But 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.
Just now, on LR1's 'prime time', they presented as the main news the mismatch between Butāns' education certificate and the stated education.
Although the certificate is being assessed at the relevant institution, the 'public media' were already sure of everything.
An RD progressive deputy is involved in pedophilia, the public media are silent https://t.co/9E8lhzGdev
Thank 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.
@DagnijaNeimane What if instead of PRO there were NA @DagnijaNeimane would jump out of her pants writing, all of LSM would be written down from beginning to end. That is how paid-for media work. Now that there is no real news about PRO, only disinformation about PRO going to the police. This piggishness also annoys me.
@beajonite@Progresivie Now that it has come to light that @Progresivie knew about and covered up this sexual crime by their deputy for a whole month, thereby acting in absolute contradiction to the principles declared in the Istanbul Convention, will you personally and Centre Marta continue cooperation with this party?
@DagnijaNeimane What if instead of PRO there were NA? @DagnijaNeimane would jump out of her pants to write, the whole LSM would be written down from beginning to end. That is how bought media work. Now that there is no real news about PRO, only disinformation about PRO going to the police. This piggishness also annoys me.
I read on X about early voting ballots disappearing, and at night I dreamed that I went to my polling station and asked to vote again, but I put No.12 again, just to be as sure as a bank that @austsaule gets my vote! #vēlēšanas
In a normal society, Mārtiņš Ēņģelis would sink the party @Progresivie, and in the elections it would be swept into the dungheap of history. Not because they have such a member, but because they covered it up.
"Progressives" turned to the police in the Eņģelis case only this week; failure to report a serious crime can carry up to two years in prison https://t.co/IdWy1n0NmO
Today, together with Culture Minister Nauris Puntulis, we visited the memorial museum of President Jānis Čakste at Auči. Several ideas arose so that this place would serve society and democracy for generations to come. https://t.co/LKfIS1ZOm6
HOW CAN ONE NOT PROMISE! - the classic once said
🗳️ PARTIES — WHO PROMISES MORE?
Given this stark budget reality and the legacy left in state finances, where even borrowing up to the maximum 🇪🇺EU-allowed budget deficit limit is not enough, the pre-election promises of political parties stand out especially.
They are no longer measurable in hundreds of millions — they are already measurable in billions €, moreover without financial coverage and without a real economic growth proposal.
I have analysed the programmes of several political parties and summarised each party's promises in money terms for the period from 2027 to 2030.
🏆 The record holders of political "Promisers" for the next four years:
🥇 No.1 — Suverēnā Vara / Jaunlatvieši (Stepaņenko wants to give benefits, cut VAT, raise salaries): +3.61 billion €
🥈 No.2 — @LatvijaPirmaja Latvia First (@SlesersAinars – we reduce VAT on everything): +2.87 billion €
🥉 No.3 — @ZZS_ (@ViktorsValainis — promising to abolish VAT): +2.47 billion €
4️⃣ @Progresivie (@suvajevs — because money grows on trees): +2.1 billion €
5️⃣ @Jauna_Vienotiba (@aseradens — we continue borrowing endlessly): +1.56 billion €
6️⃣ @VL_TBLNNK National Alliance — (wants to fund language, education, culture and fight illegal migration, without thinking about the ECONOMY): +1.55 billion €
7️⃣ @Apvienotais_ — we will not promise what we cannot deliver, main focus on education that will pay off in the future, with justification of where we will take the funding: +763 million €
When you go to vote - ask the question - HOW DO THESE BIG PROMISERS REALLY INTEND TO IMPLEMENT THEIR PROMISES, IF ALREADY TODAY THE STATE FINANCES HAVE A €420M FINANCIAL HOLE (already next year), WHICH MUST BE FILLED? And think about who left such a financial pit legacy
But that's probably exactly what @DagnijaNeimane meant - see, in the case of an LMA lecturer, the LTV label could be attached right away - because it was completely clear that that gentleman is not a @Progresivie member....:)) https://t.co/5Mf5pRxxbl
The evidence is that Šlesers himself the next day applied to KNAB, SAB, VDD, the prosecutor’s office and VID with a request to check everything, and after 2 years of the most insane work of all institutions under the JV government, it was found that they were lies by a Russian blogger.
About Šlesers’s 2M wrote Novaya Gazeta, I recommend you read it, there is evidence, you could have refuted it. “Russian influence agents” you made such a party yourselves, Luņova, Ābola, Rēzeknes that tsar, you don’t care, you take all the garbage. Then don’t be surprised.
