🇱🇻 The State Security Service has warned the person who, in a video published online, while physically next to the minister on Matīsa Street, discussed planning an attack on the Minister of Foreign Affairs @Braze_Baiba, about the inadmissibility of a criminal offence. Thanks to @Valsts_drosiba for the work! https://t.co/gccG1a2aSA https://t.co/vKdMUHvrFN

@Dzintris @jautaprovince Mistakes happen - that's a minor thing. I mentioned it more for the record. But we do like donations - we'd like more to do more, but the situation with responsiveness is as seen in the image.

@jautaprovince Raivis is right, I looked carelessly, for which I apologize. BUT - this brings up 2 things - MMN's whining that 'no money, no money' becomes even weirder...where is the limit when there 'is money'. And in Raivis's objection I sense the classic note that 'poverty is good'...who said that

Latvia introduced its own sanctions against usmanov, and nobody else! NOBODY ELSE!

🙏 “We thank our Latvian and other EU colleagues for the principled positions they have voiced in recent days on maintaining sanctions pressure on Russia”. https://t.co/2jAvZnPlsB

As Russia intensifies its attacks on Ukraine, pressure on Moscow must increase. This applies in particular to those who enable Russia’s aggression and those who benefit from it. Their names must remain on sanctions lists for as long as Russia continues its war. There must be no weakening of sanctions against Russia. Sanctions must be maintained and strengthened until Moscow engages in serious peace negotiations and takes concrete steps to end its aggression. We thank our Latvian and other EU colleagues for the principled positions they have voiced in recent days on maintaining sanctions pressure on Russia.

I just had a positive and productive meeting with President Trump @POTUS at UNGA. Both the U.S. and Ukraine want to see this senseless Russian war ended before winter. We discussed potential de-escalatory steps that can open up the way to diplomacy. I am grateful that in the meantime our teams keep working on launching Patriot interceptor production in Ukraine. This is what will help protect lives, should Russia spurn the negotiations and keep betting on ballistic missile terror against our people this winter and beyond. We also discussed other bilateral and multilateral issues, including a winter package of air defense for Ukraine. I thank President Trump, his team, and all the American people for their support.

Well, grandchildren come to visit him, and his children also visit him, which he boasts about on social media, so he probably won't lose much here. But regarding the standard of living and quality in his new country, you are absolutely right. Moreover, Aleksejevs is not a poor man and is used to living beautifully and well.

@MaratQasem That shit has punished itself no worse than the Latvian judicial system could. He'll die in his beloved sovok, away from family, children, and not seeing his grandchildren grow up in person. But in his Russian world.

For clarity - what Latvia will continue to freeze in the cases of Usmanov and Fridman. For the former - only the money of companies under his control in banks. For Fridman: both his own and company money in banks, plus real estate in Jūrmala. The FID does not say how much money each has in banks. https://t.co/ECWDCMgFGF https://t.co/Y1n0nMiD9Z

Look, Paris needs those oligarchs out, look, we can't be the last ones in the Union against, look, Brussels doesn't allow reducing VAT. At this pace, in a week we'll hear that the Green Deal is actually a great opportunity for Latvia's economy. Life in opposition is still much easier, isn't it? :)

Summary after the @KNL_LTV1 program about airBaltic's future: In the best case, the state simply loses control over the company. In the medium-bad scenario, we as a state also pay extra out of our own pockets to realize this same "best" scenario. Whereas the most realistic and at the same time worst outcome - airBaltic has actually been flushed down the toilet. For all this, one big "thank you" goes to the ruling parties so far and their years-long stewardship.

It looks like Mrs. Bāne and Mrs. Plūme have also saddled @guntarsv and now he can be dealt with however one wants😎 But that's nothing new, somehow they manage to do this with almost all the “reformers” who end up in that house…. https://t.co/7468lGMTaZ

“We cannot leave an empty table for the next government,” Finance Minister Māris Kučinskis (AS) said on the programme “Rīta panorāma”. The expenditure review process has ended, and three scenarios have been drawn up to be left for the new government, the minister indicated.

That day has come - I can agree, but from the opposite flank. The left are at least open about their policy and shamelessly push it, but check the values of the 'conservative' parties so that you don't get screwed on October 4. https://t.co/lvDl8vu9ao https://t.co/jrRq4Fx6ff

That's what happens when a party really has no values, and in every debate everyone (including the prime minister) answers by adapting to the audience and the phase of the moon. Let's be careful with 'cats in a bag'. This way on October 4 you can wake up with all sorts of surprises. https://t.co/7zYrfuZS2g
