Latvian Political Monitor

Attention❗️ I urge Latvian residents to abandon plans to travel to Belarus or to return if you are there. In the conditions of Belarus's expanded migration hybrid war, safe movement between countries may become difficult. Additionally. Estonia is a friend of Latvia. I inform that after our meeting last week with Estonia's Minister of the Interior I. Taro, he has informed me that Estonia is sending additional border guards to strengthen Latvia's external border.

Yesterday, were the people at the Freedom Monument paid or were the useful ones free? What does the posters in Russian and the group that identified with Palestinians and their flags have to do with Latvia and Latvian non-governmental organizations? Who are those progressives who have totally brainwashed the youth? What were you, young people, fighting for yesterday? Wake up once and for all! They consider you complete fools who are simply used in pickets to achieve their anti-state goals! Blood runs cold seeing all this. Something is seriously wrong in our country! Who let the progressives into the government?

@Mikipele6 @atis_svinka @AndrisKulbergs If the whole society were fully informed about the waste of money through six-figure studies and all the 'redesigns', people at Gogol Street near the Ministry of Transport would be standing with pitchforks. https://t.co/VhXYeGWvTn

As you yourself mentioned today on TV3 news, in a short while the independent expert audit 🇪🇸 on Rail Baltica will be completed, which @atis_svinka commissioned back in the day. Remember, @AndrisKulbergs, how difficult it was for you and our whole committee to investigate this entire process, because a large part of the documents were unjustifiably classified or had restricted access. When this report is ready, both your voter and the public as a whole, I believe, will greatly appreciate full transparency, despite the fact that again there will be talk of commercial secrets and all the other excuses we already encountered once in PIEC. The project's commissioner and final payer is none other than Latvian society. You know that better than I do. Therefore, please make sure that the content of this report is accessible to everyone. Don't be like them. 👍🙏

I feel shame, anger and sadness. A 17M euro institution is busy with stupid things, but does not see theft and corruption. https://t.co/46P9mey32x

❗️Report from the Progressives' protest. Latvija latviešiem participated in this protest and also expressed its opinion, but the Progressives did not like our opinion. Let us remind that Latvia will not be an immigrant hostel! #LatvijaLatviešiem https://t.co/IhIBp4Xw88

Latvia's competitiveness will depend on how successfully we can create, protect and turn innovations into economic growth. 📈 Intellectual property is not just legal protection. It is a tool that helps companies grow, attract investment and create high value-added products. That is how well-paid jobs and a stronger Latvian economy are created. That is why we must strengthen the role of intellectual property in innovation policy, promote technology transfer and create a more favourable environment for knowledge-intensive companies and start-ups. The OECD assessment also emphasises this direction. Today at the Patent Office, together with its director Agris Batalauskis, we discussed the next steps towards achieving this goal. We agree – intellectual property is one of the most important preconditions for the development of innovation and economic growth. Ideas and knowledge created in Latvia must become competitive products and services that create value for our country. That is the path to a more modern, smarter and more competitive Latvia! 🇱🇻

Civic activity is commendable, but what I saw and heard at the Freedom Monument is empty shouting. Logically, NGO funding will have to be reviewed. I repeat that tax money should not be used to support converters and pseudo-integrators of illegal migrants. https://t.co/Ffk2ZQ5Ira

It is important that sports federations are not dependent only on state budget funds. Therefore, there should also be additional financing, giving the LOK the opportunity to work more actively with partners both in Latvia and abroad. We agreed on this with LOK president R. Lazdiņš. https://t.co/hfvHrHlIsS

The police have detained an Indian citizen - a drug distributor who had created more than 100 drug caches in various Latvian cities. Last autumn, a young woman died in Kuldīga hospital from drug poisoning. The State Police detained the man, an Indian citizen. A detention measure was applied to the man. In total, 390 MDMA tablets and 151 LSD-soaked papers were found and seized from illegal circulation. The investigation in the criminal process has been completed and the criminal process has been handed over to the prosecutor's office for the initiation of criminal prosecution.

Another step closer to a stable and sustainable Latvian sports financing system. 🇱🇻 I have advocated for the creation of the Sports Fund from the very beginning, and it was my and @Jauna_Vienotiba's idea to create both the fund itself and a special sports lottery as one of the fund's financing sources. We hope that the Ministry of Finance has accepted this solution and that Latvijas Loto is ready to implement it. Now the most important thing — to finish the work in commission meetings and ensure that the Sports Fund starts operating as soon as possible. 🏆 @DDaugavietis45

Both those who themselves create hateful materials and those who spread the statements of others, including deliberately sharing such information on social networks, are called to responsibility for hate crimes. The argument 'I am not the author' does not relieve one of responsibility.
