@gatisliepin It would be good, because SK violates gender equality, but the partnership regulations violate Article 110 of the Constitution.
From@gatisliepinIf we are talking about values, then will the United List denounce the Istanbul Convention and repeal the partnership registration regulation? https://t.co/MRZoEf90DP

From@ainarsgrieze@Lato_Lapsa Well, @AndrisKulbergs, KNAB is directly subordinate to the Cabinet of Ministers, directly under your supervision. You cannot interfere in operational activities, but this is total piggery and disrespect. I know, I know, you have no time, but you could at least shout loud words in that direction. A cattle barn, not an office.

From@Jaanis_Kuuka@IlzeZvidrina @kr_klavins Somewhere one must start, even from zero, and travel 'to courses' to, for example, the UK. A situation where people expect that something is happening, but in reality there is inertia, or if it's full of Russians who at best turn a blind eye to a clear threat to the state, is much more dangerous.

How long will we vote for apple crates, when we could also vote for specific apples? "We Change the Rules" offers a change to the electoral order that does not require amending the Constitution, but only five laws: 1) Law on Election of the Saeima; 2) Law on Voter Register; 3) Law on Financing of Political Organizations (Parties); 4) Law on Pre-election Campaigning; 5) Law on Municipal Election Commissions and Election Polling Station Commissions.

From@LIAALatvija🇱🇻 🇺🇸 The Latvian entrepreneurs' trade mission has begun in the USA! From September 23 to 27, 44 Latvian companies and organizations are meeting in New York, Los Angeles, and San Diego with world-class companies, investors, universities, and technology transfer centers.

The mission program includes meetings with “ServiceNow”, Paramount+, “Warner Bros.”, Disney, Netflix, “Anduril”, “Shield AI”, “Kratos”, “Qualcomm”, “Analog Devices”, “Thermo Fisher Scientific”, “Illumina” and other US partners. 🎯 Three cities, four sector tracks, and dozens of purposefully prepared meetings – with the goal of creating new export deals, joint technology projects, and investment partnerships. 👉 Read more: https://t.co/TNF5VMP4c1 @Brivibas36 | @Arlietas | @AizsardzibasMin | @EM_gov_lv | @amchamlat #EUfunds #ESfondi #InvestEU #EUinmyregion #Latvia #USA #ASV #TradeMission #Business #Technology #Innovation #Investment #LIAA #Eksports

From@RaivisZeltitsJurģis Liepnieks yesterday recorded and published an extremely nervous string of words, which some consider an opinion. In it, without any surprises, he tried to frame other parties in his strange categories, to praise the yellow ball project 'Latvijas attīstībai'. For Liepnieks (and now brace yourselves) NA are nationalists, Vienotība are even bigger nationalists, therefore 'Austošā Saule Latvijai' turns out to be fascists. According to this new political division, we can assume that 'Progresīvie' are centrists, and Josifs Staļins is a social democrat. I would invite Liepnieks and other nervous Latvian political science and political technology fossils, such as Ostrovska, Rozenvalds, Ozoliņš, etc., to sit in a circle, where you could all throw yellow balls at each other and talk about where exactly 'Austošā Saule Latvijai' has offended you. Or repaint those balls red, put them on your noses, and continue your clown show to the historical trash heap. The fact that 500 patriots in Latvia can voluntarily unite in a self-organized and self-financed party doesn't even cross your mind – such neural pathways simply don't exist in your post-Soviet brains. Everything for you is a 'project', a 'formation', something 'detached' or another hallucination, because that's how you are used to making politics – with money, with PR-office plans, with sorting macaroni, from above, with approval of power. When we appear, hallucinations intensify, because there are no reference points – who are these people who dare to think for themselves, act themselves, and do? 35 years after the restoration of independence, you shame those who devote their free time and energy to engage in politics, and then you call yourselves Western, liberals, and whatever else. If any party in Latvian politics is superfluous, it is 'Latvijas attīstībai'. If you are for liberal values, then JV and other parties, if you are for free market, then there is MMN, if you are for everyone sleeping with everyone, but calling it a family, then there are 'Progresīvie'. 'Latvijas attīstībai' is needed only by Jaunups and maybe a couple of other people. Not even by your prime ministerial candidate, who is not running in the elections, i.e. does not risk his own skin for all this, because he knows it is safer to stay in the European Parliament. So juggle as much as you want, but the Covid years are not that old and everyone remembers that Attīstībai/Par ruined everything they touched – the territorial reform, energy, Covid restrictions, allowed the May 9 celebrations in 2022 during the war. You were the original 'Progresīvie' in this field. You had the chance to replace 'Jaunā Vienotība' – you ruined it. These are your last elections – ours are the first! P.s. were those balls bought with state-allocated party funding?

Ruskulis said that since the operation "Vilkatis" launched on August 11, a decrease has been observed in several indicators. Namely, both the number of illegal migrant attempts to cross the border and the number of illegal migrant smugglers have decreased. While previously four or five smugglers were usually detained per week, now it is one or two per week, Ruskulis noted https://t.co/E1pjim2DiE

⚠️ President Rinkēvičs did NOT convene the extraordinary Cabinet of Ministers meeting requested by our LPV. Prime Minister Kulbergs also did NOT convene an extraordinary government meeting. BUT TODAY THE Saeima DID ADOPT A DECISION - to reduce the excise tax on fuel from 1 October until the end of the year. Expected impact on price - approximately 8 cents per litre. QUESTION - WILL 8 CENTS PER LITRE CHANGE ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE? P.S. Let me remind you - we, LATVIA FIRST, addressed President Edgars Rinkēvičs with a call to convene an extraordinary Cabinet of Ministers meeting, so that the president, Prime Minister Kulbergs and ministers would sit at one table and decide on a much more substantial solution - abolishing the excise tax or reducing VAT at least until the end of the year. Then at the end of the year we look at what is happening on the world market and decide further.
