He cannot be so simply stupid that he doesn't understand that he needs his own team, that he must not take people of Saskaņa, Zīgerists, Sudraba into the list and drag them into the Saeima! I don't believe he is so intellectually weak and foolish. For example, that trick with collecting signatures against immigration - that is not stupid, just doesn't know how to properly implement it. Someone told him what to do. Many things in the program are not stupid at all, etc. I don't know, it doesn't seem like simple foolishness to me.
From@AZvejsalnieksI don't want to throw insults, the person is very smart in his field. It's just quite easy to predict the result if, even being undoubtedly smart and strong in one field, suddenly start doing something grand in a completely different field. Moreover, instead of building a trustworthy team of people who understand that field, he decides to do everything and decide alone.

On Father's Day I go to Lapland to represent 🇱🇻 at the 🇪🇺 Arctic Summit, where Nordic and European leaders will meet to address security and the new 🇪🇺 MFF multi-annual budget issues. I will defend 🇱🇻's position on our role as an EU border state on the eastern flank in strengthening the EU border, investment in defense and the need to strengthen the border economy with an additional €7 billion in funding.

From@NeatkarigaRiga residents will be banned from walking and driving on streets where they do not live. However absurd this headline looks, its correspondence to reality is confirmed by Neatkarīgā's conversations with Riga City Council chairman Viesturs Kleinbergs: https://t.co/bHipOuAUN7 https://t.co/EWkF4kbOi8

From@AlvisHermanis1@JurgisLiepnieks If Liepnieks and Jaunups' party pull out the super argument that the competing party MMN is a Kremlin project, then desperation has probably crept in.

From@JurgisLiepnieksObserving MMN's activities, I cannot help but think of similarities with Sudraba's party - we had a very popular, very professional and excellent head of the State Audit Office. She did not think of getting involved in politics, but then she started traveling to Russia, befriending people close to the Kremlin, and suddenly a party had to be founded. @AlvisHermanis1 in this regard should still explain whether Sobchak is right that Putin himself removed her from the blacklist in 2021, and which are the Russian officials with whom this matter was resolved. In the interview with Sobchak he does not answer this, but now it should be brought up again. How can the right hand of a Zīgerists appear on the list, people of Sudraba and Sovereign Power?

@ragadegmess Minus. Drinking is one thing. But driving drunk is quite another.
From@ragadegmess@JurgisLiepnieks In your opinion, will this case give ZZS a plus or a minus? On one hand, a party with statesmen-alcoholics, on the other, see how we fight this vice without compromise.
