Kulbergs: Latvia will demand an additional 7 billion euros for the eastern flank in the EU budget

The little balsam with the ZZS list number comes under KNAB's scrutiny

While European great powers convene their political leaders to inform about the real situation and the threats of Russia's military invasion, in Latvia this is an ordinary Friday with shortened working hours in state institutions. That's just how it is. Nothing to worry about, tomorrow is Saturday after all.

Come to the real world in Jūrmala. Young Latvians bow in Russian to a Russian youth. And the choice of English for young people is also a direct consequence of the crime of Russification in Latvia, which has planted the idea in some people that the Latvian language is not a value. Parents are Russified, children - Anglicized. Russification is a problem. Many Latvians rushed to defend the Russian language against Latvian. It looks like you are doing something similar! Not so directly, but you are!

If anyone thinks that after the start of possible Russian attacks on Latvia, Rinkēvičs, Siliņa, Sprūds, Šuvajevs will feel even a little guilty before the public for criminal inaction - forget it, they have had no humility and no desire to serve Latvians.

KNAB became interested in the fact that ZZS gave black balsam to elderly people.

@B03091315B That is the least they can do to save their own asses. The worst part is that as a result of these bastards' actions, children and old people will suffer.

What did Braže discuss with the US special envoy? https://t.co/2zDc60hvJM

When Lato Lapsa wrote about three months ago that all electricity substations should be surrounded with anti-drone nets, many here snickered and laughed. Have you bought candles, generators, and firewood?

Dear @Ryanair, Ryanair rented a ballroom to announce two aircraft and Riga as this year’s “winner”. It seems their scratch cards have finally made their way from the cabin to the strategy department. But their own announcement makes the point better than we could. Riga has “won” this year’s round. Tallinn and Vilnius have won previous ones – and their reward this winter is a 25% capacity cut. That exposes the paradox at the heart of Ryanair’s proposal: long-term investment cannot be re-auctioned every year. A commitment that has to be won again each season – at an ever lower price – is not much of a commitment. The Baltics need reliable, long-term connectivity, not an annual auction to see who is prepared to offer the cheapest landing. That is a difficult model to call a long-term connectivity strategy. https://t.co/aOZJYQOxlB

KNAB will evaluate ZZS's gifts of black balsam to seniors.

📣 The National Alliance advocates for the actual liquidation of the SIF, because it is obvious and clear that in its current form the SIF has exhausted itself. ❌️The Society Integration Foundation has generously spent funding, but has brought no integration to our society. Only those who themselves wish to integrate can be integrated into society. That means – learning the state language, genuinely fitting into the Latvian cultural space and information space, understanding Latvia's history and today's realities. That means – becoming a loyal citizen of Latvia. That means – in the hybrid war that Russia and Belarus are waging against us, to side with the Latvian state, not with the aggressor state. That means: if necessary, defending the Latvian state. ‼️Research shows that only about 10% of those Latvian residents whose family language is Russian are ready to militarily defend Latvia if necessary, and only about 18%, when talking about Russia's aggression against Ukraine, side with Ukraine. These data may indicate millions spent, but not achieved results in the field of integration. 📍At the same time, the National Alliance believes that social integration projects, which also receive EU funding, should be continued. A very small institution or agency could continue to do this. #SIF #integration #Ukraine #Latvia @Nacionālā

@virsnoudens I'm not saying there is no plan, but I would like to hear specialists' speculations about such a plan. NATO is an alliance of states, which means each state is subject to existing policy. Slovakia announced it would not fight in the case of Article 5.
