The Saeima cannot demand transparency from the entire state administration while itself remaining outside full external control. The Saeima committee supported a proposal to allow the State Audit Office to verify the correctness of parliament's annual report, thus taking the first step. The Saeima is currently the only state institution that the State Audit Office does not audit. https://t.co/AhEqwPDPCH

@BSmildzina @ktn_rs That is not true. I have not divided anyone into such categories. I myself come from a family where dad is a long-haul truck driver and mom is a cook. During my studies I sold beer in the beer bars at the arena, and in summers I dried grain at VAKS Valmiera to cover my tuition fees. Nobody has given me anything for free.

@ktn_rs @CerinsAivis Arrogance. He is one of those who divide people into qualified and low-skilled. An ordinary worker is supposedly to blame himself for receiving a low salary. The fact that a person bakes cakes all his life and wants to receive decent pay for the work, as is the case in other EU countries, does not interest him.

There is not a single argument to rush the decision on the fate of the Istanbul Convention, said Rinkēvičs. Kulbergs proposes a consultative referendum on this issue.

@Braze_Baiba @VL_TBLNNK Thank you, this is important from the standpoint of cooperation with our strategic partner. Foreign affairs has a special role in building this cooperation. We will resolve matters with the Latvian film industry separately.

On support for the 🇱🇻 film 🎥 industry, we agreed with @AndrisKulbergs and @VL_TBLNNK at the Cooperation meeting on Monday, and the entire government coalition was united — it is necessary and will be ensured. But there is no need to fall out with our strategic security partner, the USA.

The red professor has put on a mourning ribbon and asks whether the state budget is now the prime minister's private wallet. The reason for the tragedy is that @AndrisKulbergs does not want to impose a 3.5 percent levy on streaming platforms, which would bring about six hundred thousand euros a year to the National Film Centre's coffers. Six hundred thousand—for that sum in Riga you can buy a moderately unsuccessful documentary about a bureaucrat's soul and still have some left for coffee during seminar breaks.

Hermanis is stepping down as head of the party "We Change the Rules" (4)

With this, I announce that I am stepping down from the duties of leader of the party 'We Change the Rules' and will henceforth be an ordinary member. I am aware that I have not been able to achieve and fulfill my goal - to convince the public of the need to change the rules - and therefore this responsibility must now be taken on by someone else. Let the members of the MMN party decide on that. For my part, I can only recommend entrusting this post to Jāzeps Baško, who, in my opinion, is the only one who could continue what has been started. Jāzeps is an ideologue - a smart and honest person, persistent and principled, and I urge others to support him as well. I have decided to implement the MMN program in an even more radical way and to start with myself. Because I have come to the realization that transforming the world is impossible. Rules can only be changed privately - by changing one's consciousness and habits. So - I am not giving up on the goal. But I will try to do it in other ways.
