Latvian Political Monitor

From@AndrisKulbergs

🇷🇺 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. 🇱🇻🤝🇺🇦

The Interfront was liquidated as an unconstitutional force, because the state then had enough political will to draw the line. Today, the political role of the Interfront is taken over by “Stabilitātei!” and “Suverēnā vara”. Legal succession is not automatic, but the comparison of political discourse and activity can clearly show the political and ideological succession that can no longer be ignored. That is why this is no longer just a matter of political rhetoric, but a matter of state security: at what point does this succession grow into action against Latvia's constitutional order, which the VDD @Valsts_drosiba already has a duty to react to.

By the way, what is the explanation for the fact that Latvia is one of the few countries for which comparable health expenditure statistics still have not been published by Eurostat even for 2024? Previously there was no such problem @CSP_Latvija @Finmin https://t.co/Oh6I0ffHUm https://t.co/sYJWBRUtfL

Hey, look, even the logo of the German oligophrenics is one-to-one like our schizos, @Progresivie. I hope that close cooperation has been established and regular experience exchange trips will take place. https://t.co/O8OkLugYEh

@LV_visiem @kr_klavins @KuzminsPavels @VinilaValdis @liana_langa Once at a company, a colleague, told me in rapt enthusiasm that she imagined that when my grandfather started living in Rga - he could live wherever he wanted! Such apartments! With all the furniture and clothes! Then I said - be quiet! Your grandfather was an occupier😡

In July, Latvia's goods exports increased by 14.9% — goods worth 1.78 billion euros. The fastest growth was in sales of machinery and electrical equipment. This is not just statistics, it is our economy's growth. Exports must grow — it is part of people's well-being.

Thank you, @Braze_Baiba, @sikorskiradek, @elinavaltonen and @HMcEntee for sharing this moment at Latvia’s Freedom Monument. For nations whose modern histories were shaped by the struggle for freedom and sovereignty, this is much more than a protocol stop. 🇱🇻🇵🇱🇭🇺🇫🇮🇮🇪 https://t.co/Ab7FIpWXhh
