I don't know whether it was a sensible idea to launch such an aggressive and unmanly attack against MMN (calling our people garbage and riffraff) the very next day after submitting the lists, but since Jurģis Liepnieks is very experienced in Latvian politics, I suppose he knows what he is doing and apparently that's how they do things here. The only thing left unsaid in his post is that he actively tried to persuade me to merge and take in Jaunups' party, but we didn't fall for it.

I personally know a few people from MMN. Respectable, smart, talented people. How exactly they gathered around themselves such scum from the most miserable garbage bins, and how exactly they intend to work with them, will remain a mystery to me. From the Zīgerists and Sudraba party, to former Gobzems and ZZS members! What a selection! How can one even find and gather such people together?

Back then @Nekapersoniga exposed the selling of fake higher education diplomas in the name of the nonexistent York University https://t.co/aF1VBjZ9ok. Six years have passed and two graduates of York University are already visible on the lists of candidates for the 15th Saeima. @CVK_zinas

Operation “How not to change the rules and preserve the existing politico-economic system in Latvia” is happening right now, live, and in the context of elections, the whole nation is its participants. At the beginning of this year, the “big boys” (those who receive those salaries of 10k per month in the state administration, plus businessmen who feed on state orders, plus Rinkēvičs) realized that the JV tram has broken down, spent its resources, turned into a wrestling ring of female politicians, realized that a new plan is needed to stay in power. Because in Latvia, real power is theirs, not the politicians'. Plus the media, of course. And the operation began - “how to preserve and save the system that feeds everyone”. The main task was to find a political figure and political force that would create for the people the illusion of change that everyone has longed for. It should be understood that Latvian business is still 50% connected to the state trough, the system established by Šķēle is still alive, as is his famous saying, which everyone knows. Then think for yourselves. I recommend paying attention to who benefits from selling a cosmetic repair to the people as a major overhaul. And in no case change the rules.

“Latvijas attīstībai” has successfully submitted its candidate list for this year's Saeima elections. 🤝💯 Our team, led by Ivars Ijabs, is ready to fight for liberal values, voter trust, and for a Latvia that is not stuck in place but rapidly developing. 📈 Prime Minister candidate Ivars Ijabs: “European, liberal, optimistic democracy is the only possible path for Latvia's development. Our goal is to do everything possible to keep alive in Latvia and Latvian politics the idea that it is freedom that creates prosperity. Freedom creates economic growth, freedom attracts investment and creates innovation. It does not arise because some ministry says it must arise; it grows and thrives where no ministry interferes. Where people are allowed to live and express themselves. From the state, these people expect effective rule of law, security, schools, hospitals, roads, small government, little regulation, and also as low taxes as possible. If I have the opportunity to form and lead the government, I will truly consider it an honor and privilege to show and prove that everything mentioned is truly possible and works.” 📝 Get acquainted with our candidate list and election program on our website https://t.co/6Ubw3PRqnq . 🗳️ On October 3, vote for “Latvijas attīstībai”!

July 4 – a stark reminder of the tragic consequences of hatred. The burning of synagogues and the killing of innocent people during the Nazi occupation became a symbol of the horrors of the Holocaust in Latvia. More than 70,000 Latvian Jews were murdered. Never again. 🕯️

Since Latvia's Russians support Russia, local content should be given to them in Russian. And the more Russian content they are given, the more they will come to love Latvia and Latvians. We have been hearing this for 30 years. And from PRO experts as well as from Rosļikov-Ždanoka. https://t.co/K9FMtvWxkN
