The ruling coalition promises that the transit tariffs for Russian bloody grain will be significantly raised, but does not say which exactly, of the many transit corridor tariffs, they will be. Considering that only a few of them, and not the most important ones, the state is able to influence, this sounds more like populism. https://t.co/NZzVqYxyRw

Good news - Russia will not attack Latvia militarily before the Saeima elections. Why do it if there is hope to take it with democratic instruments? :) “My grandfather took Berlin, but I will take the Saeima. I have been given a task.” “My grandfather took Berlin, but I will take the Saeima. I have been given a task.” https://t.co/AlgKFqPAug

Maintenance worker in #Seville; They shit...., urinate, eat and throw all the garbage on the floor, and when you ask them to help, they say: 'Wait, I'm smoking a joint.' That's how invaders integrate. Among other things - approx. 95% of these dark invaders don't even have primary school education. Brilliant prospects for the Spanish labor market...and for all Spanish society. Except for the rulers - they are behind high and protected fences, with crowds of armed bodyguards, in armored limousines.. continuing to enjoy a luxury lifestyle in parallel Spain. https://t.co/vjpA04mv11

Reply: Pro sabotages Latvia's defense capabilities. A dangerous party. Exactly such were a large part of left-wing activists in Latvia in the 30s. Seemingly naive promise-makers of 'everything for everyone', but in reality 'useful fools and/or USSR spies'. https://t.co/6rmaNlvrUZ

On September 16, a large part of regional bus carriers plan to suspend trips for one day. For people in Latvia's regions, this is not just a dispute between the state and carriers. It is a question of whether they will be able to get to work, school, to the doctor, and return home. An important nuance: the protest is organized by carriers with long-term contracts for 10 years. Meanwhile, the carrier with a 3-year contract, concluded when I was transport minister, will not participate in the protest and will continue to provide trips. This again shows the problems of the 10-year contract model and the cost indexation provided for in it. The state, municipalities, and most importantly, passengers have now become hostages of the situation. @Talis_L, under whose leadership this model was introduced, should admit the mistakes made. But naming responsibility alone is not enough. A solution is needed. In the future, shorter contract terms should be used, allowing the state to respond more flexibly to cost and market changes. The state's involvement in ensuring regional transport services in places where the market itself cannot guarantee a stable service should also be assessed. Regional public transport is not a standard business. It is a state-ordered service for residents, and the state must ensure its continuity and cover reasonable service costs, not provide profit for businesses. Currently, passengers need timely information about which trips will not run on September 16 and what alternatives will be available. For many people in Latvia's regions, the bus is not one of the choices. It is the only way to get where needed.

@GirtsKarnitis @atihomirovs @Oslejs it looks like they are borrowing increasingly expensive money on increasingly unfavorable terms, to pay it back to previous lenders (or the same lenders) each time obtaining more secure collateral, so that in the end all the mega % would be covered.

@JurgisLiepnieks @atihomirovs @Oslejs What money? AirBaltic is as broke as a church mouse. Do you think they have a few hundred million stashed in a secret safe?

Illegal migration must be restricted, but questions are raised as to why the tunnels dug under the border were only revealed after the change of the interior minister. Also, other problems at the border must not be forgotten, including smuggling of goods, said Linda Liepiņa, chair of the Saeima faction 'Latvia First', in 'Morning Panorama'.

Question @Oslejs. Did I understand correctly that in addition to the 25% that AirBaltic will pay for the loan, the lender will also receive an additional 30 million in commissions from AirBaltic? Which in other words would mean that the cost of the loan is not 25% but much higher?

I think everything is quite obvious there. For example, the fact that we won't see cheaper medicines any more than we see our own ears. Let's look at what a wonderful career some ladies have and what an unpleasant one a certain gentleman has. So: 1) Signe Jantone - a Unity person since she can remember. Back when Unity's finance minister A. Vilks was in office, she was the head of the minister's office and also a board member of LGA. How did it end? After the Panorama story about combining positions, she decided to leave the job. For the last two years she was the Secretary General of Unity, and this January she left... where to? To lead the Olpha and Repharm Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, which even has its legal address at the Riga Pharmaceutical Factory, which belongs to Olpha. 2) Vineta Kutkēviča... her career before Rīgas Siltums was more varied, but her CV has a notable entry under education: 'Professional board member at the Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance (BICG)'. The Count's office, as is known. After a conflict of interest, of course, RAKUS - the best place. 3) But then we had Normunds Staņēvičs, whose ousting from the hospital, according to @AndrisKulbergs himself at our Inc. club event, is the worst example in public administration, essentially saying: 'don't go into our garden'. What exactly was Staņēvičs 'removed' for? As far as I know, it was because he shortened one markup stage in cancer drug procurement, where Recipe has an 80% market share. Isn't that so?

@UldisVarnevichs “Delfi” belongs to Russians - therefore it is convenient that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania are inclusive, anti-national, if you can still find something against Ukraine somewhere, perfectly ideal.

@kr_klavins Just now Babchenko described how in the Estonian Delfi portal a similar immigrant from Russia fights with his 'fakes'. Simply divine.
