From@ArtursButans✅In the Saeima, my and @VL_TBLNNK proposals in the Electronic Mass Media Law were supported - to allow advertisements only in the state language. ✅ In the SEPLP law, the @Satv_tiesa decision was enshrined that the state must stop creating content in Russian. Both still face the 3rd reading. #mediji #valoda

📍Today the Saeima Human Rights and Public Affairs Committee supported in the second reading amendments to the Law on Public Electronic Mass Media and their Management. I supported the version of the law that ensures the implementation of the Constitutional Court ruling, strengthens the role of the Latvian language as the only state language in public media, and does not allow generalizations that would permit the inclusion of undefined Russian-language content in the media. 🇱🇻 A strong Latvian language is the foundation of a strong Latvian information space. 🔗More here: https://t.co/qUAFkS2Ju3
Reducing over-regulation, i.e., bureaucracy, and taxes is the key to Latvian wealth. Let's abolish the real estate tax for the only residence, double the tax-free allowance for each dependent, and the micro-enterprise tax rate will be 10% for turnover up to 50,000 euros per year. People themselves know how to spend what they earn.
@artuss @MStakis @Progresivie @janisdombrava Mičerevskis also paid for the KEF role 😅

These are available to everyone, and @J_Hermanis explains and analyzes them excellently and regularly. Anyone can look into his X account to see precise, clear tables based on reliable statistical sources. I regularly follow and read them – for careful readers, this situation is, regrettably, nothing new. And the picture is this: Latvia is the least successful of the Baltic states and one of the poorest in the EU - with a low level of healthcare, yet high corruption. Therefore, all this posing of the 'LAMPA' audience and claims of some intellectual contribution to the country's development is only wishful thinking presented as reality. Namely - shameless demagoguery. Moreover, 'LAMPA' traditionally gathers precisely the circle responsible for this terrible situation. And these very people most often have personally earned very well themselves. They can continue to 'fry' and dance disco, but they have nothing to do with honest governance and intellect. We see that from the results.

@fineside420 @MStakis @Progresivie @janisdombrava Also my grandma has such a pension. Children/grandchildren help as much as we can, etc. But that's not the point. We discuss/argue respectfully and it will be for the first round. Without malice!👍🙏🏼
From@fineside420@CerinsAivis @MStakis @Progresivie @janisdombrava I also know both of them 😀🧑🌾 Of course, how can you not respect when you have to struggle around Riga. It will be hard to face everyday life and comfort to see the true face of everyday life🧑🌾 I apologise if your Chekists are in the shallows of Ķīšezers😉🧑🌾 I also apologise on behalf of those pensioners with a 400 euro pension.

The Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education and Science will jointly review projects financed by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and will not support those that do not comply with national interests.
Our goal is not to demand ever more documents, but to ensure that public services are understandable, accessible and people-oriented. The state should be support, not a bureaucratic obstacle! What do the amendments mean in practice? ✅ If a child was born abroad and adoption or paternity was later established in Latvia, it will no longer be necessary to prove that such changes cannot be made in the child's country of birth. Fewer documents, faster process. ✅ Adopters will be able to submit an application for re-registration of the child's birth fact at any Latvian civil registry office, not only in Riga. ✅ Wider possibilities to change the name or surname of a minor child born abroad, for example by assigning the surname of one of the parents or renouncing a second name not used in everyday life, even if the child's country of birth does not make such changes. ✅ The procedure for concluding a marriage is also being clarified, making the regulation clearer and more uniform.
From@TieslietasThe Cabinet of Ministers has supported amendments to the Civil Status Registration Law prepared by the Ministry of Justice, which will simplify the handling of important legal matters for families. More: https://t.co/eZ0TvSy6qw ℹ️ The amendments are planned to take effect on 01/01/2027 and still need to be reviewed by the Saeima.

From@IZM_gov_lv🟣 Today, on July 14, @IZM_gov_lv and @VIAA_LV presented the initial results of the centralized exams. 📊 In the 2025/2026 school year, average centralized exam results in basic education remained at a similar level, while in secondary education they improved in several exams. 📈 In total, 47,647 centralized exam and monitoring works were received and assessed in basic education, and 30,881 certificates were issued. In secondary education, 74,646 centralized exam works were assessed and 70,490 certificates were issued. 💬 Minister of Education and Science @IIndriksone emphasized: “Centralized exams as a measurement provide uniform, objective criteria and comparable data on the quality of education. This assessment is important because it serves as the main and fairest tool for student selection and admission to the next stages of education – both for upper secondary school and university studies. However, at the same time, the exam should not be a punishment for shortcomings in the learning process, which are often influenced by circumstances independent of the student. We must provide a second chance for those who wish to improve their performance and move forward on their educational journey, as well as opportunities for young people who can prove themselves better practically, for example in vocational education.” More information about centralized exam results and the presentation 👉 https://t.co/ZlSuEzAZJK
