@VilnisKirsis@RigasDome@Jauna_Vienotiba@VilnisKirsis you say the project is important - at least put a diagram marking those sections. And at least something about the project's progress. What else is left, when something will be ready by sections.
Latvia wins when European forces work together, not separately. That is why it is gratifying that we have managed to agree with “Movement 'For!'”, “We – for Talsi and the region” and “Together for Liepāja” on their joining the @Progresivie lists. https://t.co/1QBFaQlhqH
European democratic forces must be united, ensuring the continuation of Latvia's Western-oriented course.

✅ VARAM and LDDK: common understanding on business development in Riga and regions. The Ministry of Smart Administration and Regional Development Minister Edgars Tavars met with the Latvian Employers' Confederation council to discuss the ministry's work priorities for the coming months and current business environment issues. The goal of the meeting was to strengthen cooperation between the state and employers to promote entrepreneurship. During the conversation, both sides affirmed a common vision on the need to reduce bureaucracy, strengthen municipalities' motivation for business development, and create a purposeful Riga development and industrialization policy. Improvements to state ICT governance, sustainable use of natural resources, and priorities for the next EU funds planning period were also discussed. The minister emphasized that Riga must compete with Tallinn, Vilnius, Stockholm, and Helsinki, not with Latvian cities, while stressing that a strong capital city and strong regions are mutually complementary prerequisites for Latvia's growth. At the end of the meeting, VARAM and LDDK confirmed readiness to continue close cooperation to drive changes important for the business environment and strengthen Latvia's competitiveness. #APVIENOTAISSARAKSTS#LDDK#Reģioni#EdgarsTavars
Valdis Dombrovskis (JV): The European Union is by far the largest financial supporter of Ukraine. In total, support has been provided in the amount of approximately 211 billion euros. [..] The 90 billion euro loan package is intended to cover approximately 2/3 of Ukraine's financing needs for this and next year. The remaining third is also covered by other partners.
The European Union has today paid out the first three billion euros of the new 90-billion-euro loan to Ukraine, announced European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. EU Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Valdis Dombrovskis (JV) said in an interview with Latvian Television that, in his view, support for Ukraine must be provided for as long as necessary. https://t.co/ikBw0fUDpR

I have informed the head of PMLP about several identified violations in the operation of the asylum accommodation center and indicated that the responsible official cannot continue to perform the duties of the head of the asylum seeker accommodation department. The safety of Latvian citizens comes first, so it will not be allowed that persons who allow immigrants to commit repeated gross violations of rules are in the leadership of internal affairs institutions.

Today, with the Minister of Education and Science Ilze Indriksone, we agreed on a common vision of how the higher education sector should change regarding the attraction of foreign students. Studies must not serve as a cover for economic immigration - strict control over foreign students is necessary. During the meeting, we discussed the necessary changes to the regulatory framework regarding mechanisms for monitoring the admission and residence of foreign students.
If historically we have been European leaders, why shouldn't we repeat that today? Finland, with less sun and much not-so-fertile soil, can produce more per hectare. In Finland, revenue per hectare exceeds €2000, while here it is around €900. https://t.co/HVx5tCAGui

The order requires strict compliance with the state language requirements and not to use Russian in institutional advertisements, official websites, projects supported or implemented by the ministry, as well as in organized international events. Puntulis notes that Latvian is the only state language whose status is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Latvia, and state institutions have an obligation to strengthen its use in the public sphere.
The European Parliament's Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) and Security and Defence (SEDE) committees have supported the new European Union defence innovation programme AGILE, which aims to strengthen European security. Within its framework, it is planned to accelerate the defence innovation cycle and promote the introduction of new technologies in member states' armed forces and European defence companies. “Europe cannot afford to be slow at a time when the threat is growing so rapidly. The war has shown that in modern defence, a fast and effective innovation cycle is crucial. Under the new programme, funding will be allocated quickly, bureaucracy will be reduced to a minimum, and doors will be firmly closed to those who do not respect our values. Innovation is Europe's strength, and it is time to fully harness this strength,” emphasises the European Parliament's Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) committee's lead rapporteur, Member of the European Parliament and candidate for Prime Minister Ivars @Ijabs (“Latvijas attīstībai”).

@lara_smh@CitifyLV@Briskens That metrobus was actually my team's initiative. And yes, unfortunately Briškens, looking for money for the RB project, took it. The good news is that the project is at a high readiness stage and it can and should be implemented.
