Latvian Political Monitor

In Latvia, the population is decreasing, technology is moving forward, but the number of jobs in central administration is increasing.

@zvejniekameita @AivarsOzo A more appropriate form of address would be comrade.

The case with the dogs is something terrible and such situations must not happen again. I feel for the victims and their families. Wishing a quick recovery! I will follow up to ensure that the PVD procedures regarding aggressive animals are carried out in accordance with the seriousness of the situation. https://t.co/EKdbvHxRKa

The value of the state's earlier investments is, in my opinion, zero. Long ago. For years I have analyzed the company in detail and justified it with data from AB's own published reports. For example, that finances run out at the beginning of this year. That's what happened, so the previous government gave 30 million and flew on, that has also been publicly acknowledged. Additionally, at the beginning of the year they published statements that in autumn more would be needed, around 300 million. They would come to the state. They tried, but the government is different, no more handouts. What to do now? The Prime Minister announced that further 'rescue' cannot be only on the state's shoulders. I agree, the aviation business is generally unprofitable, if the state is a participant, then it is basically loss-making (because the state is by definition a bad manager). That was said in this few-month period. No more budget handouts. The task is clear, we will implement it. Now there is a transition period. If private parties give money, then okay, we fly on. They gave, but they could have not given. I think without that the lights would already be out. The state only came to meet by recognizing the remaining investments as worthless. SP Global recognized a de facto default. That was the good will, they practically no longer paid anything. Now what? Now we wait for the test result. After all the worthless political blathering, the moment of truth arrives. Will the bird fly on its own or not. We can only watch and hope.

To help voters make a critical and informed choice in the 15th Saeima elections, Latvian Television offers a program cycle 'Party in Focus' that will provide a comprehensive insight into party programs and their offerings. Based on SKDS public opinion survey data, the cycle will feature political forces that reached at least 2% support in early August. The second episode focuses on the party 'Latvijas attīstībai'. #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni #Vēlēšanas2026 https://t.co/0l62o11Gf8

Starting from the situation with inheritances from the previous government – 'Air Baltic' and 'Rail Baltica', and ending with pensions and pay for deputies… We had a heart-to-heart talk about such a wide range of issues with entrepreneurs and seniors, meeting in Talsi. Thanks for the meeting and the constructive conversation! https://t.co/iQOLdTNUia

Experts rate Kulberg's 100 days as prime minister between 'good' and 'mediocre'

No, it's not funny, but logical. https://t.co/fxgJ1maNqd

Andris Kulbergs' (AS) government has completed 100 days this week. If for others it's just a warm-up, then for Kulbergs' government the finish or at least the intermediate finish is already soon – the Saeima elections in less than a month. Then voters will show – whether this prime minister and this composition deserve trust and permission to continue. 🖥️ https://t.co/nOiszG33Js

@AivarsLokmanis ...'The benefit is a security guarantee to decide in favor of the child. The question 'Can we afford a child?' should never arise at all!'

"There is alarm", but "not even one orange light is on". Are electoral IT systems reliable? (1) Is there a risk of problems like those at CSDD?
