Health Minister Abu Meri is not sure that medics' salaries will grow by 30% in 2027 (7) Today — a picket by the medics' union at the Cabinet of Ministers building

Līvāni, September 28, 18:50. 5 people have just cast their ballots for list No. 2 in Latgale. The sixth family member in Dudū was not allowed to vote because he had forgotten his passport at home... @partijaMMN https://t.co/fksHfUyvyv

Minister is not sure about the chances of achieving a 30% wage increase for medics next year

Last week, the professional holiday of the Latvian Prosecutor's Office was celebrated at the Mežaparks open-air stage. The State Police chief Armands Ruks was also invited to the event, and he unjustifiably arrived in a police car with lights and sirens on. When will the shaft break? @janisdombrava https://t.co/cvFYgQolRM

"The patient doesn't care about percentages": candidates for health minister argue about where to get the money

What are the current government's actions to stop this? A week ago, the Saeima supported @Progresivie's draft decision on a transit ban. However, decisions made at government level clearly do not restrict transit flows. https://t.co/DX6XQM3pti

I remind everyone that it is possible to “vote out” candidates in the lists. Take, for example, the PRO list and cross out all those who, in your opinion, did not work well. This way you can only work with one list. 🤓

@ivars_auzins The peaks of the sharp price jump must be cooled, because companies have contracts/commitments in which they cannot manage to adjust prices in time; this rapidly increases inflation and hits the economy.

@Aiga_Dre You probably did not notice that yesterday R. Uzulnieks announced not an agreement with the prosecutor on a sentence, but a readiness to take up deputy duties.

Violence against women is not a private family problem. It is the responsibility of the whole society. Important decisions have been made and new solutions introduced in Latvia in recent years to prevent violence. This work must be continued, while honestly talking about situations where people still do not receive help quickly enough or do not know where to look for it. In conversation with @ineselibina and @andacaksa, we discussed what to do if violence affects you or someone close to you, and where to seek help. Violence loves silence, so it is important for us not to stay silent and not to remain indifferent. No one who experiences violence has to face it alone. 👉🏼 Watch the full recording here: https://t.co/o48Gyixuaq
