Where did Butāns' higher education disappear? After media questions, the MP changed his candidate card.

Dombrovskis: Increasing defense spending is particularly relevant for Latvia, but it puts pressure on the budget deficit.

Zatlers: some politicians offer reforms just for the sake of reforms

@Dzintarz Also not bad.

The court will announce a verdict in the nurse's criminal case over the death of a child at BKUS

Today the election week begins. In these elections, I stand for a Latvia where people can earn more, where housing is available, the state works for people, and life outside Riga does not mean fewer opportunities. That means more investment in manufacturing, exports and well-paid jobs. Simpler and faster state services. Quality education, healthcare, roads and public transport also in Latvia's regions. I entered politics with entrepreneurial experience and the conviction that it is not enough to just explain why something cannot be done. A solution must be found and a result achieved. If you too want a prosperous Latvia that works for people, I invite you to support PROGRESĪVIE! I myself am on the PROGRESĪVIE Zemgale list. The choice is in our own hands.

What happened to Butāns' higher education? In three Saeima elections it was “higher”, now – secondary.

⚡️ Montjana loudly spelled out the traitors' formula: if the curators want to kill, they will kill, and nothing will happen to them for it. 🇺🇦 Montjana, a traitor who fled from Ukraine to the orcs, described not a one-off scandal or coincidence, but a system. As long as she said what was expected of her, cooperation with the special services was beneficial to everyone. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The problems began not because of her “anti-Russian position,” but because she touched specific people and a specific vertical — Solovyov's circle and the so-called “DTR” representatives of power. ❌ After that, they no longer came to her as an ally. According to Montjana, force was used against her, equipment was confiscated, and she was genuinely being prepared to be taken to Donetsk — with a bag over her head, to "bury" her there. That only did not happen because acquaintances arrived at the apartment in time. ❗️ Here, more important than all the details is the formula she herself voiced loudly: if they want to kill, they will kill, and nothing will happen to them for it. This is not just a story about one propagandist. It is an instruction on how to "dispose of" those who are no longer convenient. 🪜 Former Riga resident Kirils Fjodorovs is already on the first step of this staircase. He did exactly what was asked of him: left Latvia, began spreading propaganda on Solovyov's platform, and collected funds for the purchase of military equipment for the orcs. As long as he stayed within the set boundaries, he was one of their own. ⚠️ It was enough for him to admit on air that Ukrainian drones are technically superior to Russian drones and that a war with China cannot be ruled out — and he was kicked off the air. Not for treason against his homeland. For saying too much out loud. Usually this is followed by a pause, loss of platforms, then a search, and then a completely different tone: "I was betrayed by those I worked with." 🔥 Mamikins is still at the previous stage for now. He is needed as a living example of "a European who understood everything": he fled from Latvia and screams about the "Oreshnik" strike on the Baltics. As long as this role is in demand, they keep him near the camera. 🫣 As soon as the Baltic card is no longer needed, or if he touches not abstract "elites" but specific people in the system, the scheme will repeat itself. 🎥 And then he too will sit in front of the camera and tell how he worked for the FSB for years, but they simply decided to take him out. 😵‍💫 Montjana has already walked this path to the end and said it out loud. Fjodorovs has just received his first warning. Mamikins is currently doing his shift in Belarusian propaganda. The direction is the same: as long as you are useful, you are one of their own. As soon as you start bothering the curators, they stop covering for you. 🙈 And then the conversation is no longer about truth or patriotism, but about whether acquaintances will manage to arrive before they put you in a car. ❓ What do you think — will Mamikins and Fjodorovs shut their mouths in time, or will they end up with a bag over their heads? #vatņiki #Mamikins #nodevēji #fsb #propaganda

Uncertainty has arisen regarding the education indicated by MP Butans in the last three Saeima elections.

Why is there still no criminal case initiated against Jūlija Stepaņenko for money laundering? Why did the criminal case about Andrejs Elksniņš's family's electricity theft go quiet? I think the Kremlin has clearly said what will happen if they touch these people. And our authorities are carrying out the Kremlin's wishes. https://t.co/qeBC1mcsjh
