Latvian Political Monitor

The Latvian National Cultural Center has prepared an informational report on continuing the reform of the financing procedure for the remuneration of artistic collective leaders and on evaluating the proposed solution. At the Song and Dance Festival, outstanding skills and technical quality are demonstrated in every artistic or folklore cultural genre, and a unified spirit of Latvian traditions and national cohesion is maintained. For these festivals to continue in all art forms and across generations, it is extremely important for the state to take responsibility for their proper succession. 🔗More here: https://t.co/Hpr02X9kiu

⚠️ Why did Latvian Radio and Latvian Television news services NOT work in crisis mode during and after the storm? Just now, a SEPLP representative explained to Saeima deputies in a presentation that they followed the letter of the law — neither President Rinkēvičs, nor Prime Minister Kulbergs, nor Cabinet ministers had declared a state of emergency. Therefore, the radio and television program was not changed or adapted to the real crisis situation. While people were left without electricity, communications, and necessary information, public media continued their regular programming. Bureaucracy had NO CRISIS SITUATION — so everything was fine on air! Fantastic state administration logic: we don't declare a state of emergency and then announce that there was no reason to work in crisis mode.

@MellersMd @VKleinbergs @Progresivie @KNABinforme @kottello What other Riga development alliance??

A brief situation overview about the missing Latvian people in Nepal. We believe, hope, and do what we can. The @Arlietas representative has arrived in Nepal and started work. Together with Nepalese authorities, our honorary consul, EU representation, Finnish embassy. https://t.co/MAz4zuUh9u

Valainis: Kulberg's government is technical because it has not started work on the state budget.

In the coming days, a comprehensive immigration restriction plan must be adopted that will stop the possibility of mass legalization of immigrants from Asia and Africa who enter under the guise of 'foreign student', 'employee', etc. Certain economic groups will not like this very much; they may try to put obstacles to delay and prevent this plan, but this is a question of the long-term survival of our nation, so that our nation is not replaced by immigrants. This issue is fundamental. I will advocate for the creation of a strict immigration policy! Latvia must make decisions where the priority is the long-term security interests of the nation, not the desire of certain individuals to profit at the expense of security.

We are all judged by others according to their own understanding. Kulbergs' situation is nothing special. He is a politician, a prime minister, who for years sharply criticized the previous prime minister and ministers. Then he energetically and convincingly promised to decide, solve, work. Now people are disappointed that they believed, because there is nothing of what was expected and promised. That's normal.

@MaratQasem As a voter of Šlesers, you and I could compare who looks how, how much grey matter each has in their brain, and so on. However, that is a rhetorical offer, because everyone always changes their mind, I already have a whole list, from bloggers to ministers.

“One of the former directors, who knew old Hermanis and his family well, just told me that the young Hermanis in his life has hardly ever dug a shovel into the ground with his own hands…” How common this creature turns out to be. https://t.co/3jRfLpuO6o

@olimpietis2 What difference does it make where he sat, if on social networks he agitates for Šlesers and works in his favor, which my video also confirms? I cannot agree with you on this issue, sorry. https://t.co/TGhNEI5rPb

@cepum_s @JelgavaLV @rusantro Ruslans already said everything. I will also mention that currently design works are actively underway for both the mobility point and the multi-storey car park.

No one is braking the review of the immigration issue in the government, but it is expected that it will be done qualitatively, Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs (AS) said in an interview on “Rīta Panorāma”. “If we really want to sort out this issue, Friday is the place to do it,” the Prime Minister said.

@yukabrother After Kulbergs' viģika no. 68, I no longer agree with that. If a person openly stands against fighting immigration and bureaucracy, then he is dangerous to the Latvian state and that must be said directly and openly.

PM: Need to find where to earn and save money for the budget
