Can’t tell whether we’ll have 51% or a bit less. Or about the pointless reading of coffee grounds about who will be friends with whom before the election results are even known. https://t.co/ab7vHruxqU

@viuksmp I also think that “an intimate contact happened between us” was most likely a joint reading of the party programme.

@E_Stendzenieks After reading the entire article, it still wasn't clear whether the sexual harassment was a smile, or whether he also allowed himself to invite her on a date. Likewise, whether the orphan was from kindergarten or a high-school student. It seems the progressives' medicine turned out too bitter.

@10Salaca @pudzinsh Born a Cēsis native, I'm still there every week. I recommend coming to visit—there's plenty to see and enjoy here! :)

@CerinsAivis @pudzinsh hopefully you won't get into the Saeima on Kulbergs' +++.. Your place is with the rainbow friends in Cēsis, where the white tables are..

Sloganically correct, but our politics is distinctly left-wing. That could also be seen in the debates. One promises cheaper fuel, another other kinds of support, heating also has to be compensated (🙈), and the theses on how the state will develop the economy, productivity, exports, etc. were not particularly impressive. The only thing the state can do is interfere less (and ensure reasonable, competitive taxes). If support and benefits are promised (and that happens in every election), then none of that is possible by definition.

Not everything is just black and red. Entrepreneurs create jobs, income, and much of society's well-being. But entrepreneurship also relies on an environment in which the rule of law, protection of property rights, infrastructure, and functioning institutions exist. This is not a story of entrepreneurs against the state, but of mutual interdependence.

How can Latvia 🇱🇻 use the opportunities provided by US 🇺🇸 initiatives @PaxSilica to strengthen technology, innovation, and economic security? A discussion was held under the leadership of Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba with representatives of businesses, academia, and public administration about Latvia’s potential in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, energy, digital infrastructure, and other strategic technology fields. 💬 “Technology has long ceased to be just a business matter. It is at the same time a matter of economic development, national security, and foreign policy,” emphasised Baiba Braže. 🔗 More: https://t.co/s7LVMBffiP 📸 Photo: Laura Celmiņa, Ministry of Foreign Affairs https://t.co/684LVcZJ9e

✅✅✅ The situation is as simple as 2x2. The law gives Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba the power to deny people the right to stay in Latvia for political reasons. The law requires the Interior Minister to present a specific violation that must be proven in court. Kremlin prostitute Ragozins has been raging on the internet for the sake of “russkij mir” for at least the last eight years. Neither Foreign Minister @edgarsrinkevics, nor Foreign Minister @krisjaniskarins, nor @Braze_Baiba has lifted a finger to throw this FSB cockroach out of Latvia, which all three could have done in 5 minutes! Here you go, @Jauna_Vienotiba, the record of the last 8 years in a nutshell! #Ragozins

I really don't understand the dispute about putting Ragozins on the list of undesirable persons. Let both ministers do it at the same time and move on with their daily routines. Where's the problem?

At the previous such meeting, it was estimated that by 11 September, 16 of the government's priority tasks had been fully implemented, so the amount completed has tripled in less than three weeks. Kulbergs accordingly announced that the government has completed a lot of work, despite skeptics who said this government would do nothing https://t.co/qapnofyXPG

The European Court of Human Rights today delivered its ruling in the case of Trēgers v. Latvia, rejecting Edvīns Trēgers's (applicant) complaints of violations of Article 5(1) (right to liberty and security) and Article 5(5) (right to receive compensation for unlawful deprivation of liberty) of the European Convention on Human Rights (the Convention). 🔗 More: https://t.co/324UfYs2uH
