@ragadegmess Yes, you may. I'm talking about those who demand and moralize.

@poznaks And? Because Pro has been in coalition with ZZS, AS is not allowed to demand a clear statement about entering a coalition with LPV? Okay, keep playing this game.

If everyone in this political season, then I also had to climb onto a combine harvester – don't take it badly 🌾

MMN is for those who have difficulty identifying with that part of society that likes to remain at the bottom of all EU rankings for years.

📢 MMN tents are operating today at Riga Festival near Vērmanes Garden and Strēlnieku Square. Tomorrow candidates will be found near Esplanāde and Kronvalda Park. https://t.co/JAydXPQMo2

Kulbergs and Sprūds are messing around with the unpurchased anti-drone munitions; I don't understand why their assembly couldn't have been entrusted almost 3 years ago to the SIA 'Valsts aizsardzības korporācija' created for this purpose? https://t.co/CST2xPLxy1

@ivchix @AndrisKulbergs @EdvardsSmiltens As is known, in Latvia @KNABinforme is not an independent institution (a systemic error that was fixed in Ukraine), this institution is neither brave nor capable of functioning. Did the politicians themselves get scared to confirm to LSM with documents that everything was correct and honest?

@OttoOzols @AndrisKulbergs @EdvardsSmiltens That will probably now be clarified by KNAB. But more details about that – on Sunday https://t.co/xkes9lQCCQ

@Lato_Lapsa @janisdombrava yes, they could have “wittily” commented themselves on the video from the police van’s camera, preferably with the full audio track, so we could hear how the girls tensely discuss their strategy for handling the crisis situation they were called to, instead of relaxed painting their nails in the background of Buzova’s sausage.

Thank you to the Latvian Hunters' Association, our Armed Forces, @zemessardze_LV @Latvijas_armija, and all supporters for establishing and maintaining the 'Vienoti valstij' long-distance shooting community, and for the invitation. 🇱🇻

The State Police really likes to publicize their dashcam recordings of speeders, chases, etc. What do you think — what is stopping the publicizing of the van's dashcam recording this time? And also — where has our brave and principled @janisdombrava gone? If it's dealings with the cops' buddy, courage in heels?

Good day! The first police reports were based on information at the scene. There would be no point in lying, since State Police vehicles are equipped with video recorders, but it was not immediately possible to obtain the data. Moreover, the criminal process will be sent, according to jurisdiction, to the Internal Security Bureau for investigation.

Although PRO desperately tries to “marry” AS with Šlesers, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the first to unite in a common cause with LPV. After all, they are united by love for the Russian language and crossing the thick red lines, as in the case of ZZS, so problems won't arise…

If you haven't read the contract, on what basis then these musings that the prime minister should read the contract before allegedly speaking inaccurately?

@ilmarmors @katrinailjinska @AndrisKulbergs Have you read that contract? Maybe then give it to all of us to read! It sounds to me that in this case the prime minister is right. The idea that it would be better to store explosives and drones separately is simply ridiculous from a logical standpoint.

The prime minister should know how to ask the right questions and be able to delve into details and know the subject :) From Sprūds's specific formulations (a favorite trick of politicians - saying it so that it's not a lie, but creates the desired / more positive impression) one can understand that something might not be exactly as Kulbergs, most likely, some NBS staff rat told him.

Recent ratings show that we absolutely must vote for politicians who have been sitting there for years. Because they have great experience and they do very well. Kučinskis, for example, was Prime Minister during Rail Baltica, and that is a sure guarantee of change, etc. https://t.co/8MPZTJtuxH

In short, about voting for the “old parties” 😂 https://t.co/vAWifcB5o5

In the city, PRO-hostile crows caw (and this crow is not called @JurgisLiepnieks) that @suvajevs's agitation in the wood industry case is closely linked to the appearance of an overpriced central apartment in the property of new Lenin's wife. The missus is a novice lady doctor, so her own savings could not be to blame...😎 Unrelated. Read @PietiekPortals articles about a certain Mr. Ramoliņš. Everything will become clear.😈

With genuine interest I will listen to that policeman's first version .. and then the next one! About the extremely urgent call ... And yes... I hope that some usual whiners won't now demand Dombrava's resignation! Because he is now responsible for all those rural and pro-Russian faces gathered in the police. Just reminding, previously Kozlovskis basically let a fool run things for nearly TEN!!! years. The state secretary's product Dmitrijs Petrovs also sits there excellently since 2017. I won't even mention the Rukus and evučus who partied nicely together in the VIP stands. Rajevs, who sat there in the parliamentary seats, watching his own weight increase... while rapidly limping and improving his financial situation. Combining that with rambling together with that other chatterbox Bogustovs. Spinning his versions of what and how it will be on the Ukrainian front. How he has managed that, in the fifth year of the war, let every sensible man judge for himself. As for me, I also consider Slaidiņš's revelations, despite Levits's hastily wasted major's epaulettes - to be of little value. Returning... I also consider all those ridiculous parliamentary secretaries, at least over the past 20 years, to be wet firewood. I think that all these parliamentary secretaries are as necessary as ear sticks with that cotton bit for wiping one's arse. As if they exist and could, but there's no point whatsoever. Our policemen will manage to film, stick patches, put signs and tripods in the bushes. Measure the grass length, punish for a Ukrainian flag on a mast of a private house in Ādaži. Chat chummily with pro-Russians, who for their TikTok content will film their usual puppet narrative slop; they won't be able to deal with the Jēkabpils murderer Rusiņš, but will eagerly get to work trying to put shit on the decent man Gundars Kalve, who throws that occupiers' monument into the Daugava. And those policemen will try so hard that Gundars will also be discharged from the National Guard. Only in August 2022 will those diligent investigators back off, because the war in Ukraine has already been going on for more than six months. And they pass a law on the dismantling of the occupation monuments. If it weren't for that law and those Ukrainian events. They would have diligently continued. Old Rīga is full of policemen, but for the robbery of a watch shop they will arrive exactly late enough for the robbers to have gone. And with all that camera network, they will also sleep through their departure across the bridge ... all that they won't be able to do. But they will notice in a minute that little plumber's van, which works during the day at a site in Old Rīga near the Russian Theatre, and in the evening comes to pick up the welding machine, the large gas cylinder, tools... but he accidentally doesn't notice that funny STOP sign in that corner. And then such RMP [Rīgas pašvaldības policija? Actually municipal police?] are there in two vans, they of course immediately fine him, then something doesn't make sense about the man's registration address, fine him again, and then they find out that that plumber's medical examination paper expired four days ago; no, they don't warn - they fine him a third time! And they also make him blow into the tube 3 times in a row and three times see zero. The policeman's lady nevertheless thinks that if he is so slow, then he has been drinking. And they call the traffic police too. Because that plumber is simply tired after a hard work day and completely confused by all this. And then they go to have blood drawn again - and again zero per mille. That man is completely confused... because he has had no traffic violations in the last 17 years. Even in this extremely police-attentive country! Where to get money for something, I didn't even really understand for what! Is extremely simple. And that confused man is now my quiet, cool and kind neighbor. I learn that, then I feel sick about all this, I get worked up, I call a friend with whom I fish, who is a great boat buddy, and besides not at all a bad and grim lawyer. Who knows the whole shitty LV police system way too well. And then we go and find out that with the registration everything had been in order, but there were some glitches in their system. That that Dobele girl, a school C-student and now a police production, who now in Rīga and in an RMP bus feels like the ruler of the universe, and in imbecilic handwriting prints protocol after protocol in the bus. Because in that repressive structure they are entitled to 40% of collected fines/tributes! That she got confused and misunderstood the order of month and date in that medical document. And these two fines, with a little pushing, are now annulled! And it also turns out that refusing to blow into that tube the third time was considered resistance and hooligan behavior against the police, and there had been a fourth protocol. And then we get through to the then Deputy Chief of the State Police A. Velšs, who listens, understands everything, seemingly finds out, agrees that it was not correct and promises to sort it out and will give an order to cancel. But.... 4 months later, the neighbor still receives a registered letter about the collection of that fine with all the markups and accessories. Although, when passing the annual technical inspection two months earlier, the neighbor had not been shown any unpaid fine at CSDD. Well, he paid and peace. Then the three of us - with the neighbor and my buddy - had a drink in our garage, a finer whiskey that the lawyer had brought, and the first toast was - Guys, I raise this to luck in hopeless cases... you can't even imagine what amazing dol... and enlightened [idiots] I mostly encounter in those internal affairs structures. Meanwhile, such a Colonel Velšs shortly after becomes a general, too much dirt has accumulated, journalists start digging this and that, finding out, and the fellow after two years with the general's rank hastily rolls off. Classic genre - for health reasons... already in 2019 at 46 years old. Now everything is ok. With health is still in perfect order. Flourishing. 😏 He appears on TV, gets into a party, plans to become a deputy, expert, docent and blah blah blah etc. Spends his nice general's pension days at 52 years old for the seventh year already. And such next generals in those internal affairs are enough. Don't know why I wrote all this. Maybe because I type fast. 🤔 But maybe because I have a feeling that on those uniforms there are already too many stains. And the dirtiest uniforms from that police establishment need to be thrown out. Too smudged and worn out. Need new and different ones, at least of slightly better quality. But whoever read this wise little thought of mine to the end... Well, let him know - he is a real good fellow.👊😎 https://t.co/k0ttUsKHLw

What do you think - why did comrade Šuvajevs for weeks have something to say every day about timber industry workers, but about his progressive comrade Sprūds, who could really use the comrades' support now, he is quiet, quiet...? https://t.co/aNPSEhHKUZ

@J_Hermanis Is there any statistics on how many children and young people we export? Because I have a subjective feeling that Latvian parents see their children's future best outside Latvia. Demographic support given such a large export of children is a rather useless thing.

Jānis Hermanis on the general overhaul of public administration. A more compact and effective public administration can be Latvia's success story. The overhaul will bring pleasant changes for both employers and employees - reducing the tax burden and filling vacant positions in the private sector. https://t.co/EWnz2zVLhf
