Latvian Political Monitor

The decision is coordinated across the entire government. Similar to RD Geikina. That's the kind of coalitions we have.

Also regarding areas affected by storms, flooding or other emergency conditions, support can be maintained by notifying the Rural Support Service. https://t.co/95LOMgdVUK

In a compromise, one must be able to find the gain for one's own party and voters. If you cannot achieve that, it is no longer a compromise but capitulation. I am tired of seeing so-called right-wing, Latvian parties agree to compromises where the only winners are always pro-Russian or left-wing political forces. That is comfortable sitting in one's comfort zone, not forming Latvian and national politics.

@maris_spruds 6500 euros still doesn't just lie around

Our program states: 'Reduction of the shadow economy without repression — with new, economically justified rules and a debt amnesty, we will bring people back to Latvia and its economy.' What does that mean? Debt collection rules must not prevent a person from earning income with which to repay debts. If a debtor working as an employee can find additional work, for example, as a self-employed person, then his additional income should be subject to the same lenient deduction regime (30-40%) as if he had only one source of income. It simply cannot be that if a person earns one euro more, he gets not a cent from it. But in the current 'reirism' there are such places in the regulation. Because the philosophy of reirism is to catch everyone and force them. And in reirism nobody cares that with that approach many simply leave and thus disappear to their family, society, and the state. Contrary to the style practiced by JV, where the shadow economy is seen as some kind of phenomenon of badly behaved people that is to be eradicated simply by finding and punishing everyone who works in a way invisible to the state, our approach is to create such a legal space where potentially economically active citizens voluntarily start to operate. We are not talking about a general amnesty for all kinds of debts in the program. We are talking about strictly defined parameters by specialists, and the forgiveness of debt applies only to sanctions for tax debts, not the unpaid taxes themselves. And there are special conditions, which if violated, the cancellation of sanctions is lifted. We are right-wing, and individual responsibility is the foundation of our approach. Individual responsibility means that one must answer for one's mistakes. But we also know that no person is perfect, everyone may stumble. As those belonging to Christian civilization, we acknowledge forgiveness and giving second chances. We despise irresponsibility. @partijaMMN

I agree. And soon they will complain that everything is bad in Latvia, no jobs, no investments, no benefits...

Speaker of the Saeima @DaigaMierina will participate in the NB8 meeting in Iceland and discuss strengthening support for Ukraine https://t.co/tMOAr9ZxNd

It must be understood that in both cases the government is controlled by Unity, which will not allow any significant expenditure reductions. Moreover, currently JV has the opportunity to shift responsibility onto someone else.

Here is a lesson in journalism... not interested in delving into, learning and correctly presenting information. When receiving the award, I publicly and loudly told those present and 🇺🇦 TV that this award is received by the Latvian people, not me! Before publishing, investigate - don't they teach you that in your profession anymore? https://t.co/jxKYrzkGWb
