I congratulate @janisdombrava - the comprehensive immigration restriction plan has been adopted! The hundred conclusions of the Saeima investigative committee have been turned into concrete measures that now need to be implemented. Stricter supervision of legal migration and foreign students, prevention of illegal migration, orderly removal procedures and increased capacity of the internal affairs services. The plan has been adopted - that is very good! But an adopted plan is not yet an implemented plan. Now comes the most important part: implementation of the plan!
From@janisdombravaIt wasn't easy, but we did it! The comprehensive immigration restriction plan has been adopted! Work on the comprehensive immigration plan began already in the Saeima parliamentary investigation committee, where we identified problems in the migration system and prepared more than a hundred conclusions and recommendations. We continued this work at the Interior Ministry, turning the recommendations into concrete measures – from stricter control of legal migration and foreign students to more effective prevention of illegal migration, removal procedures and strengthening the capacity of internal affairs services. The review of the issue was postponed, there were objections and disagreements, but the most important thing is the result – the comprehensive immigration plan has been adopted! Now the most important thing is to ensure that the measures envisaged in the plan are also actually implemented.

From@ainarsgrieze@VPPzinas Yes, well such activity by @VL_TBLNNK is a big plus for @austsaule. Very good. Those percentages will pile up just like that.

@Ievaqwertyu @VPPzinas Are you a conservative woman?
From@Ievaqwertyu@VPPzinas Stop. Dalbiņš is pathologically chauvinistic; any conservatively minded person finds Dalbiņš’s strange attitudes toward women sickening.

Illustrative survey. Everything there is logically understandable. In politics, the bulk is grey, hopefully no objection to this? Well, if not, then let's look at the survey results. 68% of respondents say that those in power are either dishonest in the sense of mainly looking after their own pocket, or honest and incompetent. And both are absolutely right! The ABCs of economics are about every/any person thinking first of themselves. So inevitably all plumbers and all MPs also think first of themselves. Anyone. One may call that 'dishonest', but everyone thinks about their own wallet as a priority. Honest/dishonest/smart or not particularly. Anyone. That is why there is always broad support for any 'give me my money back' initiatives. That is also why referendums on taxes are not allowed anywhere. It is only about people's natural nature. Dishonest? Yes, perhaps, humanity could have differed more from monkeys. And 51% acknowledge this simple truth. Then another 17% of respondents say that people in power are not dishonest (relative to the evaluator himself). Just incompetent. That overlaps with the first - there really are very many incompetent ones, which accordingly means that they are left only to think about their salary. But what can they do, dear people? Well, if a poor fellow can't manage, then only the first remains - to claw up to a salary, as an MP or a night guard, and why not strive for the well-paid and non-backbreaking job of an MP? Who would choose to work more and receive less? Why wouldn't that monkey climb that tree? Humanly natural. The survey shows that 68% agree with me. The majority understands the basics. And who are that 5%? They are the politicians themselves (they like to bask on TV, have an elevated level of narcissism and therefore a grand opinion of themselves). Then let's add their relatives, and another part of society is the un-grown Origo children. Happy, at least some of them. And what then is that 14%? They are the Lucky Bear seekers. They don't understand that no one individually can exercise power in proportional democracy as would be possible in autocracy. Or in a presidential system (Argentina's Milei). But in a proportional democracy, where every post has its own boss and evaluation committee, one can only advance slowly and with heavy effort, gradually. But Lucky Bear seekers don't like that - where is my happiness, and already tomorrow, eh? 🙂
From@ArnisKaktinsIn the August WEB survey we repeated a question that has been asked many times. But I did not make a dynamics chart, because this time the respondent set is slightly different (1205 resp. Latvian citizens, 18+). The results are splendid and predictable in advance – only a few give appreciative assessments. #velesanas2026 https://t.co/arweVhsQ3F

The answers are “slippery”. Deputy candidates compete in eloquence over whether retaining compensation for deputies would be useful.
@DzelzsCilveks @andrievs @PolitiskiCitati Do you think it is normal to now, together with the Progressives, attack one person as a mob, when he has not committed any crime?
From@DzelzsCilveks@zuravlevs @andrievs @PolitiskiCitati The same applies to the one you are defending.

Official stresses need for Rīgas siltums to be managed by the capital municipality.
Reducing bureaucracy starts with a change in thinking and trust. The Ministry of Economics has already achieved a burden reduction of EUR 142 million. Today we added another EUR 0.4 million, allowing trading on one's own property without a municipal permit. It would be good if all ministers reduced the burden by an average of EUR 50 million within a year. https://t.co/SdSsY6UHt2

Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba called on countries to strengthen sanctions against Russia and Belarus and continue the international isolation of both countries. 🔗 Read more: https://t.co/s5wz4n5F1b 📸 Photo: MFA of Latvia
