It seems that Zemgale Regional Court judge Raimonds Rinčs may have beaten his wife – Jelgava City Council lawyer Lelde Rinča, even while drunk. And where is the Istanbul Convention? And why are all the Dombravas and Smiltēns so quiet, so quiet this time? And why aren't Beate's handbags crying? https://t.co/44gSlb7LeB
Vents needs help. To reduce injustice, at least here a bit more about LPV's founder and the bulldozer of 'new' ideas. Maybe Vents could be asked here on X to 'compliment' Šlesers' ability to found and leave parties? How many already? https://t.co/oF3TfgvNEthttps://t.co/4unoK293IM
I was at an expensive restaurant. Nearby sits Šteinbuka, who has been teaching for 20 years how to handle the state budget. When it's time to pay the bill, Šteinbuka pulls out a white envelope full of cash and pays the restaurant bill. https://t.co/pkLbz3ITgN
@kSukevics What did Linke promise to Berliners? The common feature there is disappointment in the ruling parties, which cannot keep promises. So, in protest, they vote more to the right or more to the left. If Merz remains chancellor, it will also be the same going forward.
I will note that it is television, a medium that makes ratings and earns money on shows like "Ērkšķiem", on unfortunate people with severe mental and psychiatric problems, women from whom 6 children have been taken away, a 19-year-old youth living with a 70-year-old in a garbage can, and similar madness. Such media should by now be absolutely last, in some 10-millionth place, to speak out about absolutely anything and evaluate absolutely anything.
Hysteria from the corrupt media! TV3's "Nothing Personal" made a long and pointless story about Šlesers and LPV, talking about some kind of illegal Šlesers campaign! The question arises: if the campaign was illegal, why hasn't KNAB imposed a fine on LPV or Šlesers? The answer is very simple: there was no illegality, because pre-election restrictions start on June 6, and Šlesers' advertising campaign took place in May. The disagreement between KNAB and LPV was about whether Šlesers was allowed to organize his individual campaign before June 6. KNAB decided to interpret the law rather oddly, saying that Šlesers is no longer a private person but a party! This KNAB opinion does not apply to other politicians from other parties, only to Šlesers, even though LPV has 2,000 members in total. A very strange KNAB ruling! LPV is today a party fighting for victory in the Saeima elections. Therefore, LPV decided not to waste its time on pointless litigation with KNAB during this pre-election period. LPV attracted private donations to the party and paid for Šlesers' individual campaign. Thus, there has been no violation of the law, but a disagreement that has been resolved! I call on TV3 not to mislead the public and not to spread false claims about the party LPV, which supposedly has committed violations. LPV has not committed any violations of the law!
Nothing probably illustrates better what “Progressive” in power means than Kaspars Briškens' career. A person has sucked out a million just in salary from the transport sector, was responsible for strategies, planning, held the ministerial post, but what is the result of the activity? Rail Baltica has become more expensive and is not being built, nothing more than the unnecessary pile in the Daugava and the station at the airport never came to be, they couldn't even finish designing and expropriating the land. Meanwhile, AirBaltic requested Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Hundreds of millions lost and squandered, another million spent on the salary of one “progressive” specialist, and in the end nothing is being built, everything becomes more expensive and goes bankrupt.
That is exactly why “Progressives” must never be allowed near power anywhere!

Russia's internal security service has announced a curfew and restrictions along part of its border with NATO member Estonia. Civilians have been banned from leaving villages after dark, boating on the Narva River, and hunting within 5km of the border. https://t.co/iInuthxsIG

A perfectly good and precise detailed plan, also mentioning the names of @Progresivie's second-echelon strivers. Adding to the author. No one says the Archer is bad. It's simply too expensive for us. Paraphrasing @AndrisKulbergs's quote: 'We want to ride in a Bentley, but the money is for a Škoda.' https://t.co/e3tiseneNd
We will tell the whole truth about @Progresivie's affair with the procurement of the artillery system 'Archer'. In a normal country @AndrisSpruds would have been in prison long ago, but here it's not customary.
About everything in order.
The NBS defines the need for newer and more modern artillery systems. Research takes place and NBS specialists recognize the Czech company's 'Morana' as the best and most advantageous.
What does Sprūds do? He makes the NBS opinion be reworked and under political pressure the Swedish 'Archer' is recognized as the 'best'. NBS commander Pudāns shows he is a weak rag and cannot resist the demands of the communist Sprūds. What will this commander do when the war starts?
Then Sprūds orders his minions in the ministry to prepare the necessary documents for an official decision. They are prepared by Sprūds's party's placements in the defense ministry - Uģis Norītis and Rolands Heniņš. Both are deputy state secretaries and loyal progressives. The ministry makes the decision and sends it to the Cabinet of Ministers, where it is also approved.
Why is the 'Archer' procurement unprofitable and even harmful for the Latvian state?
First, the price, which is disproportionately expensive. The Swedes could not even name a final price during these three years, but according to preliminary calculations, one artillery vehicle would have to be paid well over 10 million euros, and that is an inadequate sum. In the end, the procurement of artillery vehicles would be well over 100 million euros. Moreover, the costs of maintenance, training and the artillery shells themselves are not yet known. Together it would be well over 100 million euros.
Secondly, deadlines. The Swedes are still NOT able to deliver 'Archer'. Possibly it would only be after several years, but Latvia needs it NOW. The Swedes wanted to palm off the old 6x6 'Archer' to Latvia, while they would produce the needed 8x8 vehicles after many years. An absolutely unprofitable deal.
Thirdly, ammunition. The 155mm artillery ammunition (NATO standard) available to the NBS is NOT suitable for 'Archer'. It would have to be bought from those same Swedes for many millions of euros, because it is specific ammunition suitable ONLY for 'Archer' vehicles. Again a completely unprofitable deal.
Fourthly, industry. Latvia requires that part of the artillery vehicles be produced in Latvia (similar to 'Patria'), but the Swedes cannot ensure that. Thus, Latvia's economic benefit from this deal is a complete zero. Unprofitable.
'Progresīvie' whine that these artillery vehicles have 'proven themselves' in Ukraine. That's nonsense. Yes, the Swedish government donated 'Archer' to the Ukrainian army and they were, of course, accepted, because Ukrainian forces lack armor. The Ukrainian army said they would not buy such vehicles with their own money because they are too expensive and have many flaws. The Ukrainians themselves can produce 'Bogdana' artillery vehicles, which are not worse and are many times cheaper.
'Progresīvie' say that Latvia must buy the Swedish 'Archer' because Swedish soldiers are 'protecting' Latvia.
'Progresīvie' lie again. The Swedes have sent to Latvia a pathetic number of soldiers with even more pathetic combat equipment. In reality, Latvia is protecting Sweden, because when Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, the Swedes wet their pants and quickly ended their hypocritical 'neutrality' and joined NATO. The Swedes sent a small contingent to Latvia for form's sake. Then, when the big s--- from Russia will start, Latvia will take the first blow and we will be the ones protecting Sweden.
Swedish defense minister Paul Jonson's wailing is completely unnecessary and this corrupt politician did not use the opportunity to keep quiet. Sweden would be better off thinking how to reform its dilapidated army, which consists of ONLY ~7000 professional soldiers (including various accountants, secretaries, guards and headquarters loafers).
An important note about so-called strategic intergovernmental cooperation. In 1946, the Swedish government handed over 132 Latvian legionnaires to the USSR, who were then taken to USSR death camps and KGB prisons. The Swedes have already betrayed the Latvians once, and you can be sure - when the Russians try to come in here again, the soft Swedes will be the first to wet their pants and run home.
Strategic cooperation is built on trusting relationships, but the Swedes have not proven they are reliable allies.
All this shows how harmful 'Progresīvie' are to the Latvian state. These people lie, sabotage and undermine the Latvian state at every step.
Watching the 'Top 7' parties' Prime Minister candidate debates - no political force wants to give up deputy compensations.
The National Alliance is the most adamant about them. Overall, everyone just promises that they need to 'think about it'.
Yes, of course... until the next elections!
More participants have taken part in the Staburags portal poll today than in @ArnisKaktins' poll, where 1,200 people answered.
The party @austsaule is the 2nd most popular!
@lsmlv, based on one narrow poll, excludes from the debates. Also @JKP_partija.
THIS IS AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY! https://t.co/NOTL8XPssx

I don't see that you've answered what you'll vote for?
Then I'll tell you about your choice :)))
More losses worth hundreds of millions to the state and sabotage of Latvia's national security? Will you vote for that?
@zuravlevs@SlesersAinars Moreover, how people speak in their family is each person's private business. On the other hand, Latvians in Latvia do not need to speak and know the language of a Russian family and of the Russian Federation. https://t.co/spljhpHcOy
