From@atis_svinkaIt is not right that @AndrisKulbergs casually comments on the possible repurchase of LMT and TET shares from Telia while clearly knowing that these are restricted-access (IP) documents. It is doubly bad that these comments are inaccurate and misleading. Viktors Valainis did not have a Cabinet of Ministers mandate to freely and independently decide on the transaction price – the process was completely different. The Minister of Economics had a mandate to co-sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU), in which the state, for specific reasons, was a co-signatory together with the state companies carrying out this transaction. This fact must not and cannot be presented as a bilateral agreement between Telia and the Latvian state. In this situation, the public needs clarity and truth – to the extent that commercial secrecy allows.

From@AndrisKulbergsDay No. 39 (this time actually the right one – day 39 😊) in the prime minister's chair Early morning again. ➖I appeared on @ltvpanorama about NGOs, AirBaltic and the government's Action Plan. ➖🇱🇻 Meeting with the State Defence Corporation I met with the management of the State Defence Corporation about developing the military industry and attracting investors. Very good impression – a professional team and a strong leader, Ingrīda Ķirse. Main conclusions: - 🇫🇷 together with French partners, the project for the first 155 mm howitzer shell production plant is planned to start already in September; - the EIA process is still a major problem; - public consultations also cause problems; - everything is slowed down by Latvia's biggest chronic ailment – the inability to make decisions in a timely manner; - we agreed to fix these mistakes. ➖🇺🇦 Call with the new Ukrainian Prime Minister - Very good first conversation – an open discussion started from the very first minutes. - The new PM is in many ways similar to me – young, comes from the private sector and has led a large corporation. - We both agree that one of the main priorities is energy and security. - I said that we – the 🇱🇻 Baltic and 🇺🇦 Ukrainian PMs – are a new generation that will introduce modern changes in politics. - We agreed to take the next practical step in implementing the drone contract, which is necessary to open a military production facility in Latvia in cooperation with Latvia's military industry. - The Ukrainian PM especially highlighted President @Rinkevics' decision in 2021 to donate 🇺🇦 14 Javelin anti-tank missile launchers even before 🇷🇺 full-scale invasion. According to him, this decision helped defend Kyiv and significantly influenced the battles for Hostomel airport, disrupting Russia's airborne plans. - The PM sent special greetings to @poznaks and the Twitter convoy, who are known by the entire Ukrainian people, and the military is especially grateful for the donation of more than 8000 units of equipment to Ukraine – through Reinis, special thanks to all Latvian people. ➖🇱🇻 Weekly meeting with the President We discussed: - the President's returned Immigration Law – it must be improved so as not to jump from one ditch to another; - facts and statistics on the NGO sector – about 10% of organisations cast a shadow over the whole rest of the sector; - in July we will publish a publicly available data summary on NGOs; - the NATO summit in Ankara; - the government's Action Plan; - national security and the eastern border; - the AirBaltic situation. ➖🎥 NRA video interview We talked about how to become prime minister in three years :) ➖🇸🇪 Meeting with TELIA management Together with Economy Minister @ViktorsValainis I met with the chairman of the board of Swedish company TELIA and his team. I received the following explanation about the TET/LMT transaction: - TELIA has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the 🇱🇻 state on the sale of all its TET and LMT shares; - an agreement on the sale price has been reached with V.Valainis; - TELIA wants to close the deal by 31 July, but I pointed out that this is not a realistic deadline; - TELIA has no "red lines" or conditions about what happens to TET and LMT after the deal; - the main reason why TET and LMT have not been merged in the previous 12 years has been the companies' own historical unwillingness to merge; - I confirmed that the 🇱🇻 state is ready to move forward as soon as the Economy Minister submits to the government a clear proposal for a deal with a strategic investor that fully secures Latvia's state interests. Promise – already next week. ➖👏 Thanks for 47 years of work - I congratulated the long-serving State Chancellery employee Leontīne on her last working day before retiring. - She worked at the State Chancellery for 47 years – her entire working life in one workplace. She was in charge of Cabinet meetings and visitor control. - It was very interesting to hear her stories from the Godmanis government times. 😊 ➖🔒 5-hour National Security Council meeting at the President's residence Agenda: - NATO summit; - 🇧🇾 hybrid threat on the Belarusian border with an organised illegal migration flow – solutions presented by @RMelnis and @Dombrava; - security of electoral systems; - assessment of the LVM cyberattack and conclusions on how to strengthen the security of the entire state's critical IT infrastructure. ➖🇱🇻 Inspection of the eastern border Already this Friday and Saturday we are preparing for a special out-of-town session – together with @janisdombrava and R.Melnis we will inspect the entire 458 km long Latvian eastern border with 🇷🇺/🇧🇾. Again a late evening tonight. Solving national security issues requires a lot of energy. 😊

@AndrisKulbergs @Progresivie I urge you to show the full document to the public, rather than creating a misleading impression about the government's mandate for the economy minister to agree on a price. Your attached picture does not confirm anything of the sort.
From@AndrisKulbergsThen, when suddenly @Progresivie develops amnesia. You yourselves have swept it under the rug and now you're playing the fool... I'm tired of watching this, I've already seen it in the RailBaltica investigation commission, where your presence was widely represented. I will not allow that anymore. In general, you in the PRO government exactly on July 15, 2025 gave the Minister of Economics such a mandate... you gave Mr. Valainis such a task. Ask your ministers and don't pretend to be ignorant now. 🤔

@pukshishinsh @Bertaane @eliina_balode Interesting, why did PRO and JV vote AGAINST revoking Aven's citizenship, and NA and AS were the only ones FOR? It feels like you are living in illusions🙃
From@pukshishinsh@Bertaane @LLatviesiem @eliina_balode Complete nonsense. We are the biggest opponents of Aven. No wonder the place is full of PRO bots. The National Alliance makes porcelain exhibitions for him and covers him. Šlesers surely sits, ZZS, NA and JV don't want to revoke citizenship.

Truly masterful. Exactly like with Istanbul. If you are not for, then you are for beating women — if you are against NGO handouts, then you are against civic society. Against the association that made Latvians a political nation. An anti-state traitor, to put it in three words. Kulbergs is a good guy for starting to kick that hornet's nest, but he lacks support and an ideological base. Leftism cannot be defeated with leftism. The redistribution problem will not be solved by a naive hope to decide who does the right things and who obviously does the wrong ones. The distinction between where public money is spent and where it isn't does not have to be based on the rationality of the expenditure. It has to be based on whether it is a state function and whether there is real competition for performing the function. If it is not a state function, we forget about it. Association or its promotion is NOT a state function. Tune in tonight at 19:00 for the first live stream of @partijaMMN on Facebook. We will talk about this parasitism.
From@SatoriLVWhat would Latvia look like without civil society? Nowhere. It would be Vitebsk Governorate or the Latvian SSR. Equally great a loss would be the unattained ability of the Latvian people to act together. On the role of civil society and NGOs in Latvian history.https://t.co/Flq4vk5308

@DDaugavietis45 @MGruskevics @Inga__Berzina @Jauna_Vienotiba I have only one question - where has the Minister of Justice @EdvardsSmiltens gone? Why does @AndrisKulbergs have to deal with this alone? It's a legal matter after all... if there is such confidence in the decision, then there should be full support from the Ministry of Justice publicly too. Right?
From@DDaugavietis45@MGruskevics @Inga__Berzina @Jauna_Vienotiba I have always valued you highly for your intellect, not for your values, which are stretched and weak, but please - stop playing the fanboy and support your current boss.

Finance Minister Māris Kučinskis: today a new airBaltic business plan has “appeared”, but I do not have more detailed information about its content, possibly the government could discuss it next week.
@MGruskevics @Brivibas36 @AndrisKulbergs @EvikaSilina @VKontrole One can, of course, discuss constitutional precedents, but the facts are that the previous government supported a 50M gift to some companies, a criminal process has been initiated, the Prosecutor General called on the Cabinet of of Ministers to recognize them as unlawful, and the government decided not to do so.
From@MGruskevics@suvajevs @Brivibas36 @AndrisKulbergs @EvikaSilina @VKontrole Why only about this? Because the consequences of this decision can be constitutional, as it will set precedents - how far the Cabinet of Ministers can decide on matters within the competence of one company's board and what responsibility do Cabinet members have?!

From@MGruskevics@suvajevs @Brivibas36 @AndrisKulbergs @EvikaSilina @VKontrole Would a letter also work? Or not? Then we could cancel a lot of stupid, wrong and harmful government decisions for state finances... What do you think? 🤷🏻♂️

No one talks about all the decisions - here there was still a protest letter from ĢP.
From@MGruskevicsHello! That would be a situation where we would start to cancel or reconsider all previous Cabinet of Ministers decisions! 🤯🤦🏻♂️ @AndrisKulbergs with one decision cancels ALL decisions of the @EvikaSilina government! Sorry for the exaggeration, but it reads exactly like that, that “legal reliance” is applied when it is convenient/inconvenient…

Unfortunately, the Prime Minister's actions are no different from JV governments: - shifting everything to law enforcement authorities (this time to the Constitutional Court) - saying that 'the government is not an investigative body' - claiming that nothing can be done because it is all in the past. The Cabinet of Ministers could have recognized the decisions as unlawful. https://t.co/j7Zg71y6dY

@UldisVarnevichs @Brivibas36 Previous government ministers had reason to believe that the documents prepared by @Zemkopibas_min contained truthful info. @AndrisKulbergs is aware that the information was distorted. There is a difference. The initiated criminal process will reveal more about the persons involved.
From@UldisVarnevichs@AndrejsJudins @Brivibas36 The main thing is that it was legally justified to allocate all that during the Vienotība government.
