🤦🏻♂️ Aleksejevs couldn’t read the judge’s secretary’s surname. But he did manage to demonstrate his chauvinism at the highest level. 🥃 Jurijs Aleksejevs, the vatnik who fled to Minsk, is apparently drinking a lot of cheap, low-quality alcohol, since his eyesight has gotten so bad that he can’t properly read the judge’s secretary’s surname. 👩⚖️ Aleksejevs received a real prison sentence in the first criminal case, and now a second case is being heard. And that gives Jurijs plenty of time to display one of the most characteristic features of Russian chauvinism — mocking the surnames of the peoples who live next to Muscovy. It’s a tradition every self-respecting vatnik must follow. 🤷🏻♂️ I’d like to point out that propagandist Aleksejevs’s mother was Latvian, which he himself constantly talks about. That means he even got his Latvian citizen’s passport automatically and had not the slightest reason, even an invented one, to take offence at Latvia. ❌ But vatniks have no nationality, so Jurijs, in between working for two Belarusian propaganda outlets, considers it acceptable to laugh at and distort Latvian surnames, despite his own origins. 🥸 Aleksejevs says he only attends court out of curiosity. By the way, in his place I wouldn’t be so sure that Lukashenko won’t hand him over to Latvia. His regime isn’t eternal, and it isn’t yet known on what terms the war in Ukraine will end or whether the mustachioed cockroach will start licking the West’s boots again, claiming he was just Putin’s hostage. ⚠️ And then all sorts of little gifts could come in very handy. Another question is whether we’ll need them at all and whether we’ll demand their extradition. 🙈 And it won’t hurt to remind you what Aleksejevs himself looks like. Here is the “beauty” — an appearance that inspires great trust, as he himself likes to say. By the way, in case anyone has forgotten: Frankenstein wasn’t some monster — it was the surname of the scientist described in English writer Mary Shelley’s novel, who created a creature similar to Aleksejevs. ❓ What do you think — will we even demand people like Aleksejevs back when such an opportunity arises? Or let them rot in their new homeland? P.S. The prosecutor demanded an 8-year prison sentence and 2 years of probation supervision for Jurijs Aleksejevs. #vatņiki #tiesa #Aleksejevs #propaganda #lukašenko
From@MaratQasem❗️ When Guščins was released, the vatniks suddenly remembered judicial independence. Before that, they had been writing for years that Latvia had no independent courts. 😱 It should be noted that public outrage over the change of security measure for Viktors Guščins seriously alarmed his support group among Latvia’s vatniks. They began frantically flipping through articles of the Constitution and demanding an end to pressure on the court! 🫣 Of course, these pro-Kremlin activists are surprising creatures — they themselves spend all day writing that Latvia has no independent court and that everything has already been decided in advance, but then, of course, only when it suits them, they start trying to shut up patriotically minded forces. 🤷🏻♂️ So, in their distorted view, only vatniks may criticize courts, while everyone else in their own country must behave quietly. 👩⚖️ Of course, no one interfered with the work of the court, and Guščins’s case will continue to be heard next February. However, the criticism was not directed at the judge who will hear the case on the merits, but at the lady who changed the security measure for this scoundrel. 😎 In a democratic state, civil society has the right to ask questions and criticize court decisions! 🤯 Alla Berezovska’s channel even started modelling a scenario in which the judge Dzērviniece herself could fall under suspicion, although my publication did not contain a single word about it. These people were seriously agitated, and apparently they (or their masters) have reasons for that which I do not know. 🤔 I truly don’t understand why vatniks should be worried about the possibility that a Latvian judge’s phone conversations could be lawfully intercepted? What do you think could be revealed there, and where did they even get the idea that someone is planning to do it? Do you have any versions? ❓ What do you think — where did their zeal to defend the independence of Latvia’s courts come from? #vatņiki #LatvijasTiesa #Guščins #Satversme #VDD

The Finance Minister worked on this slide about budget expenditure for four months. The government has not been able to prepare a single concrete possible action for reducing expenditure. This is not even at 'headline level'. There is complete emptiness here. https://t.co/tKhAGzBO2j

Then you probably haven't read a single bill. Just go to the portal and see how much there is. About anything, from beetles to the finer points of taxes. Read it, then think about whether you yourself would understand any of it. When you gather barmen, shopkeepers and other good people, how many of them know a thing about all that? When it comes to finances, in each case practically maybe a few. And there all election promises disappear. It's like being given a mandate and at the same time breaking a Swiss watch — here, take it, fix it now! And then as a deputy you realize — I am Zariņš! There were two of them, never once stepped up to the rostrum. And then next time in the Saeima the Zariņšes are replaced by Bērziņšes. Not a clue. What competence, then?
From@DeffoPro@guntarsv I wouldn't call anyone there incompetent anymore. They are all very competent at stealing, incitement, and Satanism. They do their job very well!

«Re:check» checks: National Alliance's prime ministerial candidate Indriksone misleads about the EU Green Deal
From@lindberga22I’ll say honestly — inside I’m boiling from this injustice. While the state funds Russian theatres in Latvia and various Russian and Belarusian associations, caring about the culture of foreign peoples, it simply spits on its own Latvian children. How can there be such a cruel attitude towards children who have already suffered? These children have been removed from their families. They have already been betrayed... And then comes the state, which should be that safe support, but it cannot even provide care for children in their native — Latvian — language. How can there be such a cretinous attitude towards one’s own people? How?! The state continues to operate in the finest Soviet traditions and, without the slightest remorse, has provided a Russification camp for Latvian children. Are you really so soft that you cannot find workers who speak Latvian? Or is this a deliberate step? And this is yet another glaring proof of how deep the state administration has sunk into degradation and destruction. The inability to lead and manage processes is all too obvious. While the state generously squanders budget funds, financing from SIF the “integration” of immigrants on the basis of the Russian language and studies about how Wolt and Bolt couriers feel, Latvian children are left in such a situation. In this care centre, the annual budget per child is less than 200 euros!!! Seriously??? Explain to me how such people can run a state? How can there be such neglect of one’s own country, people and children? In my view, this is a crime... Forgive me, but all the old Soviet-style models of governance and of robbing the state, and those who maintain them, must go into the rubbish heap of history!!! And stop once and for all talking nonsense that there is no money for the state! You have no conscience! It simply cannot continue like this!!!

Andis Kudors: provocations from Russia on election day are very likely
From@hansa_lvJust a few years ago, Šlesers (LPV) was putting Stepaņenko forward as a candidate for the presidency. You don't even want to imagine what would have happened if his plan had been realized.

From@rsheremeThis is truly a great man. He has invested more in Ukraine than 185 countries combined. Meet Howard Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son. He is 71 years old. He dropped out of college three times. He drinks Dr Pepper and looks for a McDonald’s wherever he travels. Since the beginning of the war, his foundation has become the largest private donor to Ukraine: $1.4 billion. Over four years, he has personally visited Ukraine 27 times. In April 2022, he saw burned-out agricultural machinery and called the president of John Deere: “How many combines are available in Europe?” “Fifteen. All of them were supposed to go to Russia.” “I’ll take them all.” Then came all the available New Holland equipment in Europe. Altogether, more than 100 tractors and combines were provided to Ukrainian farmers. He even tested demining equipment himself - on his own farm in Illinois, detonating explosives beneath rollers. When a Ukrainian deputy minister expressed doubts, Buffett told him: “Stop counting my tractors. If necessary, I’ll blow up a thousand of them.” Andriy Stavnitser initially asked him for $1 million for Superhumans. Buffett asked how much was needed to build the entire center. “$14 million.” “Okay. And what do you expect in return?” “Nothing. Build it.” Today, his support for Superhumans has reached $77 million, and the center has treated more than 1,700 patients. But his largest area of spending is neither agricultural machinery nor prosthetics. It is food: 642 million meals. And that is only part of it: * 344,000 windows replaced after Russian attacks; * 9 bridges, 4 power plants, 2,500 generators, and 18 DNA laboratories; * Much of Bucha rebuilt with his funding. “I already have more friends in Ukraine than I do at home,” he says. He celebrates birthdays in Ukraine, comes for Christmas, and even has a Ukrainian godson. Friends, this is truly a great man - someone who understands that he cannot take all his money with him when he leaves this world. I simply want to thank him and wish him well. Whatever else one may say, this is real help from a person who had no personal obligation to Ukraine. He simply chose to help. Source: translated from the original text by Oleh Bairak.
