The Kremlin’s latest ‘peace’ messaging follows a notoriously familiar pattern: Present Russia as ready for dialogue. Present Ukraine as refusing peace. Continue launching large-scale attacks at the same time.

SIF gave a 6-minute-long audio protocol, where there is just a vote on everything that has already been discussed and agreed upon. Namely, they do not vote on the allocation of money for each project, but on everything at once. For example, 'we decide on the approval of 25 projects' and then vote... On the other hand, when asking for the protocol of the real discussion, where they decide why a project is good or bad - then they say that it is information for internal use and they don't give it. Very transparent, in my opinion.

@Vinotava @AndrisKulbergs To express Latvia's position (including on potential LV assistance within the solidarity framework) before the informal EU Council of Interior Ministers. Absolutely standard procedure in communication among EU ministers. What exactly surprises you about that?

@EdvinsSnore @AndrisKulbergs What was the purpose of this letter, this internal political pre-election stunt? What did Dombrava achieve? In diplomatic circles, he created a caricatured impression of himself, which will be subtly used against him/Latvia? Who needed this?

Our analysis shows that in Latvia, relative to the total population, there are relatively few doctors and nurses (Eurostat data), and this has been the case for years. Medical personnel are overworked, and healthcare quality also suffers as a result. https://t.co/Dt4VQ8Nniz https://t.co/UJIeggVcyu

Jānis Hermanis and Daiga Behmane on medical overload. To address medical overload, more needs to be done to encourage prospective students to choose the nursing or physician assistant profession, and to move away from the number of procedures performed as the main criterion for allocating funding. https://t.co/AePRaOYq74

@Vinotava @AndrisKulbergs I agree about the local pre-election provincialism. This whole fuss about our minister's letter to Spain really does recall passages from 'The Land Surveyors' – the Thinker's instructions that country folk shouldn't jump into the masters' eyes. They should sit, keep quiet, and nod their heads.

@EdvinsSnore Clearly visible local pre-election provincialism. Writing to Marlaska is not writing to Orbán to get a diploma 🤣. You also need to give some thought to your diplomatic capacity and abilities. The only thing Dombrava achieved was to call into question @AndrisKulbergs authority and ability to lead the government.

@Driafre @attistibai The border was not built, and Kozlovskis with his then right-hand Evika Siliņa pretended to build it already from 2011-2018, when LA did not even exist at first, but from 2014-2018 they were neither in the Saeima nor in the government.

@attistibai @pucej Didn't the border security sabotage start with comrade Golubeva?

@jelgavapatriots I hope it's exaggerated and there is some court decision or reasonable explanation that allows the municipality to receive property from the state and transfer part with building rights. This is not the municipality's attempt to earn from land lease, but the goal is to promote economic activity in its territory.

@martinsstals + the activity must be such that its primary purpose is profit in the economic sense. Municipalities are not such, but their companies can be. But there are nuances and FM departments tend to exaggerate this.

@Reinis_Liepins And what are you whining about, you yourselves elected the Pro council! For you, Šlesers is crappy ...

Video from today's traffic chaos in Riga. Without warning, the embankment is closed for 6 days just because someone in the Riga City Council wanted such a show, where the stage needs to be built for 4 days. They don't care about Riga residents - taxpayers and city guests. How long will we put up with all this? https://t.co/zbzuoUaEMh

@Reinis_Liepins The Socialists' mass concert on the embankment ended in an election collapse. And what a day it was.

@lindberga22 @berzins404 @austsaule From now on, I will recite only the ASL program in every video. No other topics. Because each video, look, is the whole program.

@berzins404 @RaivisZeltits @austsaule I really don't understand this. Raivis answers specific questions. How can that be perceived as the entire party program? Specific answers to specific questions on specific topics. Including about SK, which a specific transgender group asks all parties.

@RaivisZeltits @austsaule I once hoped that the insolvency admin. party would be a good, truly national (not regularly groveling in coalition with pro and jv) alternative. RZ has potential. But, forgive me, if transgender and Istanbul are still the whole offer, then I just can't waste my vote on your 1.2%
