Latvia, by strengthening the border and arming itself, is thwarting Russia's plans. 🇱🇻💪 So says a Ukrainian general and head of the president's office ➡️ https://t.co/UsSqWV4oRo

LTV debates: no questions about the budget deficit and other truly important issues. However, I am surprised. Who prepares those questions?

The budget deficit and 22 billion state debt are not a problem, next year we will borrow 3 billion and pay about 700 million in interest payments, or roughly 2 million euros a day. Does this still sound like good Unity policy that it has been implementing for the last 17 years? There is a chance to change the rules on October 3. @partijaMMN

Our own produce must be the first choice. I will repeat it again and again until it is. Starting from state and municipal procurement, ending with our own table.

From@Zemkopibas_min

The local producer is our pillar of independence. By strengthening self-sufficiency and increasing the share of domestic products, we are building a secure foundation for the country's readiness for crises," emphasized Minister of Agriculture Uldis Augulis at the forum "Own product – own strength" on 🇱🇻 food security. https://t.co/w3LQZJsRUs

Simply horror. The electoral legal framework must be changed urgently. This is an absolute mockery of the Republic of Latvia and the Latvian people. Those who practice and support Russian chauvinism must not hold state positions. 🔗 https://t.co/x75paylrwY

Hmm, well it's clear what Stability is, but is this the level of the Foreign Minister...

The bus stop near Stradiņi is the apotheosis of Soviet thinking! I remind you that in the USSR, man was in last place, he was merely a means for building communism. Similarly here - we can't handle a few alcoholics, so let's have no bench at the bus stop for other people either! Instead of people - put plants in boxes! @RigasDome @RigasSatiksme

@Elina_Treija There was no unintelligent outburst yesterday. The discussion was substantive and people gave suggestions. The fact that the committee chair tries to demonize other residents of the Grīziņkalns neighborhood who don't think like her... Can no one tell the politician that that is neither wise nor correct?

From@Elina_Treija

I really dislike unintelligent discussion where conversation partners are not respected. However... PRO's desire to impose their truth and solutions makes me want to SUPPRESS the characteristic Latvian restraint, politeness, caution towards the modern AND START SHOUTING, so that decision-makers understand that something is truly opposed https://t.co/xcFYez11ZW
