Latvian Political Monitor

🇱🇻🇺🇸 Latvia and the US strengthen cooperation in creating an investment-friendly environment We met with the US Ambassador to Latvia, Melisa Argirosa, to strengthen mutual cooperation, creating a safer legal environment, more effectively combating cross-border crime, and protecting investments. Latvia-US cooperation in the justice sector is a success story that has already yielded concrete results. Latvia has the experience and knowledge to be not only a recipient of support but also a strong partner for the US in combating cross-border crime and strengthening common security. Currently, new challenges are also in our focus: ➡️ sanctions evasion and financial crimes; ➡️ crimes related to crypto assets; ➡️ organized and cross-border crime; ➡️ election security and cyber threats; ➡️ investment protection and a more efficient judicial system. ⚖️ At the Ministry of Justice, we are working towards faster, higher-quality, and more predictable justice, including modernizing courts and digitalizing processes. This is not only a justice issue – it is also strengthening Latvia's business environment and investment attractiveness. I agree with the Ambassador that Latvia has many entrepreneur success stories and good examples, and we need to talk about them and highlight them more! Latvia has something to offer US investors. Our task is to make them see Latvia as a safe, stable, and predictable place to invest and develop businesses. 🇱🇻🇺🇸

Farmers will henceforth be able to use guaranteed loans also for restructuring if the farm has encountered liquidity problems. The aim is to help our farmers overcome difficulties in tough times and continue their work.

I can tell @AivarsOzo and others from my side that I will never be in a coalition with the representatives of the “Kopā” party. And here @AndrisKulbergs has also already clearly answered: https://t.co/kPQAhOMtOr You don't hear anymore or don't want to hear? https://t.co/5xpYL6oWBE

@AivarsOzo Here @AndrisKulbergs has said everything quite clearly. Why aren't you listening? https://t.co/kPQAhOMtOr

Why do you keep making me search for and post this legendary screenshot over and over... I'm human too, I get tired, I have other things to do https://t.co/s8a13yGAbT https://t.co/ek1P2q5gF1

Also in the future, milk produced by Latvian farmers and its products, our fruits and vegetables, will be available to schoolchildren free of charge. Healthy and fresh nutrition for children with a short supply chain from farm to school table is a good choice for children and an opportunity for our farmers to increase sales of their products.

Short-lived though, I have to say. Your voter expected not staying silent about the 13B climate law, about the Tet/LMT purchase, about the Stambuliade, but got a flashy series of stunts and a photo with Trump's sons, as well as a black somersault on the Freedom Monument. Oh, and also that Pitbull concert ticket management. https://t.co/Qzgc9HB8eD

Yes. He left the faction before Evika's government and became an 'independent', because ZZS offered him 'old man, we'll be in government, you'll be at the controls, just vote together'. It already scorched on the municipalities, and now they all go down the drain together. He got into the wrong boat through a scam. But Betāta at least got into the wrong one just like that, without a scam.

At the end of 2025, I wrote about the 'general cleaning' in Argentina 🇦🇷. In Latvia 🇱🇻, there is currently no political will to do something like that. 'We change the rules' 🇱🇻 'We are changing the rules' 🇦🇷 https://t.co/hnDkFuQDFu

@DavisVilums It would be worth asking @KNABinforme whether the Communists of the People's Republic of China are paying for @MHirss's campaign. Their candidate for prime minister already expressed enthusiasm for Marx…

The leadership of CSDD must resign. Negligence is clearly visible when personal data of 1.2 million people was obtained as a result of a cyberattack. A security failure of this scale cannot go without accountability. https://t.co/K8P1MyrJgl

The new government and its leader have acted disgustingly and dangerously. @ltvdefacto @ivchix told about it, and they did right - it is their duty. Latvian public television viewers had to know about it. Let's start with the fact that the government leader @AndrisKulbergs and part of the @Apvienotais_ leadership had gone on an unmistakable campaigning event during a working day, when their task was to work. When an LTV journalist publicly asked about this situation, the prime minister first, instead of answering, very vulgarly told the journalist to go away, rather than answering on the merits, which is his duty. He could act that way if he were a private person, but not a public official. So Kulbergs either does not understand or does not want to understand this fundamentally important difference. Secondly, which is already a matter of intelligence, it was done in a vulgar and arrogant form, which is clear evidence of Kulberg's intelligence level. All this together bodes nothing good. More - it is dangerous that the prime minister is so cowardly that he is not able to admit his mistake like a man of honor, but instead chooses a crude shout. Further - from Smiltēns' answer we clearly see that the Minister of Justice is a person who presents what he wishes as what exists, using crude demagogy. Even more dangerous - the worst expression of politics is used, Orwellian doublethink. An obvious campaigning event is called a 'meeting with residents'. The sad irony - the Minister of Justice himself breaks the law and brazenly lies, just like a caught pickpocket at a bus station. The next thing is not only disgusting, but also dangerous for the state - both AS members, and the media, and responsible institutions pretend that nothing happened. As if lying, demagogy and squandering state funds were a common thing, and in general it is more convenient to pretend that 'nothing like that happened' and 'nothing is proven'. That is the language current in 'Putlerstan', and with this we are sliding in the same direction. That is why we must not be silent about it and also not reconcile.
