Kuzmins shouts in the Valmiera debates that Russians are indigenous Latvians! How so? Archaeological excavations and historical research confirm nothing of the sort. Get informed! https://t.co/TSi9TGjuyX Why are you fantasizing, Kuzmin? Russians are indigenous to Muscovy and the swamps around Pskov, nowhere else! Soon parties that deal with the 'Russian question' like yours will be shut down! #AtkrieviskoLatviju
“Times change, and artificial intelligence is coming in. We can resist it, but those young people will use it anyway. They must be the ones who, through this artificial intelligence, much faster increase learning opportunities and also learn things that will help their future,” said Edvards Smiltēns (AS) at the #ChooseLatvia'sFuture debates in Valmiera. #Elections2026
Teachers, in my opinion, are tired of endless reforms. That is why we must complete this started reform qualitatively to the end, because unfortunately even now there is still a lack of teaching materials. It is clear that primary school should be closer to the place of residence," said Daiga Mieriņa (ZZS) in the #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni debates in Valmiera. #Vēlēšanas2026

“The problem will not be solved by paying the same teachers a higher salary. We must pay those who know how to work, who can achieve results. [..] The state must take over the management of schools and carry out a reform,” Juris Pūce (LA) said in the #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni debates in Valmiera. #Vēlēšanas2026

"We need to change the attitude towards schools, towards education, towards the education of children. Politicians change attitudes. That is exactly why we need a safe environment, [...] there must be content quality that combines both creativity and technology. And the teaching profession is crucial," said Andris Sprūds ("Progresīvie") during the #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni debates in Valmiera. #Vēlēšanas2026

“If a child cannot access a state-funded service in a timely manner, the maximum waiting time should be specified. Then one should go to a private [specialist], and the state should compensate this visit,” said Linda Liepiņa (LPV) in the #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni debate in Valmiera. #Vēlēšanas2026

“I think that the partnership regulation currently in place in Latvia is not in any way in contradiction with the fact that God tells us all to love our neighbor,” Evika Siliņa (JV) said at the #ChooseLatviaFuture debates in Valmiera. #Elections2026

“We definitely should not bring in foreign labor, because we must primarily take care of our own people. [..] What I would like to see is that in the future there are no young people who finish high school without any work experience. I really also call on parents to give their children the opportunity to work for at least a month during the summers already during primary or secondary school,” said Jānis Dombrava (NA) during the #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni debates in Valmiera. #Vēlēšanas2026

“We are located next to Russia, and here in Latvia no one should have doubts whether security is our priority or not. Of course, it is a priority above all economic interests. Therefore, there should be no discussions about whether a person should remain on the sanctions list or not,” #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni debates in Valmiera said Solvita Gulbe (“Mēs mainām noteikumus”). #Vēlēšanas2026
@saliktengriba@liana_langa There is a legal problem, because the Constitutional Court has previously prohibited applying different rules to some social group. Lawyers are currently working to make the ban on free rides for Russian occupiers in transport undisputable.
Half a year has passed, so question @liana_langa@AnsisPupols - how is the ending of sponsorship of immigrants in Riga public transport going? How much longer will Latvian taxpayers finance the riding of immigrants on public transport? https://t.co/Nnt7lM2OGU
@guntarsv Like I was just in London. While the passport beeped at the station, I remembered them again. Almost the whole world beeps passports on their equipment. Made in Daugavpils. Surreal. And in Latvia almost nobody knows that. It's not some startup.
Today I was in Daugavpils, and we also visited several companies. I was surprised. They produce world-class equipment that is exported to 170 countries. German police, foreign services, airports. What kind of equipment? Passport inspection scanners, for example. Equipment for examining forged documents and the like. Our airport has them too. There is only one country in the world where their operations are planned to be cancelled. That is Latvia. Which country to evacuate to? Maybe not necessary. We will try to fix this legislator's mistake.

"I am generally very sorry that the Latvian state spends time and resources to include people in sanctions. We are in an economic hole, we need to think about our people, about our Latvia, not about how to put another Latvian citizen on the blacklist," said Pāvels Kuzmins ("Stabilitātei!") at the #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni debates in Valmiera. #Vēlēšanas2026
