage.
From@AndrisKulbergsHere will be the whole truth about unpurchased charges for anti-drone systems during Defense Minister Sprūds' tenure. Yesterday, during my visit to the Sēlija training ground, I spoke directly with an NBS and a 20-year experienced explosives expert. It is unimaginable stupidity to make soldiers manually fill drones with explosives – it requires training every drone operator in the use of explosives and significantly increases the risk to lives.

#defacto returns to @LatvijasTV air – on Sundays, right after Panorāma. This week on the show: Business trip or campaign trip? KNAB checks the visit of a minister from the prime minister's party to Kurzeme. How far is Kulbergs' government ready to go to save the airline 'airBaltic'? https://t.co/2oW9Dv4qEY

From@Heinrih5But why would Kulbergs propose increasing the state debt, when we have such an Edmunds Jurēvics in Vienotība, who wants to take it on “his own shoulders”? Švinka and Briškens would surely chip in? https://t.co/yI1lOV5End

From@andrissprudsKulbergs' misinformation about 'forgetting' is being replaced with a half-truth about explosives. Overall, such a pre-election campaign, dragging Latvia's defense sector into it, is irresponsible. I express deep regret about that. But about the substance. If I had acted more simply, then Latvia might not have so rapidly developed innovative technologies that will protect our country, and which we can now also sell to our partners worldwide. That is exactly what the story is about when I speak of Latvia as a drone great power. What someone has called empty talk – these are weapon systems made in Latvia that will now protect our airspace. The agreement to support the development of 'Origin Robotics' counter-drone systems and the planned deployment on the border was my initiative, which strengthens both Latvia's drone and counter-drone industry and Latvia's airspace. Did everyone support it? Initially certainly not. Were there discussions about how to properly implement these new (!) systems? Of course! But this was a 100% correct decision, for which I can answer. The development, testing, and implementation of new systems always takes time. But nothing was 'forgotten' here – tasks were given to find the best solutions so that the systems would be combat-ready, and such a solution was found, with the first warhead deliveries starting in April.

The Prime Minister cares deeply about the country's economic development – and here our goals coincide. 2 important points:🧵 https://t.co/YQp2L0wDtH

From@andrissprudsPrime Minister Kulbergs is obviously deliberately spreading disinformation again. ❗️Air defense equipment was purchased and no rounds were forgotten. This concerns specific equipment – interceptor drones from the Latvian company Origin Robotics, which we tested and started purchasing already at the end of 2025. To fully integrate them into air defense, explosives need to be added. Such a task was given to the NBS to reach a solution together with VALIC and the commercial entity. And a solution was also reached. In parallel with the use of the army's available resources, an agreement was also concluded on specific supplies from an international supplier. I also clearly indicated the task to the NBS – equipped equipment had to start being deployed on the border already in April.
