From@Mikipele6Tonight the election results will show more than one surprise (both pleasant and unpleasant), but in one aspect there will be no surprise at all: LSM's politically engaged operatives, just like 4 years ago, will pull out all their fur coats, brooms, and Rozenvaldses to prove that PRO should be taken into government.

From@E_StendzenieksBut you can simply label LPV people and the party as 'pro-Kremlin forces', 'non-state party', 'Russian influence agents' and nothing. The day before the 14th Saeima elections, you blurt out 'Putin pays Šlesers 2M per year!' and don't even retract. In November, in Doma Square, you divide people into 'Light versus darkness', 'educated versus illiterate', 'love versus hate', 'freedom versus slavery' and so on, where even @VL_TBLNNK ended up among the Kremlin forces. In the end, the biggest stambulētāji themselves cover up pedophilia and you cover up your own cadres. Go fuck yourself.

@Borovkovs Very good and precise analysis.
From@BorovkovsA couple of subjective remarks about tonight’s debates. Unambiguously: - Andris Kulbergs is the best orator with a charmingly disarming smile and a perfectly built speech rhythm. - Juris Pūce is pleasantly businesslike — you can sense he knows his stuff, and it was a lucky choice that Ivars Ījābs did not represent the party in the party debates. - Viktors’ exaggerated pathos and constant reminders that he will be prime minister justifiably make one doubt, - Šuvajevs as always — a talking Excellency, with fluent language, but in fact a populist of a completely empty shell. As always. - In a politically unpolished language, Alvis at times said more than the experienced routine politicians. That was undeniably brilliant. - Ainārs has grown, although phrases from earlier times can be heard; he knows the material well and has an oppositionist’s freedom of expression, a good reaction with a counter-question to Kulbergs on a very unfortunate question, but the brightest moment of tonight’s debates was undoubtedly the question about the enormous corruption in state administration with a reference to criminal liability, without addressing it to either JV or Pro, but to Pūce, who is not in the government (and naming the addressee at the end — brilliant!). Juris was literally on pause when he received that question. - For the umpteenth time JV demonstrates its weakness, which it tries to replace with attacking aggression. Strange tactics. Ašeradens, who has always come and been able in the studio to shoot back with tolerant self-respect for what JV has done .... A wasted opportunity to debate about the state, with a very unsuccessful jab at Jūlija. This genre does not suit Arvils. Bad political technologists are an old V problem (Ēlerte, Ķirsis), - Indriksone is stable, with predictable answers. - Jūlija — knowledgeable, a little too aggressive, but with enormous advantages to use, and she does so from opposition positions. - It is hard to understand what Svetlana Čulkova was oriented towards tonight — her strong point is short, laconic and precise answers that do not irritate the viewer, but that was rare tonight. There is a feeling that the party is being written off, fixating only on one BY and Ru topic. Rosļikovs was an undeniable leader, without whom the party goes down the bubble. Gundars Rēders, in my opinion, coped well with the “prime ministers”. One can agree with @AnsisPupols that it was a tormented evening circus show, with attempts to entertain the audience with rather stupid jabs at opponents rather than talking — how to save the plundered state from insolvency. The biggest catastrophe of the evening was the invited, day-before-yesterday experts, who were unable to contribute to the discussion. It is positive that the broadcast ended with the united “Latvia, Latvia” sounding in the studio, because it is one for all. That is good. The shows are over — now to work.

From@ZigurdsAn exhibition dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the restoration of Latvia's independence at the Saeima building. Why does the exhibition dedicated to the road to the restoration of Latvia's independence devote only three disrespectful sentences to the Citizens' Congress? The text conceals that in 1989 the creation of the Citizens' Congress was initiated by the public and political organisations of the Third Awakening: Helsinki-86, VAK, LNNK and others. Only thanks to the Citizens' Congress's firm stance and constant political pressure was the Supreme Council forced to advocate for the restoration of Latvia's state independence rather than settle for some kind of sovereignty within the USSR. Thanks to the Citizens' Congress's continuous pressure, the Supreme Council, instead of creating a newly formed independent Latvian state, was forced to begin the restoration of the pre-war Republic of Latvia on the basis of the 1922 Constitution. The operation of the Civil Law and the Saeima Election Law was restored, and the names of the pre-war Latvian state structures were preserved. Unfortunately, the restoration of the Republic of Latvia of 18 November 1918 is still not fully completed. Unlike Estonia, where the Estonian Congress is a universally recognised part of the history of the Third Awakening, the Citizens' Congress of the Republic of Latvia is undeservedly belittled. https://t.co/ZcJ3BU3B4r

Today, the people of Latvia elect the 100 members of the new Saeima.
From@JazepsBaskoThank you to everyone who has already entrusted their vote to 'We Change the Rules'. The growing support and trust can be felt. A journalist asked a couple of days ago (approximately): 'But where is the guarantee that you will do what you promise?' And I answered: 'Where is the guarantee that a marriage vow will not be broken?' There are no guarantees. It is a commitment. Its success depends on the one who makes the promise just as much as on all the witnesses to the commitment. Our commitment is our pre-election programme. Our commitment is not pretty faces on the walls of houses, reporting facts that confirm stagnation, or stringing together beautiful sentences on command. Our commitment is not about deciding exactly what the crowd likes. It is no secret that for many, our programme is not and will not be to their liking. Our programme is not the result of a crowd vote. Our programme is our proposal for what we believe Latvia needs so that it does not come to an end. So that Latvia becomes a country in which we want to live and prove it with large families. Others now have the opportunity to decide whether they support this bold proposal. In our view, Latvia needs drastic changes. Both in the way decision-makers are determined, more broadly in state administration, and in every player in the game. This is about changing the rules, and the rules apply to everyone. Our intention is a transition from redistribution of benefits created by others to creating an environment in which people can create benefits themselves. From being demanders to becoming doers. Our commitment is to change the logic of decision-making in state administration. From left to right. From irresponsible dissolution in procedures to specific, individual, traceable responsibility. To traceable funding and traceable results. To demand accountability, there must be freedom of action. And we are the only freedom party. Down with restrictions, down with state interference in all spheres of life. For us to hold to our commitment, voters must not only go to the polls tomorrow and vote for us, but also help us implement the programme in the coming years. The struggle for power is quite ruthless. There is competition, there are temptations. Propensity for intrigue, various personality quirks cloud minds and fuel division. Not everyone is an idealist, not everyone is ideological, but reality is revealed only through deeds and hardships. The pre-election programme and our ideological basis are what and how we commit to doing and judging. The voters' insistent demand for its implementation is the only thing that can keep us on the narrow path and prevent us from becoming an interest group to which opportunists stick and which human weakness corrupts. After the election, we will need all of Latvia's smartest minds. It is clear that our party's ranks will also grow. I ask for your vote and help to protect Alvis Hermanis's idea. Elections are about an idea and about the brave people who undertake to defend that idea with your help. Vote for the idea, and especially for those whom you believe are ready to fall for it.

From@AndrisKulbergsSince 2020, the state apparatus has grown by +10,500 employees, despite a falling number of employed people and residents. As a result of the municipal reform, where the plan was to save and reduce resources = the number of employees has grown by +2,500. Public services 🇱🇻 are 26% of GDP vs 23% in OECD countries. Public-sector employment is 24% (the highest figure) vs 18% in the OECD. State intervention in the economy has grown by 10 percentage points, to a record-high 46%. In the next 4 years, all of these indicators must be reversed — that is our ironclad plan, if we are given such an opportunity.
