Latvian Political Monitor

The Border Guard reports that the Uzbeks who tormented a swan are out of Latvia!

Andris Kulbergs is determined to “put the country in order,” but he is in no rush to choose coalition partners. A government adviser reveals how “bloody” the budget cut plans being worked on are. 🔗 https://t.co/9uPeQq8Mfy https://t.co/XVcpze4Fua

@hellikopters @normundsbergs Being polished isn't a bad thing. I even said it's very good if an employee can think outside the box. But the important thing is to work toward a common goal, not sabotage it.

The leadership of LDDK and LTRK is more active at the political level, and this experience will certainly be very useful, because reaching agreement between ministries is often a matter of a political nature. The concerns are about the ability to manage civil servants, especially in circumstances where the set goals are the reduction of the civil service itself, and very fierce resistance, delay and many different tactics can be expected, which need to be proactively recognized and eradicated.

@tviters007 Nothing has been published about Israel in the official communication channel of the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday. https://t.co/uhPxGLf1Hg

Unfortunately, I have observed several episodes where a person writes a false explanation of their actions instead of immediately admitting it, and at that point KNAB no longer has any evidence. This devalues the very meaning of punishment and the rule of law. If someone does not sort this out quickly, the consequences will be growth of the shadow economy and increased emigration - and, in turn, even greater pressure on the state budget.

Respect to Gorkšs! But I would rather have seen him continue his work at LDDK. In turn, for the head of the State Chancellery, experience specifically in state administration is very important. Because, for example, when you have to chair the meeting of state secretaries and you are faced with 13 of the most experienced and polished civil servants in state administration, who will know 101 reasons why something cannot be done, then a political mandate or emotions alone will not be enough. One must have a very high-level knowledge of the legislation in each field in order to effectively lead such ministry leaders. If the idea is that Gruškevics will actually run the most difficult reforms somewhere behind the scenes, then let him come himself and also head the State Chancellery.

Respect to Gorkšs – he really could have successfully continued his work at LDDK. However, the question is still about specific experience. For example, when you have to chair a meeting of state secretaries and across from you sit about 20 of the most polished and experienced officials in the state, who will know 101 reasons why something cannot be done, then political framing or emotions alone will not be enough. One must know the legislation of every field at a very high level in order to effectively lead such ministry leaders. If the idea is that Gruškevics will actually run the most difficult reforms somewhere behind the scenes, then let him come himself and also head the State Chancellery.

Exactly! 😀👍 https://t.co/p68zCcJ5cI https://t.co/6daRzfg7Cf

While the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed support for Israel on 7 October and mentioned the massacre carried out by Palestinian terrorists, the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed no support. We can draw our own conclusions.
