@Aigars1972 Wind energy in Latvia is not subsidized.

@drosmedarit It is tragicomic that an organization based on lies and half-truths cries 'catch the thief'. If you supposedly deal with this issue for more than 5 minutes, you theoretically should know what and how IVN evaluates. And not for the first time I will repeat that the residual value of VES exceeds the utilization costs.

In a month and a half, we have achieved significant progress in all three government priorities in the justice sector! 🚀 Today, at the Cabinet of Ministers' action meeting on the implementation of the government's priority work, I reported on the results achieved in all three priority areas of the ministry. 👇 ✅ DONE: As early as tomorrow, 10 July, our developed regulation will come into force, which for the first time establishes a clear procedure for how the state will compensate losses caused by military incidents in peacetime. 2️⃣ We are advancing the judicial system reform. The Saeima has supported in the first reading amendments to the Law “On Judicial Power”, which provide for more efficient court work, the transition to the court lawyer model and a stronger role for the Judicial Council. 3️⃣ We continue unwavering support for Ukraine. We are advancing changes to the legal framework for supporting Ukrainian civilians in Latvia and strengthening cooperation with Ukraine's justice system on its path to the European Union. The work does not stop. @tieslietas we continue work on the next stages of the reform to strengthen national security, modernize the judicial system and ensure consistent Latvian support for Ukraine.

NATO Summit- a successful meeting. Major misunderstandings have been avoided. Major commitments reaffirmed. NATO 3.0 is in making. The Summit Declaration- concise and to the point. The only question: when is the next summit in Albania? The unconventional “we look forward to our next meeting” reflects divergences among Transatlantic allies. The speed and scope in defense investment and management of political differences among NATO members in coming months may be decisive for the date. NATO summit diplomacy is apparently both: national interest in collective defence and art of tension management. #WeAreNATO

@andrispp @Edgars_T @Apvienotais_ Almost interesting to read.... just one small “but” — the new wind generation projects in Latvia must ensure that icing does not form. Usually blade heating is used. Can you come up with another horror story?

The NATO summit in Ankara is to be assessed positively – disagreements did not overshadow the important decisions. In the context of Latvia, the most important ➡️ 🔹 NATO agreed to transform the Baltic air policing mission into a defense mission, strengthening air defense in the region. This is the result of long-term and purposeful cooperation of the Baltic states. 🔹 Canada is increasing and extending its force presence in Latvia, and together with Denmark and Latvia will take on leading nation responsibilities in the NATO multinational division "North" – implementing our previously reached agreement. Denmark, in turn, ensures that the rotation of troops with Sweden takes place every six months immediately and without gaps. 🔹 Over the next five years, NATO will invest more than 40 billion euros in drone and counter-drone capabilities. This opens new opportunities also for Latvia with our strong drone industry and the established unique Sēlija polygon as a NATO innovation testing environment. #StrongerTogether

I suggest @Edgars_T, @Apvienotais_ drink some calming tea and ask their colleagues from other ministries for information on inspection results. In a couple of months something will have been done. PS But there can't be and won't be results about generators under construction.

💡Let's meet at the conversation festival @FestivalsLAMPA in the pre-election debates "Empty chatter or how not to promise"! 📍Stage DOTS 🗓️July 10, 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM 📺Watch live: https://t.co/VTJ5obO1mk https://t.co/am9qjXV3it

Let's start with what you dislike the most - the truth and facts. Latvia has a number of existing regulations in various legal acts. In the regulation developed by KEM (only completed in spring), it was developed even more detailed, combining existing and new requirements in one normative act.

At first glance, the causes of the Liepāja accident are to be found in the human factor, not the technical condition of the equipment, since the wind park is still being built — it has not been put into operation. If a wind generator is properly installed and maintained, it produces electricity from wind for decades. https://t.co/gssous7pod

⚖️ The justice system must work for people – faster, smarter and more efficiently. Together with Prosecutor General Armīns Meisters, we agreed on joint work on significant changes that will strengthen Latvia's justice system. 📌 New Criminal Procedure Law. Our goal is simpler processes, less bureaucracy, and faster justice for people. Prosecutor resources must be concentrated where they create the greatest added value – in the investigation of the most complex and socially significant cases. 📈 Justice system as an economic driver. The legal environment must promote investment and entrepreneurship. Therefore, together with entrepreneurs and representatives of the justice sector, we will work on proposals to strengthen Latvia's competitiveness. 🛡️ Stronger cybersecurity. We will review the regulatory framework so that highly qualified cybersecurity experts, or 'white hackers,' can help protect state and public interests in a clear and lawful manner. 🇱🇻 The goal is one – a modern, effective, and results-oriented justice system that strengthens both justice and Latvia's security and economy.
