ZZS has held an emergency board meeting.

ZZS recalls Reinis Uzulnieks from the ministerial post and expels him from the party.

Unfortunately, nothing in life suggests that what is written here is true. If changing the electoral system were the only goal, as claimed, one should seek a referendum on this matter. Signatures need to be collected. MMN themselves have submitted to the CEC amendments to the immigration law to start collecting signatures. Yes, that is the right path, if you have one specific goal - for example, changing the electoral procedure. But no. MMN does nothing of the sort, only squawks about the electoral procedure. Nothing has been developed. They will start when they get elected, but then they won't be able to, because there will be too few votes, no bastard wants to change the rules, etc. Obviously, that is not the real goal, and I do not like being lied to.

@mrserge LSM refused an interview about the storm damage in Jelgava. Then suddenly they knew I was running. LSM follows ratings, shapes public opinion according to their views, and they have their favorites.

An episode that well illustrates where the real problem with NGOs lies. The question is actually whether the NGO, the port board, or the special economic zone has insiders, and whether funding reaches insiders. The new government also continues old habits – placing politically close individuals on boards where work does not actually happen and where the position can be combined with a main job. The disgraceful deal between ZZS and PRO regarding the Istanbul Convention also came to light. On the other side was the suspension of port reforms, and it cannot be ruled out that the LVM 50 million euro subsidy to specific companies was also part of this agreement.

@Hakijs @VisockisJuris @nralv He reads. Read about data protection.

All scenarios are possible. Also such that we get in even with a minimal number, but without us a coalition cannot be formed, and then MMN is the "golden card" and an opportunity to dictate rules - gently force others to participate in changing the election law.

@mrserge But the principle that LSM is guided by ratings and therefore will continue to invite all sorts of freak shows remains. LSM must provide information in an objective, factually correct and balanced manner. Let private media deal with ratings.

Completely my thoughts. Just more skillfully formulated. 🤝 @partijaMMN https://t.co/LESWniz3Gg

For those who haven't understood yet: MMN's goal is not to come to rule. The only reason the movement MMN was created is to change the election law. To get rid of parties and henceforth vote for specific people who bear personal responsibility. In MMN's case, the idea is important, not so much the people who represent it. Including me. I honestly admit that sitting in parliament is not my dream, and I would certainly refuse the deputy's salary, because in any case I will continue to work in the theater. Unlike other parties, we have a completely different goal: not to gather power for ourselves, but to change the rules of the game - to introduce a new election method so that power is returned to the people again. As it is written in the Constitution. Because the Constitution says nothing about parties at all. Read it yourself. You are being used and led by the nose. And maybe it's time to put an end to that. MMN.

Deputy salary list for August published: who earned the most in the Saeima?

@mrserge For 20-year-old girls, the rating indeed allows them to perform everywhere.

Kulbergs will participate in the European Arctic Summit in Finland.
