Russia’s attack on a Turkish civilian vessel in the Black Sea, carrying corn, is terrorism. Latvia expresses solidarity with Türkiye as well as Azerbaijan and India, whose citizens are affected by this strike. Russia spreads terrorism and starves millions around the globe. https://t.co/b3aD9mPndp

🇱🇻🙏 Thank you to the voters of the National Alliance for supporting national values! Thank you for your trust and support for me as well! @Na https://t.co/WWXFezUNXd

POST-ELECTION WORD Thank you to everyone who cast their vote for MMN so that we could be heard more. I am glad you voted according to your conscience, not for statistics-propped pillars. I thought for a long time about how to formulate the need to vote for a “mathematically discarded vote,” until I came to an analogy about love. For surely everyone has fallen in love with the “mathematically unattainable” and yet everyone has fought for it. Fortunately, in politics, with hard work everything is achievable, so we will not disappear but will form an ideological party that offers a right-wing vision, addressing all citizens of Latvia, not narrow demographic groups that secure power. Additionally, I must congratulate the United List on the most numerically impressive victory in Latvian history! I hope that outside the pre-election period they will not be ashamed to admit that part of the AS programme came from MMN. Even without being elected, we have managed to influence the political agenda. Yet after every party night comes a hangover morning, and for Kulberg it will be coalition-building, which for the first time in a long time can be formed from two parties. If AS calls itself nationally conservative, then there are not many choices – National Alliance. Red lines have not been drawn only against New Unity and the Progressives. In the near future we will see whether there will be an amnesty for mistakes and a continuation of the old course. It will be exciting to find out what dominates there – values or tactics. The United List result is phenomenal also in the context of pluses and minuses. I am not sure, but it may be the most crossed-out list, where voters struck through rather than gave pluses to 2/3 of the candidates. Knowing that AS was put together as a patchwork of several parties, the struggle for power may have caused an internal crossing-out campaign. As a result, the lesser-known were elected, thus avoiding the consequences of intrigues. Maybe I am wrong and this is a sign from the migrating voter of a credit of trust in AS, but not in every individual candidate. So to speak, “we are watching you.” Yet it is unequivocally clear that this is the merit of one person – Andris Kulbergs – the locomotive that pulled a carriage of strangers into the Saeima. Or the reason why MMN proposes changing the electoral system. We await government formation and budget planning. It will show how strong all the seams are there. P.S. And special thanks to everyone in Zemgale who supported me with pluses!

@jarinovska @martuzaeva2 @Jauna_Vienotiba Why should nationally minded people submit to liberal-minded people?

Prime Minister promises to review changes to early voting procedure

Thank you for your trust! 💛 For the support you gave the UNITED LIST in the Saeima elections, for the 283,892 votes and all 17,610 pluses you marked for me personally. Your trust means responsibility for Latvia's future. People have clearly shown that they want change. Our duty is to turn this wish into work that strengthens the country and improves people's lives.. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to my family, team, and everyone who has been by my side on this journey. For patience, support, and strength to continue. The coming years will not be easy. Decisions important for Latvia will have to be made, which will not always be easy or pleasing to everyone. That is why I believe it is especially important to explain our actions, listen to people, and take responsibility for what has been done. A sunny life for Latvia! 🇱🇻
