Four years ago today, Mahsa Amini was killed by the morality police of the Iranian regime. Killed at age 22 for a badly adjusted veil. For wanting to live free. Her death gave rise to a cry that crossed Iran and the world: Woman, Life, Freedom A cry that the bloody repression of the Iranian regime will not manage to extinguish. France does not forget Mahsa Amini. It stands alongside Iranian women and men who legitimately aspire to justice and dignity. They must be able to freely decide their future. Their fundamental rights must be respected. Woman, Life, Freedom زن، زندگی، آزادی

It is incredibly alarming that @NHL and @Capitals have allowed Alexander Ovechkin to appear in a campaign advertisement supporting the party of war criminal Putin. American hockey fans deserve better leadership from their star players! https://t.co/gTjU3xXUjZ

Very correct action from the Minister of Justice @EdvardsSmiltens This kind of situation is not acceptable in elections https://t.co/ujJUbSK5uj

A candidate for the office of Prime Minister of Latvia must not have hundreds of thousands of euros of unclear origin from Russia. Jūlija Stepaņenko has declared monetary and real estate donations from her father living in Russia worth 419,598.05 euros, but refuses to explain the origin of the funds. Therefore, I have turned to KNAB, VDD, SAB, and FID, calling for verification of the origin of the funds, possible foreign influence, and whether the money was used to finance party activities or pre-election campaigning. If funding from Russia has been indirectly channeled to the party, there is also grounds to consider possible criminal liability. A person who aspires to lead the Latvian government must provide the public with clear and verifiable answers. Latvia's political independence and national security are not a private matter. There must be no unanswered questions here.

Comrade Stepaņenko is, of course, a mud-slinger. However, the Ministry of Justice has NEVER, in any connection, been troubled by the declarations of a single official. That the gloomy Eddy now resorts to such methods once again confirms—the United List is the same cancer as Unity. Remember that at the elections—or don't be surprised.

@GintsVilgerts @B03091315B If I'm not mistaken, it was ~€480 that I paid, but there were options.

@AndrisKulbergs @B03091315B Andris, this is not a Prime Minister level question, but I would gladly contact the Saeima chancellery to understand at what price and with what coverage MPs can purchase these policies as a result of the procurement. You have more important things to do. Good luck!

Please show where this government spent 30 million € for AB? There was no such thing. The road transport issue needs to be resolved, it's yet another messed-up soup, which was mixed and built with a cartelized event by T.Linkaitis. He kicked it forward and did not solve it; PRO Briškens, Švinka tried but did not fix it. Kozlovskim has been tasked to bring a long-term solution by mid-October.

Stepaņenko wants to lead the country. But about the money and apartment gifted by his father in Russia worth almost €420,000 - “with what right?” About Crimea - praising the team. About Russian threats - no answer. And we are the bad ones that we “don't let [them] answer.” https://t.co/vFxpt4FicI

“Even in the long history of Latvia's existence, the industry itself has not thought about how to organize the environment in which they work. Up to such cases that touch on the question of who is even allowed to treat a child,” said Maija Āboliņa, a member of the State Audit Office board, on the program #Today'sQuestion.
