airBaltic has repaid the first €6.4 million of the state loan received a month ago. Over the past month, the company has worked intensively, closely cooperating with @Sat_min. By the end of the week, airBaltic must submit a business plan for its future operations. https://t.co/fFdomZ5dwA

@liana_langa My native language is Latvian. In my reply to you, I only mentioned Russian in the text that it is not my native language. Everything else you made up yourself. Logically, it does not need to be specially learned, because there are people who already know it and other languages and can perform certain duties.

Sorry, what is your native language? No, European jobs do not require knowledge of the language of the Russian Federation, which has no official status in Europe! Didn't you know? If you think that police officers in Latvia should learn Russian to serve Russian criminals, then you are a Russifier!

@liana_langa Russian is not my native language. Don't pass off your fantasies as reality. There are jobs where, for objective reasons, it is necessary to know languages. I want to see how the police interrogate criminals who do not speak Latvian and hope to learn something.

Hello, @te_anastasija, please explain to the public more broadly as a leader of journalists' organizations - do you think that in order to speak with Russian criminals in Latvia, all Latvian police officers should master your native language and the language of the Russian Federation? What is your vision for a solution when detaining a Russian criminal who has violated another law - the duty to know and use the state language? https://t.co/fvUpQ7fIoV

I have joined the @VL_TBLNNK party and want to invite other citizens to join it too. The number of party members in Latvia overall is catastrophically low. I believe it is important for society to engage in the democratic process through political parties. Why NA? NA is the party ideologically closest to my values, and through participation in national politics (now in government) it has a real opportunity to help make our Latvia a prosperous, modern country where the Latvian people live as the core nation. Why now? I cannot stand aside, especially at a time when Šlesers and friends threaten with their populism, lies and dirty money to again take a strong position in the Saeima. We must do everything possible to prevent that in the autumn elections, while at the same time keeping Kremlin supporters away from power. What are the most important challenges? Immigration control is certainly one (see my opinion article on this: https://t.co/fHx9bP7Arh). National security is the second (border closed, NBS and NATO ready to defend us). State debt, bureaucracy and overgrown state administration are certainly the third. Economic growth – where exporting companies (including startups) are especially important. Will I agree with all party decisions? Certainly not, and I will actively discuss political decisions with party members. I see NA as a broad right-wing party based on strong national values. Those who do not join any party on the excuse that they are waiting for a party they will agree with on all decisions will never find one. The main thing is compatibility of values and ideology. Those who have followed me for longer know that I was once an active member of the JKP party. At that time it was the best choice, and I have great respect for many of its members. Unfortunately, JKP is no longer capable of seriously running in national politics. In the meantime, NA has gained fresh leadership – including @IIndriksone, @ArtursButans, @janisdombrava, for whose abilities I have great optimism. Thanks also to @RihardsKols for supporting my candidacy. May we all together succeed in building a prosperous, growing, rich, Latvian Latvia! Sun's eternity to Latvia!

The state language in Latvia is Latvian! My first order is to require all those working in the internal affairs system to use only the state language when performing work duties and in mutual communication with residents and colleagues! https://t.co/TBBAdGQ1Lh

I thank the Prime Minister of Latvia, Evika Silina, and the government for awarding me the Latvian Medal of Honor for improving the defensive capabilities of their country. They’re on the front lines bordering Russia. Our close alliance creates deterrence. https://t.co/dTT53z83yy

Germany and the Netherlands will this year establish a joint tactical headquarters in the Baltic states to command forces on NATO's eastern flank and help deter Russia, Berlin announced. The joint German-Dutch command center will in the coming months "assume a command role on NATO's eastern flank, particularly in the Estonia and Latvia region," according to a statement from the German Ministry of Defence.

The first vote of the conservative coalition - not to support the amendments submitted by @Progresivie - to implement the Constitutional Court's decision, respecting the editorial independence of the public media. Very telling. https://t.co/fyq12YDEqR

👏 Congratulations to @AndrisKulbergs and his newly elected government! 🙌 We wish clear vision and the ability to make bold decisions at a time when economic growth, security and public welfare issues are especially important for the country. 🤝 We are aware of what it means to take responsibility five months before elections, so the new government can count on our support as social partners and involvement in implementing common solutions. https://t.co/Df5mRcF1Hu

Seeing the events of the last hours and the way the new government was formed, my conscience did not allow me to press the button in support of it. At the same time, I can promise that my deputy's vote will always be for state-minded decisions based on public interests. I hope colleagues will be able to understand that.

I believe that @AndrisKulbergs, in order to secure the support of a majority from @Jauna_Vienotiba for the approval of his government, must ensure that various dubious characters do not stand close to his government. Forgive me, but the raids of @MGruskevics and @guntarsv at the Council of Ministers in recent days inspire no trust in me.

The 42nd Cabinet of Ministers started work on 15 September 2023. During this time, we have accomplished much that is important for Latvia. We have strengthened security, made healthcare more accessible, increased support for families with children, and worked on economic growth and reducing bureaucracy. Step by step, we have also made decisions that provide not only immediate results but also strengthen Latvia in the long term. It is important to me that people in Latvia feel safer, receive the support they need, and see a clear direction for the future. The work continues. With responsibility, with respect for people, and with confidence in Latvia. Thanks also to my office – an excellent team of professionals who have been with me all this time.

In these months, NA's greatest emphasis will be on supporting Latvia's security, including the creation of a strict immigration policy and energy security, strengthening Latvianness in education and culture. NA's goal and ideal is a Latvian Latvia. We will represent this ideal in every area of responsibility.

🤝With the Saeima vote, the new ministers have been approved. NA has done and will do everything in its power to ensure that Latvia has a capable and predictable government in these months. #valdība https://t.co/9rWAFonSvK
