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

In May, Evika Siliņa's attempt to drag the Ministry of Defence and the NBS into her election campaign ended with the government she herself toppled. Now the second take. Do Mrs. Siliņa and New Unity really think they will get a better election result this way? #Komoezerastratēģija https://t.co/6RUUuC4RW0

@suvajevs From the bottom of my heart I wish Latvia's residents that politicians would work more and talk less. Currently @RigasDome is hosting the mayors of Tallinn and Tartu, as well as Vilnius's vice-mayors, and they have something to envy us for. Keep working!

But why would Kulbergs propose increasing the state debt, when we have such an Edmunds Jurēvics in Vienotība, who wants to take it on “his own shoulders”? Švinka and Briškens would surely chip in? https://t.co/yI1lOV5End

Couldn't have said it better - every representative of the 'Progressives' who has come to state leadership has left behind not progress, but chaos. Responsibility for national security is not a collective 'we tried', but specific decisions that either strengthen the state or undermine it. @Progresivie https://t.co/bUfJSM6tyY

This cannot go on like this: every month the population falls by about 1,000 (because deaths outnumber births by 2 to 1), while the national debt increases by on average about €200 million per month. Parents must be given the right to vote on behalf of their minor children - the electoral system must be changed. https://t.co/UMFljpDDmZ

Get ready, tovarishch. Have you yourself already noticed how all the cowardly progressive species-brothers have gone quiet? https://t.co/FKk7JY9Gm5 https://t.co/c8hd8w7z5w

Kulbergs' misinformation about 'forgetting' is being replaced with a half-truth about explosives. Overall, such a pre-election campaign, dragging Latvia's defense sector into it, is irresponsible. I express deep regret about that. But about the substance. If I had acted more simply, then Latvia might not have so rapidly developed innovative technologies that will protect our country, and which we can now also sell to our partners worldwide. That is exactly what the story is about when I speak of Latvia as a drone great power. What someone has called empty talk – these are weapon systems made in Latvia that will now protect our airspace. The agreement to support the development of 'Origin Robotics' counter-drone systems and the planned deployment on the border was my initiative, which strengthens both Latvia's drone and counter-drone industry and Latvia's airspace. Did everyone support it? Initially certainly not. Were there discussions about how to properly implement these new (!) systems? Of course! But this was a 100% correct decision, for which I can answer. The development, testing, and implementation of new systems always takes time. But nothing was 'forgotten' here – tasks were given to find the best solutions so that the systems would be combat-ready, and such a solution was found, with the first warhead deliveries starting in April.

Ministries should focus less on getting employees back to the office, believes Matīss Kokins, public sector client manager at 'DeskTime', a company of 'Draugiem Group'. Why do Estonian ministries trust data, but our managers only trust presence? 🔗 https://t.co/SslOPOg91n https://t.co/yfVLhWzjYH

Ivars @Ijabs: Freedom of science and investments are the key to Latvia's future. 🎾 “Latvijas attīstībai” is for investments in science, for Latvia's development. That is why on October 3, vote for list 11. https://t.co/GH1s52mzn3

Prime Minister Kulbergs is obviously deliberately spreading disinformation again. ❗️Air defense equipment was purchased and no rounds were forgotten. This concerns specific equipment – interceptor drones from the Latvian company Origin Robotics, which we tested and started purchasing already at the end of 2025. To fully integrate them into air defense, explosives need to be added. Such a task was given to the NBS to reach a solution together with VALIC and the commercial entity. And a solution was also reached. In parallel with the use of the army's available resources, an agreement was also concluded on specific supplies from an international supplier. I also clearly indicated the task to the NBS – equipped equipment had to start being deployed on the border already in April.
