Latvian Political Monitor

The public consultation on the guidelines for forestry and related industries has begun. We must be wise, creating high value-added products in Latvia, rather than exporting raw materials, while not forgetting the role of forests in biodiversity and water regulation. https://t.co/tK7hqEXPSB

LDDK, just like the Auto Association, has historically applied for EU-funded training programmes, where it serves as a qualifying umbrella organisation to provide them to the employees of its member companies. For AA members, it was for raising the qualification level of mechanics and other training = precisely raising knowledge to improve productivity and increase revenues. As a journalist, you should be able to tell an apple from a pear.

Delfi really twisted things as they pleased and didn't mention @austsaule

100% @austsaule voters are concerned about immigration https://t.co/iSSGjGsu6v

@io7246 Can you read Latvian, or do you need a translation? P.S. Any criminal police officer in their daily work does much more and accomplishes much more dangerous tasks than those that Dombrova currently boasts about as ministerial achievements.

⚠️ Dombrova boasts about these “achievements” as if he had fought an international smuggling ring, or personally arrested some organized crime leader. But, as they say - what you can't lift, you can't carry either. 1. He forbade police officers from Russian-speaking families to speak Russian among themselves, but if the wife or mother-in-law calls, they also can't speak Russian with them. 2. In Mucenieki, they found illegal migrants - really, are there that many? 3. In Mucenieki, migrants had their knives taken away so they couldn't “mushroom” in Garkalne forests. 4. They closed the Pāternieki border checkpoint, changing the explanation each interview - first technical problems, then illegal migration smuggling, later a security threat to Latvia. At the same time, no company of soldiers was sent to the checkpoint, they all sat in Ādaži. 5. Approximately 90 people were put on the blacklist. But Dombrava himself did not create this list, which people would be included - he simply put his signature. P.S. Any criminal police officer in their daily work does much more and accomplishes much more dangerous tasks than those with which Dombrova currently boasts as ministerial achievements. What do you think, are people really so naive and believe that these are achievements to be proud of?

@BaibaStrautmane I can already say this clearly = they cannot be independent industry organizations if they receive state funding for a long time. Period. I have already spoken about this before. This issue needs to be resolved.

18 years since Russia’s military aggression against Georgia. Still, 20% of Georgia’s territory remains under Russian occupation. Latvia will never recognise this and firmly supports Georgia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and internationally recognised borders. 🇱🇻🇬🇪 https://t.co/5DYOgbrpiY

@LapinsGirts @NA_Riga Earlier there were Lenin, Marx and Engels, now there are Šuvajevs, Jemberga and Kažoka. https://t.co/Q6YnFL8DrZ

Kulbergs' energetic activity is convincing proof that Latvia must switch to the election model proposed by MMN, where one votes not for parties but for individual personalities. Because Kulbergs is not even a member of any of the parties (that make up AS). He is independent of parties and acts on his own. Even more – AS without Kulbergs are the same stagnants who have been sitting there for years. The 'Irish' election model would guarantee that the next Saeima would have at least 50 Kulbergs and even more powerful ones than him, because MMN proposes to also remove office restrictions for candidates and give non-partisans the opportunity to be elected. So, it's not a forced matter – think for yourselves.
