Dombrava has a unique rare opportunity to drive out those slackers and liars from the prison service, the non-use of which will mean a mistake in politics. https://t.co/On8ItoiGnc

After the fiasco of PRO in absolutely all areas, it is a bit strange that they are trying to scare someone with LPV.

Completely unrelated: Hundreds (maybe even thousands) of cases in the Latvian court system have been decided solely and exclusively on the basis of “the policeman must be believed, he has taken an oath!”… Cheers! 🥂 https://t.co/i7x9iBlq4j

📌 False information is claiming that soldiers have died during the “Baltic Trust 26” exercise. This is a coordinated disinformation campaign – no such incident has occurred, and the exercise is proceeding without incident. This is yet another clear attempt to discredit the armed forces and NATO. #RussiaLies

Everything indicates that the Society Integration Foundation (SIF) will not be liquidated. It is impossible to build a solid structure on wrong foundations. SIF is based on the incorrect left-liberal idea with the word 'integration'. Integration policy has been based on the denial of truth and justice – the redefinition of the USSR's colonization and Russification crime against Latvia as an 'ethnic minority' issue, which has served Kremlin propaganda in local and international society. The USSR's goal was to destroy the Latvian people's identity and their majority position in their own homeland. From 77% of the state's population in 1935, the number of Latvians was reduced to 52% by the late 1980s, and in the largest cities Latvians became a minority. Historical minorities in Latvia were remade into a new category – 'Russian-speaking people' (russophones). This is well known to nationalists. Since the Third Awakening, nationalists have emphasized the consequences of the USSR's crimes and called both for decolonization and for stricter language and loyalty criteria for obtaining citizenship, as well as for the status of Latvian as the only state language in all spheres of public life. Meanwhile, left-liberal forces took over and, from the late 1990s, introduced multiculturalism policy, copying Western practices, such as the Canadian model of English- and French-speaking relations. In place of Latvian interests came the 'idea of civic society'. In 1998, the state program 'Integration of Society in Latvia' was officially formulated and approved by the Cabinet of Ministers. It declared that 'the time has come to develop and implement a unified long-term strategy that would promote the formation of a cohesive civic society in Latvia.' Such documents made the consequences of occupation crimes the responsibility of the Latvian people – to be 'more understanding', 'include', and yield. In the schizophrenic integration policy, the cult of war on May 9 had to coexist with November 18. SIF was created to implement this policy. This institution, of course, completely failed, because in Latvia's case it is not about some historical ethnic minority but about colonists brought in by the occupation forces. The occupation's goal was to destroy Latvian Latvia – this fact integrators have stubbornly denied, building 'cohesion' on the basis of injustice and falsehood... The 2012 language referendum, everyday conflicts over the use of Latvian in public space, and the support of a large part of Latvia's Russians for openly pro-Kremlin parties and politicians during wartime are a monument to SIF's previous activity. In the context of new waves of immigration, SIF, of course, cannot act adequately, because in integration policy the stranger is always the 'misunderstood victim', while the titular nation is the one that 'stubbornly refuses to yield and include someone'. Liberals' laments about misunderstanding Muslims and theses about the 'inevitability' of mass immigration show what SIF's role will be in the upcoming challenges to the Latvian people's position in their own land. But the SIF case also shows the problem of previous national-conservative forces – the left are the ones driving the overall trajectory of society and the state with major state policy planning documents, conventions, institutions, and media influence, while conservatives are those who react, try to do cosmetic repairs, but never fully repeal harmful policies based on injustice and falsehood (neither SIF, nor the Istanbul Convention, nor the institution of partnership). The left act – conservatives preserve their policies... That is exactly why 'Austošā Saule Latvijai' (ASL) was created, because without a reversal process, without bold and sweeping decisions that repeal the previous left-wing policies, it will only get worse. ASL believes that SIF must be liquidated and then a new organization must be created from scratch with a different legal basis, different people, and a state program focused on strengthening patriotism and family values. The new National Cohesion Fund (NSF) will take over those individual positive SIF programs that have so far justified the overall bad work of the institution – family support measures, support for Ukraine, etc. NSF will be a smaller institution to save state funds.

🚨 🇵🇱 SHOCKING: This is Poland, you will not lay your carpets here. End of story! ​​You’re shoving your religion down our throats. If you want to pray, go to your Mosque. ​​This is why Poland is only 0.1% Muslim. https://t.co/bIbnhtedOn

It is amazing what shock troops work at @Valsts_policija - they shit green nonsense while standing on a flat surface in white trousers, but still keep claiming that 'everything is not so clear-cut'. @janisdombrava - how about finally taking this smelly cesspit of communists and Chekists, the 'State Police', and cleaning it out?

airBaltic board chairman Andrejs Martinovs monitored the repayment of the 30 million euro loan so carefully that a 4-month extension has to be requested. It should be recalled that Andrejs Martinovs was found and proposed as a board member without a competition by the then Minister of Transport @atis_svinka. Such a board that lies to politicians must be dismissed. It is doubtful that the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Transport Andulis Židkovs will get round to it, given that he is already fleeing the post of Secretary of State to the regulator. Quotes of liar Andrejs Martinovs from April 2026: “Commenting on whether airBaltic would repay the loan by 31 August, Martinovs said that, based on the plan with a repayment schedule prepared by the management board, he hoped it would happen, while adding that the aviation industry is a high-risk sector where economic, political and geopolitical events leave ‘traces’ and impact. ‘Thus the airBaltic board acts in the interests of the company to mitigate and manage these risks, and in the context of the loan the board will do so with even greater care,’ Martinovs stressed.” https://t.co/UjjYi9UH6B

@Vinotava @janisdombrava @EdvardsRatnieks @kasparsskincs This is already completely sick. To view any event through one's own personal pain - to justify migrants. A large number of migrants is a problem and denying it is pointless. Yes, we have our own problems. That is why adding more is wrong.
