Solvita Gulbe is a specialist with long-term experience in public administration and concludes that it cannot continue like this. The rules must be changed! https://t.co/canwFDWIQ4

Solvita Gulbe on public administration costs. Latvia's public administration is too expensive, overstaffed and inefficient. Taxpayers will not be able to support such a large state apparatus for much longer - an immediate overhaul is needed and every position and every spent cent must be reviewed. https://t.co/B1rcFxYxn9

To lie - deliberately say, write something untrue (usually to deceive someone). Not nice, Mr. Prime Minister! Not nice. You can certainly do better. https://t.co/HuzWec1rKj https://t.co/ghEPHZSDDQ

I do not deny the importance of such a question, I fully respect such a desire, because the public needs to know. I just feel strange that in the program no questions are asked at all about the priorities of the whole society: No.1 HEALTH, No.2 COST OF LIVING, No.3 ECONOMY, No.4 SECURITY, No.5 EDUCATION, and above all about the budget, deficit, and aligning revenues with expenditures. The first and only question was asked about the Istanbul Convention. Thank you for inviting me as the first, and good luck with the next prime minister candidates.

@PeterisJur Currently the main weak point is that for sharing a -20 euro/MWh price reduction from the market price must be applied. In other words, sharing is less advantageous than buying at the market price.

@martinsstals Very nice that you already have energy communities. You will also be able to see the weak points.

An office with only 17 people that daily ensures the assaying of precious metals and stones according to international quality standards – the state enterprise 'Latvian Assay Office'. Today a valuable conversation about what has been done so far and what remains to be done.

And still hundreds of burned Christian churches around the world - in Canada alone the number is already approaching a hundred… https://t.co/lKQpBxXhsM

Don't provoke me. Visiting, in a foreign country, absolutely without respect for local culture, laws, norms and order – that is the attitude of low-ranking immigrants everywhere, they already know upon arrival that the laws are not written for them. They don't accept local culture, they introduce their own. There is absolutely no example, no case, no country where a different scenario has occurred. No country, city or district that has become safer, more developed, more prosperous, cleaner, tidier and nicer. The only thing to do - either go in the direction of London, Paris, Stockholm, Brussels and Berlin, or in the direction of Poland. Proactively, learning from the sad experience of all other countries, keep society alert and form in them the feeling that there will be no little Mumbai here. And my post is about everything in general – breaking laws, trading IDs, systemic violations in all areas, attitude towards the country that has hosted you.

AN OPEN EXAMPLE OF CYNICISM AND SHAMELESSNESS IS THE K2 VENTUM WIND PARK PROJECT! The requirement is still in force not to build more than one small house, summer cottage or sauna on at least 3 ha of land. How, hon. @AndrisKulbergs, do wind turbine towers with 2.5-3.5 ton heavy concrete foundations fit into this requirement? https://t.co/4O5XAF12Fc

Today in the Odesa region, the Russians once again destroyed an ordinary passenger train locomotive with a jet-powered drone. There were 340 people on the train. And whoever was operating that drone certainly could not have been unaware that the target was entirely civilian. As of now, unfortunately, we know that the locomotive engineer and his assistant were killed in the strike. My condolences to their families and loved ones. There were also strikes overnight in 11 regions – the Russians used more than 130 attack drones. Every day, the Russians strike ordinary people’s lives simply for the sake of terror. And unfortunately, far from every such attack receives a strong response from the world. More air defense support and more pressure on Russia are needed if the world is serious about stopping this war in Europe.

Russia continues its efforts to reshape the narrative about the origins of the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin launched an unprovoked, unjustified, and illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This is not a war Russia was ‘compelled’ to fight. It is a war Russia chose to start.
