P.S. Quite recently, the German government also tried to interfere just as brazenly in this EU regulatory sphere, but got a serious beating in the EU court for it. It seems that the Siliņa government's decision on illegal interference in timber tariffs has taught your advisors and the Ministry of Transport nothing.
@MartasTante@partijaMMN The LTV free airtime format is 5 minutes. Did you also comment on the endlessly long polished PR videos made by other parties, in which more or less glossy candidates present their promises? No, because their videos are not worth discussing anywhere outside the airtime.
@JazepsBasko@partijaMMN This video is too long, especially in this era. It won't attract any new votes for you. I'm afraid that your well-intentioned appearance on the political stage will not be able to overcome the 5% barrier. # Extremely sad...
@MaratQasem@Braze_Baiba do I understand correctly that the occupiers' monuments 🇱🇻 are located only on the basis of interstate agreements? Isn't it time to review them?

It is especially important to notice the areas where we have excellence and the opportunity to compete at world level. Quantum technologies are one such area. Latvia does not have to start from scratch here. We have internationally recognized scientists, universities and and first practical projects. #science#excellencehttps://t.co/vt5g9Y3WZa

I had to file a report about 4 people who, in comments under my posts, expressed support for Kremlin aggression, threatened me, or chose to confess to other crimes against the Latvian state; there will be another report at the end of the week. Threats to "put me against the wall" are becoming routine. Fans of the Kremlin party sponsored by taxpayers' money, nurtured by SIFs, MAFs, etc., have been spared by the cowardly authorities. 2026 — and since the overthrow of the occupier, we are still in the same place.
Right now the most interesting thing in politics is happening in Germany. Possibly, not only the EU's future but also Latvia's future is being decided there.
The whole country is following Chancellor Merz's 'harikiri' live broadcast: yesterday in the Bundestag he called re-emigration ethnic cleansing.
When Merkel gradually degraded her historically conservative party (CDU) into a left-liberal party, Merz came with exactly the same slogans and a reformer's image, just like Kulbergs is now posturing here. But words and deeds differed by 180 degrees. The great reformer turned out to be the greatest defender of the existing order. As German political commentators write: the chancellor's rhetoric and election campaign were devoted to the conservative voter, but his deeds and actions support the old administrative system that is equivalent to the one in Latvia. Two parallel policies.
But the trick worked. Here too. Especially on women 50+. A tall man speaking in an angry voice. Nothing else matters.
@JansonsJuris Kučinskis is the finance minister in this government, but yes, of course, previous governments seemed that it couldn't get worse. Turns out it can.
Health Minister Hosams Abu Meri (JV) will continue to serve as minister. The Saeima majority decided this on Thursday, considering the opposition's motion of no confidence against the minister. 24 deputies supported the no-confidence motion, 67 were against, and one abstained. https://t.co/hFW1e2v2KF
Oh, oh, oh. And he still manages to accuse others of lying. Here he lies about transit, lies about apartments (what, to whom, when rented). The list can be continued. Probably a diagnosis. https://t.co/YLf8AelEyo
🇷🇺 NO TO RUSSIAN GRAIN – NO. I am pleased that the Saeima has broad support for economic restrictions on Russia. I see this as a clear mandate from the Saeima for the government to continue the work already begun. And we will continue. Decisively. Not with loud slogans, but with real actions. We will not look for excuses why something cannot be done. We will not hide behind endless approvals and waiting for others to decide in our place. Latvia itself has the tools, and they must be used. Our goal is clear – to maximally restrict the transit of Russian grain and prevent Latvia's infrastructure from helping the aggressor state's economy earn money and finance the war against 🇺🇦. Of course, one cannot help but notice the approaching elections. 😉 Suddenly the loudest fighters against Russian grain transit and seekers of 'bloody grain' are also among those who, for the past three years, while in power, could have acted themselves. Back then – excuses, hesitation, and arguments why not. Now – loud calls for the government to act. We in the government have already been acting since August. On Tuesday, a draft amendment prepared for the Cabinet of Ministers will be brought. The only difference – we will not talk, but act. 🇱🇻🤝🇺🇦
