@LV_visiem@eliina_balode I completely agree, these are some of the conclusions after submitting the application, which will be reflected in part 2 of the video.
@LLatviesiem@eliina_balode That is unforgivable. To work in Latvia and serve clients, you must know the state language. English is not enough. Please write an application to the State Language Center. They need to deal with Bolt's illegalities.
In Latvia, a total of 7,500 food delivery couriers are officially registered, half of whom are citizens of third countries. The question arises how easy it is to become a food deliverer? Part 1 – experiment #LatvijaLatviešiem#NavApmaksātaReklāmaBoltFoodhttps://t.co/cddPPbbD2t

Societal cohesion and integration must be based on the Latvian language.
In my view, during the time of former Culture Minister Agnese Lāce, much happened bilingually or even on the basis of the Russian language.
That is not acceptable and will no longer happen.
Latvia has one official language - Latvian - and immigrants or third-country students should not be thrown into the Russian-language information space immediately upon arrival, thereby in effect continuing the Russification begun during the Soviet occupation.
I will mention just a few newly discovered examples from Agnese Lāce's time leading the Ministry of Culture -
1) A project for 99,820 euros, which emphasises that special attention must also be paid to the availability of information in Russian, in order to reach students from... Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.
2) A project for 99,999.76 euros, which provides for the publication of bilingual comics using... also the Russian language.
3) A project for 69,549.27 euros, where the inclusion of third-country citizens in society is intended to be implemented by ensuring multilingual communication and overcoming the language barrier also in the languages of specific communities or in the most common intermediary languages among them.
So one can also integrate into Latvian society on the basis of the Russian language. This is contrary to the Constitution.
It will be proposed to change these contract terms. If that fails, they will not be able to continue.
Societal cohesion in Latvia from now on will take place on the basis of the Latvian language.
"Golden visas" should be left in the past. We call on the President to return the adopted bill to the Saeima and correct this mistake. Trading in residence permits will harm Latvia's international reputation, not to mention security and corruption risks. https://t.co/6m6zDDr3tY

ASL believes that the main reason for Latvia's economic backwardness is the excessive labor tax burden. The solution is the largest tax burden reduction in Latvia's history. ASL proposes a plan to double Latvia's economy. https://t.co/xZfObBIxAC
Bureaucracy vs agronomy: do officials really know better when to plow the land? In its 'Green Course' plans, the Bank of Latvia tries to point to plowed fields in winter as something unfavorable for biodiversity. But the reality in the field is completely different. As a farmer, I know that every farm is different. On our farm we plow in autumn so that the soil prepares over winter and is ready for sowing in spring. Spring plowing dries out quickly and doesn't give the needed result. Decisions need to be made by agronomists and farmers themselves on site, not in offices in Riga or Brussels. @ZZS_ believes: farmers need trust and stability, not new bureaucratic obstacles and problems with getting loans from banks. Let's farm sensibly and efficiently!
This attack tonight on the Monastery by the Russians in Kyiv makes no sense. It has a parallel with the bombing of London’s St. Paul’s in 1940 by the Germans. It won’t work. Someone tell me the military necessity of the Russian attack. There is none. https://t.co/7QLzpEQPkW

Latvia strongly condemns the aggressor state’s air strikes on Ukrainian civilians on the night of June 15th. These are yet another terrorist attacks against the peaceful Ukrainian people. Condolences to the victims and their loved ones. Holy Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a major centre for Ukrainian Christians and also listed as a UNESCO cultural heritage, has also suffered seriously. Russia has nothing sacred, it should be stopped and isolated!
611 drones of various types and 70 missiles were launched by russia against Ukraine this night. Half of the missiles were ballistic. Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv were under attack. In the capital, 4 people are currently known to have been killed and 30 injured, including children aged five and six. Damage was recorded in nine districts of the city. Among the damaged sites are the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Mystetskyi Arsenal, the Oleksandr Dovzhenko Kyiv Film Studio, and other civilian infrastructure. russia continues to strike Ukrainian homes, Ukrainian culture, Ukrainian faith, and the very foundations of international law. These are not accidental hits. This is deliberate terror against people, memory, and the very basis of our life. In Kharkiv, five rescuers were killed during a repeated strike. People who came to save others became targets of the terrorist state themselves. My sincere condolences to the families of those killed. Strength to all the injured and affected. I thank our air defence forces, rescuers, medics, police officers, utility workers, and everyone helping those affected. Special gratitude to our partners who help replenish stocks of anti-ballistic missiles to repel such russian attacks. Ukraine needs additional air defence systems, interceptors, stronger sanctions, and decisions that will deprive russia of the ability to continue this war.
@EdvinsSnore@cosmix About where and when the red-white-red flag was first publicly raised, several versions have been heard, but in any case it was already before the 14.06.1988 mentioned at the beginning of the article. Of the versions I have heard, the first time was already at the end of May at the Baltic states' student song festival.

🙏 Today we commemorate the victims of the deportation of 14 June 1941 – thousands of innocent Latvian people who were violently torn from their homes, separated from their families and sent on distant paths of exile under the Soviet regime. It was a cruel crime against the Latvian nation, its freedom, dignity and the right to live in its own land. 🕯 Today we honour the politically repressed, their families and those tormented compatriots who never returned from the far reaches of Siberia. #deportations#14june#genocide#repressed#Siberia

Excellent article about how the Awakening began in 1987. As a schoolboy I took part in most of the events mentioned in the article and remember them exactly as described. Not through the prism of the LCP/LTF/4 May, as is customary today. https://t.co/o7xCjStQUChttps://t.co/xokm4tR7WE
In modern history, exactly 14 June 1987 marked the starting shot on the road to Latvia's independence. All the creative unions' plenums, Mavriks Vulfson's speeches and the Popular Front's demonstrations in Mežaparks came later. It is a bit sad and at the same time regrettable that some former Popular Front activists, who today occupy considerably more respectable social positions than the former Helsinki-86 participants, try to minimize what these pioneers of the independence struggle did, keep silent about their contribution to the common cause, and emphasize only their own contribution to the restoration of independence. They should remember more often that they walked along a path that others had already broken. For the tragic mourning date, 14 June, Latvia also has a brighter, more inspiring side - https://t.co/Q65EMBY6WU via @nralv
⚖️Immigration must be limited and deportation must begin.
The Saeima majority rejected @VL_TBLNNK proposals:
👉🏻 on denying self-employed status;
👉🏻 on the A2 state language requirement;
👉🏻 on immigrant quotas or limits.
But we will definitely propose them again.

Remember. Honor. Don't let forget. Today in Gulbene we commemorated the victims of the 1941 deportations. May their fates remain in our nation's memory forever.
In Litene we bow our heads before our killed and deported soldiers. Remembering and honoring, we realize - the state must be defended every day and together we must build strength for the future of our country.

🇱🇻 A state that was sought to be destroyed through deportations has been restored. Yet the consequences of occupation live on in politics, law, and public consciousness much longer than the regime itself. 🕯️ Visited the event of Dzintra Geka-Vaska and the foundation “Sibīrijas bērni,” and today laid flowers in memory of the victims of communist genocide, I reflected on how long the consequences of injustice persist. On 14 June 1941, more than 15,400 people were deported from Latvia. Among them were more than 3,700 children. Thousands perished in exile and imprisonment. Then the goal was not just to take people away. The goal was to break the Latvian state, its sense of freedom, and its faith in an independent Latvia. The longer I work in politics, the more I see that 14 June is not just history. The consequences are still with us. We feel them in attempts to rewrite history and justify occupation crimes in Russia's war against Ukraine, where children are again being deported and nations' rights to exist are denied. We also encounter consequences in everyday life, where we still have to defend seemingly self-evident things – the Latvian language as the sole state language, historical truth, and the foundations of the Latvian state enshrined in the Satversme. Therefore 14 June is not only a memorial day. It is also a responsibility. A responsibility to safeguard historical truth, the rule of law, and to prevent crimes against humanity from remaining without consequences. That is why it is important for me to fight for Russia to answer for the war crimes and aggression it has committed against Ukraine. To continue work on establishing a special tribunal to examine the crime of aggression and an international compensation mechanism for victims. The aggressor must answer for what it has done. Because injustice that is not named and punished does not disappear. It returns. Always. May the memory of the victims of communist genocide shine bright. Eternal sun to a free, independent, and just Latvia! 🇱🇻
Our warriors have achieved good results in applying long-range sanctions against important facilities on the territory of Russia and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. More than 700 kilometers from our state border, in Russia's Yaroslavl region, SSU warriors struck an oil facility that was important for the reserves of the aggressor state. Warriors of our army reached their targets in Russia's Tula region – specifically, the Azot plant, whose operations are critical to explosives production capabilities. Air traffic restrictions were imposed at six Russian airports, and overall, since yesterday evening, 28 regions of Russia have been under air raid alerts. There were also hits on the occupier's military logistics in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Ukraine is carrying out its plan of long-range sanctions against Russia and the assigned tasks regarding mid-range strikes in response to Russia's refusal to end this war. We have offered the Russian leadership every possible format for negotiations – and the only response was continued aggression and attempts to expand it. It stands to reason that the war is coming back to where it came from. Ukraine needs peace. Glory to Ukraine!

I see that rus.lsm, rus.tvnet and the Russian-language media in general still cannot recover from the shock that Dombrava is the Minister of the Interior in Latvia. People in Belarus are also bewildered (video). The Russian information space is trying to find an explanation for how this could have happened.
