@SunuJekabs @VL_TBLNNK @IIndriksone @janisdombrava Leaving Riga and getting to Vidzeme sometimes takes 15 min. 😇 You can vote for Jānis in the Vidzeme district: https://t.co/X48El8wWHx.
From@SunuJekabs@EdvardsRatnieks @VL_TBLNNK @IIndriksone @janisdombrava If #Dombrava were to run in Riga, my choice might immediately be for the National Alliance, #Darītājs definitely. I hope he holds on in Vidzeme and gets in.

The Green Course must strengthen Latvia's economy, and its goals must be proportionate to our capabilities. Latvia cannot afford promises worth billions without clear funding. Every decision must be assessed by what it gives people and businesses: more affordable energy, new jobs, and opportunities to develop manufacturing. The implementation of climate goals must go hand in hand with Latvia's competitiveness and energy independence. I advocate a responsible approach: to invest in projects that create value in Latvia and to undertake commitments that we are able to fulfill. Ambitions must be based on calculations, because ultimately society pays for political promises. 🎥 Video: Delfi TV debates “Nākamais lūdzu!” about Latvia's place in the world (23.09.)

From@2N_ICEBOXThis is extremely powerful news for Russia and very good news for us that the UK has expressed readiness to extend its nuclear deterrence protection also to 9 Northern European countries, including Latvia. 🙏

From@kSukevicsGreetings, @Progresivie and @suvajevs - is this the official party position to support the ideas of an extreme left-wing party? (in the picture - the woman in question) "Young people's trust in progressive political forces in both New York and Berlin gives me hope that politics in Latvia can also be different." - Selma Levrence, PRO's current and potential Saeima deputy (1). The lady in the picture is the lead candidate of Berlin's left-wing extremist LINKE, who won the recently held Berlin elections. What does this party advocate at the national level (some facts)? 1. Germany should withdraw from NATO and it demands a ban on arms exports; a "pacifist security policy" should be created, including the abolition of FRONTEX, which should be replaced by state-funded rescue of people in the Mediterranean. 2. It calls for reforming the EU, because it is too "neoliberal and economy-oriented". 3. It insists on unconditional rights to asylum, and is against any deportations (including of criminals). The party does not agree to any strengthening of asylum rules, and insists that everyone who arrives in Germany (illegally) should receive an unlimited work permit from the very first day. The party also calls for recognizing climate change and poverty as an official reason/argument for requesting and receiving asylum. 4. It calls for redistributing the wealth of "dishonest" people by setting higher taxes on millionaires/billionaires, as well as increasing the inheritance tax. Not to mention the (in)direct connections of some party members with crime clans known in Germany (2). Even more interesting is that the woman in question was still a member of the left-wing extremist organization "Rote Hilfe" in 2025. An organization that the German Office for the Protection of the Constitution has officially recognized as "the largest and one of the most significant groups among Germany's far-left extremists" and which also uses "physical force" to achieve its goals (3). Is that the "different politics" that Selma talks about and that PRO wants in Latvia? As long as even PRO Saeima deputies maintain and consider such positions to be good, PRO must be kept away from any possible representation in the next government. More about the Berlin elections mentioned by Selma, as well as more info about the invoked LINKE lady, can be read here: https://t.co/ceHx7ZRvqX 1) https://t.co/l0Wzl0DWrc 2)https://t.co/34NmdwUnUx 3) https://t.co/gkUnYNo0is

Do you still not understand where thousands of Evita Puriņas in Cheka sacks came from?... On the afternoon of 14 June, the Evita Puriņas were already rummaging through the deported people's dowry chests and muttered to themselves — good that our security services knew where their money came from. That's the breed. https://t.co/YtwwJ1Lu0k

@Ceslavs_Batna @murcielagor @didzisdejus @janisdombrava You haven't started reviewing the draft law at the committee meeting, you only talked about planning to start it sometime.
From@Ceslavs_Batna@murcielagor @IIndriksone @didzisdejus @janisdombrava Slowing down?!?!? We have started reviewing the draft law, we will continue work on 6 October - it will be reviewed by the Higher Education Subcommittee and on 13 October by the Education Committee! On top of that, the amendments to the Immigration and University laws are not aligned! And that must be fixed before the review!

ONLY IN THE STATE LANGUAGE! It must be admitted that the Latvian state, 35 years after independence, has continued to maintain the consequences of the occupation, prolonging the challenges of societal tension for at least another generation. The artificial creation of a two-community society with taxpayers' money is unacceptable. The educational process must be solely in the state language, namely Latvian.

From@liana_langaGood day, hon. @AndrisKulbergs, why are the immigration restriction plans being stalled? What is the United List’s ideology — profit at any cost at the expense of Latvia’s national identity and statehood?
