It's good that people are starting to understand why Latvia needed a better defense minister than PRO could ever offer.

The former PROG defense minister Sprūds's story about the 'drone wall' was simply ridiculous. Now it's no wonder why former Prime Minister Evika Siliņa wanted to get rid of the PROG officials' representation in the defense ministry, because they couldn't cope with their tasks.

@rolandsozolins If the coalition doesn't support it, then there's no point pretending to be reformers and degrading the idea of changing the rules. That only does greater harm, because it deprives the public of the opportunity for genuine reforms rather than their imitation.

@AlvisHermanis1 Political will means the will of the coalition. There are no shortcuts.

What could have been done in these 4 months? MMN's answer: Open the budget, reduce at least 850 million, about which LDDK and he himself used to boil all the time. Liquidate SIF, liquidate the Civil Service law, send law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies everywhere where money absorption schemes happen, from NGOs to all kinds of Rail Baltics. Give the state media back to the people. But that requires political will. Such a small thing.

I would liquidate SIF, liquidate the Civil Service Law, send law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies everywhere where money-spending schemes occur, from NGOs to all kinds of Rail Baltica. I would give state media back to the people.

@AlvisHermanis1 By putting down your competitor like this, you become just like the current Saeima wise guys. Then tell us yourself specifically what you would do better, say, or arrange in his place.

Claims that US investments are leaving Latvia do not match the facts. They continue to arrive, new projects are being developed and jobs are being created https://t.co/wxyJfkR6DR

The law alone is not enough; it is important to also understand the will of the legislator. About the explanatory report – a new legal auxiliary – and its significance, I write more here: https://t.co/Q6obmx4ppx

@NellijaL Boasting that the labeling of LPV as Kremlinites in a question to the president is at Lampas cepiens level.

We've seen everything, but no deputy had yet torn up the magazine IR at the Saeima rostrum. Armaņeva doesn't like our questions to the President 🤷‍♀️ That may be. But there's no need to distort IR's argument about what a pro-Kremlin coalition is. Because it's not about knowledge of the Russian language. https://t.co/MMCb2SSTG6

Day No. 41 listening to the prime minister's evening talk on the small screen. Conclusions: Kulbergs is the same as Briškens, just for a different audience. Long, long sentences, zero work. Everyone who has dealt with car salesmen knows that these skills of hoodwinking the public are well practiced by them. Also it reminds me of a situation well recognized by women: a slick talker appears who speaks beautifully and constantly hoodwinks that woman. When he finally gets her into bed, then there too he continues to talk and talk and talk. The woman waits to see if he will finally do something with her or not? If not, then what could be the reason?

@Vinotava @RicardsMiezitis @janisdombrava We can also call it a pre-election campaign. In that case, we are good.

Aivis, a minister doesn't have to be in raids, the minister is the political leadership of the ministry. He is not a national guard here. If he harasses someone with a question during a raid, he could get a slap. What functions does he perform? This is a dull and humiliating pre-election campaign.

The best response to sabotage against the association 'Tavi Draugi' is support for it and Ukraine. ❗️WE DONATE: LV21HABA0551046111790 or by calling the 'Tavi draugi' donation phone 90006865. Also volunteer work is needed from next week, info at the association.. https://t.co/SHMiIUKAYR

The State Security Service together with the State Police are investigating a fire that occurred last weekend on the territory of the Ukrainian support association 'Tavi draugi'. The association reports serious damage to its office, warehouse, and logistics center. https://t.co/EpebkvgpKX https://t.co/TPXOYqPWHk

One of the main goals of 'Austošā Saule' since 2020 has been, through its activity and demands, to also push other parties and overall state policy in a more right-wing - more national - direction. To stir up, to awaken from complacency, to make them compete over who will fight for the Latvian in his own country, not over who will be more centrist, more tolerant and more inclusive. We could not have achieved this only with good intentions and speeches, but by becoming a force and growing our influence. Therefore, I can only positively assess the anti-immigration raids carried out by the internal affairs structures in Riga - both in essence and as a sign of political change. However, the pendulum can also swing back very quickly, as has happened several times when elections have ended and coalitions are formed with left-liberal forces. Not only the sustainability of change, but also greater scope in the national direction after October 3 depends on whether 'Austošā Saule Latvijai' will be a force with influence in the Saeima as well. For family, nation and state! FOR THE REVIVAL OF LATVIAN LATVIA!

🇱🇻🇱🇹 Today in Liepāja I had the genuine pleasure of hosting the Lithuanian Minister of Justice, Rita Tamašunienė. Ukraine's defence against Russia's full-scale aggression has vividly demonstrated that security begins with resilient state institutions. We shared Latvia's experience in strengthening the resilience of the judicial system, visited Liepāja Prison, and discussed with the leadership of Liepāja's state city municipality the city's development and the plans of Lithuanian investors. Most importantly — we decided to soon meet in the circle of Baltic justice ministers to jointly strengthen the resilience and security of our countries. I am convinced that close cooperation is our greatest strength. 🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪 And one more beautiful coincidence – in Latvian and Lithuanian the word summer sounds the same. We agreed that the Baltic summer is the most beautiful. And even more importantly – we will do everything possible so that people in the Baltic region feel safe, protected, and confident in their country. ☀️

In connection with the prosecutor's protest submitted on June 16 of this year, the government led by A. Kulbergs must return to the consideration of the prosecutor's protest and annul the previously adopted decision insofar as it contradicts the law.

If Vienotība and Progresīvie call themselves such state-minded politicians, then they should stop howling like raccoons, gentlemanly admit that we were wrong, help sort out this issue ourselves and move on. Otherwise it's cretinous behavior. https://t.co/tKEW4jKnTo
