How it started: Councils are political nursing homes, that is the first thing we will change when we come to power. On August 19: "He said that the governance mechanisms of capital companies must be completely reworked, and Kulberg's office is currently working on it." How it ended: https://t.co/wNqGMg3FdH

The last attempts of 'New Unity' to push their own into warm places to arrange yet another hundred-million procurement in construction. https://t.co/7qOUQ6r98u

This is a mockery of healthcare. A person without experience in healthcare, who recently resigned from the board of 'Rīgas siltums', is being appointed to the council of @Aslimnica. Apparently, from heating to hospital management is only one step. Meanwhile, competent industry professionals are being filtered out in the competition. Exactly in whose interests was this competition held?

@Gaumigais_joks He is certainly still inclusive and possibly votes for one of these parties – 'Progressives', 'Stability', 'Harmony'.

@kr_klavins Hired because he is Russian. No other skills!

The ethnolinguistic factor is indeed significant here (Latvian/Russian speakers): · Trust in NATO (68%/29%) · Trust in the army (80%/43%) · Support for armed resistance (81%/42%) · Willingness to fight for Latvia (54%/10%) · Russia is to blame for the war in Ukraine (81%/34%) But even among Latvian speakers the indicators could have been better.

Russians 'included?' 'Great' integration work, with millions 'mastered.' I'd even say the process is the opposite - Russians have included a part of Latvians in their vat! I regularly get asked by vat-Latvians on social media why Ukrainian flags are visible in Latvia... #DeRussifyLatvia

@gvidotimosko Of course, such tactics work very well on vatniks, there is no doubt about that. However, this time nothing will save them — even the prostitute who, fleeing from Brēmanis's circus, returned to their party.

@MaratQasem But unfortunately such tricks work well for their audience. Last time with the prostitute also worked well.

What I heard yesterday on LR1 while driving from Riga: from one Russian grain train, a sample will be taken for a paid 900-1000 EUR, after which (it is unclear who will have taken the sample and in what manner) the train will be allowed through Latvia, because the analysis in England will take a month. The analysis is generally intended for statistics, to understand what origin grains are transported through Latvia. I listened and was amazed.
