Internal affairs and defense services are shoulder to shoulder learning to protect our country!
In other years I have participated in the military exercise "Namejs" as a National Guard soldier. This year I am an observer, to see how effectively internal affairs services (firefighters, border guards and police) can work together with the Latvian army and allied forces.
The exercises are still ongoing. Let us support our people who are working to ensure our country is safe.
I understand that the security situation in Latvia is more stable than in Lithuania, Poland and even France, and both Macron and Tusk may be panicking a bit. But if even the Lithuanians know that if “everything breaks down”, they have routes towards the Polish corridor, what corridors do we have here in Latvia, including for the residents of Riga? How will people learn about them and when? Which radio frequency will we need to listen to? What will be the action scenario if the Suwałki Corridor is nevertheless closed? Will it be Kurzeme Cauldron 2, only this time for ourselves? And this is not about fleeing, but about the planned evacuation of that part of society that will need to be protected from hostilities. I know what I will do and what I must do, but there is a part of society for whom this is not clear. Communication with the public by @edgarsrinkevics and @AndrisKulbergs from the services no longer seems sufficient, because the claim that “the security situation is unchanged” no longer correlates with statements by other national leaders. I believe @nbskomandieris that the NBS is ready for provocations, but society itself must also be ready for these provocations. Leaders of other countries now speak not only of drone but also of “missile incidents”, and that is something new, because missiles have a completely different radius of destruction and consequences. It must be brought to public awareness that the situation has changed, and it must be ready for these new changes. Ready with faith in its State.
The storm at the end of August showed that @austsaule and @lindberga22 were right - Anita Brauna at LSM is a huge mistake.
During the storm, the media broadcast old recordings - at a time when there was no water, electricity even for hospitals.
What will we do if war starts? Brauna will sit in the countryside, silent? @seplpadomehttps://t.co/Z08WxXiWj4
@akmens Nationalists must cooperate in a coordinated manner, and currently this means sacrificing ASL's 2% that would provide state funding, in favor of such a number of NA mandates that would significantly increase the chance to form a coalition both without Šlesers and without Pro!
@AndrisVelps@therealneymann RD didn't have the opportunity to form a coalition without both Šlesers and Pro, and you, unfortunately, are currently doing everything possible so that there isn't one in the Saeima either.
@cikvarnest@Fertelis ASL is for stopping migration! No controlled or uncontrolled - stopping and departure of those who have already arrived! In this regard, ASL is the only one! https://t.co/NounsrwMjC
The question is about one's own priorities. Besides reducing migration, MMN's priority is to reduce the state budget deficit, so that in the long run payments on national debt would decrease and more money would remain for themselves. Also, to make hospitals focus on treatment quality, not just the number of procedures. ASL is also for restricting migration.
Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba met with Stanford University 🇺🇸 students to discuss Latvia's foreign policy priorities, security in the Baltic region and Latvia's 🇱🇻 experience in countering Russian disinformation and hybrid threats.
A great, dynamic and substantive exchange of views with the bright minds of Stanford University 🧠

@io7246 If the majority of society thinks that there is no point in voting for the party they want to vote for, then there is no point in elections. Exactly such rhetoric as you spread undermines the current electoral system (its functioning in Latvian society).
ASL and MMN's goal is 2% - because it would give the opportunity to claim your tax money. Unfortunately, unlike the elected, they themselves perfectly understand that 5% is not in the cards. https://t.co/0ytShxTXsv
Discrimination against same-sex couples has nothing to do with protecting the institution of marriage. Marriage is a different kind of set. With functional requirements, societal expectations, and an appropriate, defined place of honor in society. Other unions with lesser demands on participants and lesser obligations to society may choose a different name.
Question to "167 internet trolls". What to vote for? At least one of these parties needs to be in the Saeima. Maybe both will be, maybe you have to flip a coin - heads - MMN, tails - AS? How about agreeing on one? Which would you be? 🤔 https://t.co/lxYcQMXr7t
@liana_langa How can I feel safe and build a family in Latvia if progressive people turn their backs on me and bring in aggressive migrants from foreign nations who could kill me and my children?
For the young generation without the foundations of Western civilization and culture, the Istanbul Convention is in place of the Bible. The zombified... 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
While some panic, others get up in the morning on a day off to be ready to defend Latvia! With angry/overly clever posts on social media alone won't be enough, you also need to act!!! https://t.co/TbOgYMarUu
Cheating voters after elections is a classic of politics, BUT... this time one party has managed to cheat its potential voters BEFORE the elections. Congratulations to all the winners! https://t.co/ou5Mv3Jo4N
Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba met with US President's Special Envoy for Belarus Affairs John Cole to discuss ways to reduce and prevent the instrumentalization of migration carried out by the Belarusian regime, which threatens the external border of the EU 🇪🇺 and NATO and regional security.
💬 “The Belarusian regime continues to use people as an instrument to exert pressure on Latvia and the European Union. This is not just a migration issue – it is part of Russia's war doctrine to weaken allied unity, place additional strain on our State Border Guard, and threaten the security of the EU and NATO borders,” said B. Braže.

The U.S. Department of State has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Ukraine for purchase of Air Defense Development Upgrades and related equipment and services. The estimated total cost is $2.68 billion.
It will improve Ukraine’s capability to meet current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and regional security missions with a more robust air defense capability.

NBS constantly monitors the security situation, closely cooperating with allied intelligence and security institutions. The threat level in Latvia and the region has not changed. The situation assessment is updated daily, not only in response to individual events.
We are prepared for provocations. Comprehensive national defence exercises 'Namejs' are taking place in Latvia, also involving allied units. Meanwhile, Operation 'Vilkatis' continues in eastern Latvia, and NATO air policing will be reinforced for the Saeima elections.
This weekend, at the NATO Military Committee in Copenhagen, we will discuss the Alliance's joint response to potential future diversions and sabotage attempts.
