The guys in the government are in over their heads. We already showed Russia its place, now we taught Spain a lesson. Overall, the reality show 'government' is quite interesting so far, and society appreciates it.
@AndrisTaurins @Oslejs Exactly my feeling... much better, patriotic people, I met many who have returned back after living in Riga, including the owner of Ausmaņa Kebabs with his family.
From@AndrisTaurinsJust returned from the Latgale tour. I responded to @Oslejs's call, who responded to @AndrisKulbergs's call to spend vacation euros in Latgale. 20 years ago I felt greater hopelessness in Latgale. Now there are many reasons to look to the future brightly. If only more children would be born.. https://t.co/U8pk7aG9Xi

@io7246 Today there was a conceptual discussion in the Cabinet of Ministers about this. Whether there is readiness and support to address it. We will analyze co-ownership and other situations once we start formulating a more detailed proposal. But it must be addressed, because in my opinion it is everyone's right to control what happens to their property.
From@io7246Regarding declaration. Will it be stipulated that one can declare their residence in co-owned property only with the consent of all co-owners? @EdvardsSmiltens https://t.co/JtkmjFvLSx

Yet another proof that NA should not be trusted with leading the Interior Ministry. @janisdombrava is causing ever greater chaos and now a direct threat to Latvia's security. It is unthinkable that he tries to lecture Spain with his advice. Allies must be supported, not blamed. Spanish forces within the NATO brigade strengthen our security. We are grateful to Spain and the about 800 Spanish soldiers who daily stand shoulder to shoulder to guard Latvia. Spain is our ally, and Latvia's duty is to provide support in times of crisis.

@AndrisKulbergs @RSiltums Among all those flattering words, could you at least honestly say that you again want to reinstate golden visas as it once was, or will you explain your sponsors' wishes differently?
From@AndrisKulbergsDay No. 50 in the prime minister's chair — @RSiltums tariff, 🇧🇾 border, TUA, declaration in private property, 🇪🇺 fund redistribution. Today the Cabinet of Ministers reviewed several important issues — from heating costs in Riga and security on the 🇧🇾 border to attracting investment, protecting owners' rights and using 🇪🇺 funds. 🔥 RIGA HEAT TARIFF — GOAL: CHEAPEST HEATING AMONG BALTIC CAPITALS. Finally the day has come when the Cabinet reviewed the proposals that the investigative commission on “Riga Heat”, led by me, had developed in the Saeima. As prime minister, I tasked the climate and energy minister @JanisVitenbergs to evaluate these proposals in detail and prepare a concrete action plan. Many thanks to the minister and his team, especially state secretary @LigaKurevska, for the scrupulously developed plan: short-term — already for this heating season; medium-term — until 2027; long-term — after 2028. The goal is clear — to achieve the lowest heating tariff in Riga among the Baltic capitals. Main proposals: publish all essential heat supply data; evaluate transferring @Latvenergo's water-heating boilers to the management of “Riga Heat”; task SPRK to review the cogeneration tariff methodology of “Latvenergo”; set priority for using residual heat; reduce administrative costs and end waste of funds; change the shareholder structure of “Riga Heat” so that the company finally has a clear and responsible owner; evaluate integrating “Riga BioEnergy” into “Riga Heat”; evaluate the CHP operating model after 2028; promote modernization and long-term development. The Cabinet decided that the economy minister @ViktorsValainis, in cooperation with the Ministry of Climate and Energy, must develop a national proposal for the best management model for “Riga Heat”. This decision cannot be postponed. The company's development and the tariff reduction needed by Riga residents must not be stalled. 💶 TUA SYSTEM — END THE OLD SYSTEM AND DEVELOP A NEW, MODERN INVESTMENT ATTRACTION MODEL. Interior minister @janisdombrava reported on the temporary residence permit (TUA) system. The current system is outdated, exhausted, and not oriented toward attracting the kind of investment truly needed for Latvia's economic development. The report is to be supplemented with an analysis of other EU countries' experience, so that a decision can be made on creating a new and modern system. Goal: attract investors from allied countries; attract wealthy and successful entrepreneurs who create companies, jobs and tax revenue in Latvia; attract more than 100 million euros per year in investment and budget fund programs. Latvia does not need the selling of residence permits. Latvia needs smart, secure and state-beneficial investment instruments. 🏠 DECLARING RESIDENCE IN PRIVATE PROPERTY — ONLY WITH THE OWNER'S KNOWLEDGE. Justice minister @EdvardsSmiltens came with a very good proposal to regulate the declaration system in private properties. Currently, private individuals or legal entities in some cases can declare residence without the owner's knowledge. That is unacceptable. The proposed solution envisages that the owner automatically receives a request; declaration would be registered only after the owner's consent; the owner would have the option to reject the request. The task is to prepare a specific solution and implementation timeline in the near future. Private property also means the owner's right to know and decide who declares residence there. 🛡️ 🇧🇾 BORDER — There is a plan to address illegal migration. The Cabinet reviewed the interior minister's report on the illegal migration flow at the 🇧🇾 border, current statistics and possible solutions. The minister also informed about technical problems at border points and their prevention. We evaluated all proposals, such as: limiting the flow of illegal migrants; improving border control; strengthening technical surveillance; targeting the organizers of the hybrid attack. No decision was made today on fully closing the 🇧🇾 border, but this option remains as one of the courses of action if the migration flow creates a significant threat. The border is under control. In August, targeted and pre-planned measures are planned in cooperation between the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Defense and the National Armed Forces to influence and disrupt the activities of the organizers of this migration hybrid attack. 🇪🇺 EU FUNDS — MONEY MUST BE DIRECTED TO STIMULATING THE ECONOMY. I am preparing for the EU fund committee meeting scheduled for Thursday, which has not been convened for a very long time. Agenda: redistribution of existing EU funds and the wishes submitted by ministries; directing funding to priority projects; discussion on the principles and conditions of the new EU fund period — 2029–2034. European fund financing must not be merely a wish list of ministries.

Unfortunately, 16 years in the Saeima have not taught Mr. Dombrava that foreign policy is a complex and responsible matter, and now he endangers Latvia's security by trying his hand at the epistolary genre. https://t.co/eNaaRTzHoi

From@DievaSunsI foresee that the NA voter will have to defend Dombrava. He is inconvenient to the system. First his own people, then coalition partners, will try to 'bite' him. In Dombrava's place, I would not back away from the topic of closing the Belarusian border and would expose Kulbergs' true face, the sooner the better.

From@ltvzinasInterior Minister Jānis Dombrava (NA) has sent a letter to Spain regarding the border crisis in Ceuta, where tens of thousands of people broke in from Morocco. In Madrid, this letter was received sensitively. Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs (AS) has admonished the interior minister that in the future, when communicating with foreign countries, the content must be coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 🖥️ https://t.co/RfuXaQN2zF
