Definitely not in my case 😊.

Isn't it so that most politicians don't understand anything about the field they represent and are basically just greater or lesser bullshitting specialists? https://t.co/InvV6tenW0

Today the Latvian Ministry of Defence, the Slovak government and the Czech defence industry company “TATRA DEFENCE SYSTEMS” signed a trilateral agreement on the supply of 155 mm artillery systems #Morana to @Latvijas_armija. Using financing from the EU “SAFE” instrument, this project will not only significantly strengthen our fire support and defence capabilities, but also provides for the gradual localisation of production and assembly in Latvia, promoting the development of the local industry. 🇱🇻🇸🇰🇨🇿 #NBS #Aizsardzība ➡️More: https://t.co/1iG6xIL067

❓ Why are the anti-immigration proposals put forward by NA being stalled in the Saeima and the government?

@Braze_Baiba I would like to remind that Ragozins, as far as I know, has hidden a number of his trips to Russia, which for a person who pretends to be a journalist is a serious violation.

To help Ukrainians! @LatvijasLoto, within the Good Cause programme, with the approval of @Finmin as shareholder, is donating 5 company cars in support of Ukraine. Soon they will reach the association "Bruņotava" to go further to Ukraine and serve where they are most needed right now. https://t.co/1ujILtORJU

@Talis_L Everything has been discussed several times and Mr. Dombrava knows what needs to be done. This is all the current Minister of the Interior's pre-election campaigning, you do understand.

@thejaniz The concept where two ministers solve a specific problem by exchanging tweets seems extremely unprofessional to me.

@pucej You meant Braže :)

The President of Latvia @edgarsrinkevics invites Latvian citizens to participate in the 15th Saeima elections. 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻 💬If people participate in elections, then it is not only a greater mandate for the Saeima, but it is also a greater opportunity to demand real accountability from those you voted for. https://t.co/jEi02PymI0

The opportunity to participate in real elections of one's own country is a privilege. Many in the world do not have such an opportunity or it has been lost. Let's go vote - with a cool head or a warm heart. Or both. We participate and take our share of responsibility. 🇱🇻 My Latvia. My responsibility 🇱🇻 https://t.co/VCbLjkxZ4P

Municipal deputies also have no business in aggressor states! For the fifth year now, russia continues its bloody and senseless war against Ukraine, yet we still have municipal deputies in Latvia who regularly travel to russia and belarus, especially from Suverēnā Vara / Jaunlatvieši. What exactly are they doing there and what interests do they represent here? That is why, together with colleagues from the @Jauna_Vienotiba faction @patmalnieksj @AgneseKrasta @a_latkovskis and @aseradens, we have drafted a bill that also prohibits municipal deputies from going back and forth to aggressor states. I hope the Saeima majority will support this bill tomorrow!

Yes, for example: a memory like a goldfish. And the consequences of such bureaucracy are huge problems for companies in carrying out simple transactions. Latvia has 8 financial supervision authorities! Their "quantity" does not help, but often hinders, and their areas of responsibility overlap and are contradictory, which does not create additional chaos - for business and fin-tech!

Somehow, all the X military experts and pundits regularly choose to ignore my calls to join the National Guard and actually do something for national defense. It is full of smart guys in their prime here, but somehow they avoid the question of whether they themselves are ready to actually do something. https://t.co/3UMJh7u9eH

Strengthening the role of the Russian language in Uzbekistan with Latvian taxpayers' money. That is exactly what has happened with the co-financing of €11,734 granted to the association Centre Marta by the Society Integration Foundation (SIF). The project's aim is 'to promote the involvement of Latvian civil society organisations and strengthen capacity in an international cooperation project focused on preventing gender-based violence and developing a support system in Uzbekistan, providing methodological tools and training to local NGOs and other interested partners to improve the identification, support and social integration of victims of violence.' The project was implemented in a multilingual environment, and the methodological (!!!) and informational materials are available in Russian and Uzbek. So the methodological materials are in Russian. At a time when Latvia's budget lacks funds and we cannot always help our own people, the presence of the Russian language is being increased in Uzbekistan at the expense of the whole society. This case once again shows that the SIF should actually be liquidated or seriously reformed, and things cannot continue as they are.
