The drug addict borrowed another two billion at the expense of other children's future, squandered them, and then found a bought piece of garbage who is ready to compose a song of praise for such an “economic upswing”.

Look at that... maybe Šlesers and the parties at https://t.co/eclzoXcQS9 won't be right about the economic stagnation in Latvia. It's important that the 3% economic growth in Latvia is not now spoiled by new/old bureaucracy like the Architecture law draft and similar things. https://t.co/rDu1kIIgFR

Can it happen that Stepaņenko is arrested for supporting terrorism and laundering Russian money? It is starting to show a fate like Ždanoka's. https://t.co/8EmcnM9gRG

Such censorship of reality is unacceptable and distorts the truth. I believe that people who gave such orders to employees must be held accountable, as well as officials who carried out such actions. If officials do not cooperate with the investigation, they must be dismissed. 3/3

The Latvian Saeima and the Cabinet of Ministers have degraded so far that the office of the Speaker of the Saeima or the office of the Prime Minister can demand the deletion (censorship) of any video material officially recorded by Saeima or Cabinet cameras, if it displeases the leadership. 1/2 https://t.co/sLOl1Ei3LI

@aiga_balode Do you have any practical idea how this could be changed in Latvia?

Our political parties are exactly such narrow circles of insiders, and in the European context they cannot even really be called parties. Some numbers for comparison. Estonia's ruling Reform Party has 11 thousand members, the Centre Party has 10 thousand, the Conservatives have 10 thousand. https://t.co/WU8HTsZnYQ

A meeting at @Finmin with @darbadeveji and @arodbiedribas to jointly discuss issues to be resolved in the country is a format introduced many years ago that successfully allows better understanding of each other and finding common ground. #sadarbība #darbadevēji #arodbiedrības #NTSP

@MareksGeistarts Unusual suspect: Atis Švinka. 😎

If you had a company worth several billion, on whose existence the future of you and your children depends, but you unfortunately had to delegate the management of this company for some time to one of the characters represented in these elections, what would your choice be?

On another topic, the bird whispered that practically any procurement by the Prosecutor General's Office has the most shameless price increases and kickbacks to decision-makers.

@andrislov Good question @MeistersArmins about the legacy left by his predecessors. I only glanced at the evolution of the Proc. system - hair stands on end. Interesting how it will develop?!

If there had been no Istanbul Convention, then the hairy dude would not be allowed to be in the same bathroom as girls. A hairy dude's desire to be in the women's bathroom is valued higher than the girls' safety. https://t.co/awLrTd6qOY

Today on LTV1 @VL_TBLNNK business card. Support for families is crookedly contrasted - where will the money come from? For a national state and Latvians, 'positive' demography and rising birth rates are as important as strengthening security. Ambitions for budget spending must be equivalent, i.e., 5% of GDP.

@Lato_Lapsa One could send @EdvardsSmiltens to goof around in the US, so that Latvia also has some 'chapter' on insolvency matters. Will Strazdiņa, who for 200k tells that 'Putin is watching us', find an opportunity to dash off and interview a US judge on the AirBaltic issue? The gentleman has apparently offered.

To help voters make a critical and informed choice in the 15th Saeima elections, Latvian Television offers a program series “Party in Focus” that provides a comprehensive insight into party programs and their offerings. Based on SKDS public opinion survey data, the cycle features political forces that have reached at least 2% support by early August. On Tuesday, the National Alliance visited the program. #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni #Vēlēšanas2026

I wonder how many times @SergeyKocharov, the Capitals media guy (hired specifically because he is Russian, to please Ovechkin) will have to shut down questions from journalists about Ovechkin's participation in a war propaganda video threatening the West. https://t.co/NEAmsiDyHC

Stepaņenko wants to lead the country. But about the money and apartment gifted by his father in Russia worth almost €420,000 - 'by what right?' Regarding Crimea - praising the team. Regarding Russia's threats - no answer. And we are the bad ones for 'not allowing them to answer'. https://t.co/vFxpt4FicI
