How do you say 'bezpreģels' in Hindi? Which Indian god or deity is responsible for bezpreģels? That it's blue, with a trunk and 16 arms is clear, but maybe there's a specific word, Vadafaka-Vadafaka, or something like that? https://t.co/XyD8lifNju

The State Police has detained a drunk driver who caused an accident, an Indian citizen without a valid driver's license, who was staying in the country illegally. The person continued to stay in Latvia despite having an obligation to leave the country. Problems are visible in the mechanisms for monitoring foreigners who have an obligation to voluntarily leave Latvia within a specified time. The mechanisms will need to be improved.

The leftist progressives will immediately shout: 'But locals also drink and drive!'' Yes — we already have our own problems, which drag on from the occupation era and need to be solved — why do we also have to 'voluntarily' import crime and chaos from other countries? Only by lucky coincidence were our children and families not on the sidewalk and bike path when a drunk migrant crashed at high speed into the gas station area. Immigration is rapidly increasing the number of crimes and making our streets dangerous. https://t.co/6dIzNv4Tbr

... in the existing scope” Briškens's curse has been passed on and now resides in JV's Kozlovskis. Well, basically, he contains several Briškens and even 3 or 4 Švinkas. https://t.co/rWcCBFK8NW

The main route of the railway project 'Rail Baltica' in the first stage in Latvia is planned within the existing scope, which provides for creating a cross-border 'Rail Baltica' connection from Lithuania to the Estonian border, as well as completing construction works at Riga Airport and the southern part of Riga Central Station, in order to enable connecting 'Rail Baltica' with the existing railway network, Transport Minister Rihards Kozlovskis (JV) told the media on Wednesday after the thematic committee meeting on the implementation of the 'Rail Baltica' project. The minister stressed that this is a first-stage solution for the project and that the idea of the 'Riga loop' does not disappear. 'We would like to look differently, but it is 2026 and we have to think rationally,' the minister stressed.

The explosives were in the possession of the NBS from the time of testing at the end of 2025. Meanwhile, specially adapted warheads were delivered in the spring of 2026. As proof: during the Drone Summit demonstrations in Sēlija on May 26, an NBS soldier shot down an aerial target with an interceptor drone on the first attempt, using the warhead delivered from Poland.

@AndrisSpruds When was the task given to the NBS and when was the agreement with the international supplier concluded? Why were interceptor drones purchased without explosives (not to say that the drone manufacturer cannot) - why were the mentioned solution searches carried out AFTER the drone purchase rather than researched BEFORE the purchase?

@AndrisSpruds I very much doubt that the NBS would have given Kulbergs inaccurate info. I suspect the situation is even worse than the public is being told. If someone spread disinformation (half-truths, which is even worse), it could be you, not Kulbergs!

The majority of the Legal Affairs Commission does not support supplementing the Criminal Law with Article 115.2. Economic activity alone is not a basis for automatically exempting from criminal liability for causing harm to nature.

Here https://t.co/3jb0IVg7tU has made a good analysis of “golden visas”. Turkey is in first place, because over there it is easy for Russians to buy a passport. Whatever anyone tells you about “Norwegians” and “Canadians”, the scheme has always been intended for Russians. https://t.co/Oep6iGe3Wq

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.

Drones without ammunition - who is to blame? If Prime Minister Kulbergs says A, then B must also be said: if the armed forces have bought anti-drone protection without ammunition, who is to blame and who will be held responsible? #latvijasattistibai @attistibai https://t.co/B5xvJM8kit
