🛡️How would the New Unity team act in a crisis situation when decisions need to be made quickly?
📌In the pre-election game “Hour X in Silgale” of “Forbidden Technique”, the New Unity team tests its ability to respond to a complex security situation at the border.

✅ During today's Saeima State Administration and Municipalities Committee meeting, I drew the attention of those present to the fact that the Vanšu Bridge reconstruction contractor SIA “Tilts” has so far widely used third-country labour. For example, it brought in many Uzbek citizens for the construction of the 4th stage of the Southern Bridge. ❗️One of Riga City Council's tasks will be to do everything to ensure that the reconstruction of the Vanšu Bridge does not cause a new influx of third-country citizens. #ImigrācijaiNēReimigrācijaiJā
A citizen of Uzbekistan detained on suspicion of inducing minors to engage in sexual activities
Last Friday, 18 September, officials of the State Police's Riga Region Administration detained a citizen of Uzbekistan born in 1998 at one of Riga's shopping centres, who had approached underage girls and offered them money to engage in sexual activities. Two underage girls have been recognised as victims in the criminal proceedings, and the suspect has been remanded in custody. The investigation in the criminal proceedings continues.
No tolerance for such criminals.
The decision to reduce the fuel price by 20 cents is wrong in more ways than I have time to list; here are only the main ones.
- In this way the government says that it takes responsibility for fluctuations in world market prices, making a promise for the future that will be impossible to keep, given demographic trends, etc. A problem has been created where there was none.
- There is no purchasing power crisis in Latvia. Even three euros per litre would be a lower fuel price relative to incomes than it was in 2011–2013. The state needs to intervene when fundamental rights and basic needs are threatened. With a plausible ~5% inflation at the end of the year, overall purchasing power will be the same as it was at the end of last year. Only a temporary halt in purchasing power growth after a rapid rise in the previous three years is threatened.
- A fiscally neutral reduction in fuel taxes is impossible. Rising import costs have already reduced consumer spending on other goods and hence tax revenues from them; moreover, the state itself is a large buyer of fuel. Higher VAT revenues due to rising fuel prices do not compensate for that. The budget deficit is already rather too large; there is no need to panic about it, but one must be careful.
- Such a decision sends the wrong signal to car buyers, encouraging choices that will cost them more in the future, and will also hinder the achievement of climate policy goals, which in turn can cost the state dearly.

Minister of Smart Administration and Regional Development Edgars Tavars (AS) said that yesterday he had received the final report of the election platform project management group stating that all critical work in the system has been completed and critical infrastructure sections have been tested https://t.co/Xu9Dp26hUe
“Without a common solution to fuel price reduction, we will not be competitive with our neighbors,” Minister of Agriculture Uldis Augulis (ZZS) said in an interview on “Rīta Panorāma”, noting that in his opinion the right solution would be a VAT reduction. 🖥️ https://t.co/BoHLxxDc3Fhttps://t.co/Y3OJJM3fPl
Because of Kulbergs, banks 'hit' companies that import and/or export goods to and from Russia and Belarus, Stepaņenko believes. https://t.co/30p92DBt5m

What are @Jauna_Vienotiba's core values? What lies behind the words European way of life, democracy, rule of law, responsible governance? https://t.co/t745d7lDIG
A great opportunity for Latvia to make history - due to the pre-election posing of the daughter of the secretary of the October district communist party @Braze_Baiba, soon all fascist Russian oligarchs and other scum can slip away, because the sanctions will simply expire.... Braže had many weeks to work behind the scenes - but no, she had to pose everywhere in ZS uniform, stand in @Jauna_Vienotiba pre-election tents, etc. The only thing she has truly managed is to put the prime minister @AndrisKulbergs and all of Latvia under threat....👿🤡
A brilliant political career for a guy... who struggles to read! This Somali, Mohamed Abdukardir Ali, has mobilized Somalis in Sweden and thus, with the help of personal votes/648 crosses, has been elected to the Swedish parliament. He has large debts to the Swedish Enforcement Authority and is unemployed. Swedish citizenship was granted to him 7 months ago during the "right-wing" wing government. You must be incredibly stupid to believe that he will represent Swedish interests in parliament. And he is "left-wing"! https://t.co/uGpUtmBbLv
Representatives of misandry (hatred of men) usually also advocate infanticide (killing of infants in mothers' wombs); perhaps correlations can be found in these expressions of social madness. https://t.co/z3D1OeMELM
