From@liana_langaIn Latvia, an ideological matter must be publicly discussed. Are the goals of the Constitution and the future of the Latvian nation more important to Latvian politics, or the multicultural and international goals that are being promoted by manipulating the Human Rights Convention and gradually and irreversibly changing the national identity of the state? Who will be the first brave person to publicly reflect on this topic? Also, LSM's internationalism seems much more binding than the goals of the Constitution. @J_Pleps @InetaZiemele @RudevskisJ @Valstsgriba https://t.co/AAP3ZMOVmU

From@IIndriksoneIn 2025, only 11,637 children were born in Latvia – 1,250 or 9.7% fewer than the year before. Due to negative natural increase, the population decreased by 14 thousand people during the year. These are not just statistics. https://t.co/Mm6RrzXwbz (1/3)

From@suvajevsTo politicians and their technologists who have lost their sense of proportion in the campaign against the Progressives, let me explain: Last year VSAA paid me out part of my father's accumulated 2nd pension level. Money I would have gladly never received. Mocking remarks about potential disability are a whole new level.

From@andrissprudsOver recent years, significant investments have indeed been made in air defence. Starting in 2023, more than 1 billion euros is being invested in strengthening airspace security. At the end of 2023, a contract was signed for the acquisition of the medium-range air defence system IRIS-T and Hensoldt radars. First deliveries – this year. In 2025, a contract for short-range air defence missiles RBS-70 and G1X radars. Deliveries are already being implemented. More than a year ago, we concluded research and development project contracts with Latvian defence industry companies to develop next-generation counter-drone capabilities: interceptor drones, guided missiles, electronic warfare systems, machine guns on mobile platforms. Now we need to implement system integration in layered air defence. By the end of 2025, the first Latvian-made interceptor drones have already been received, and they are being integrated into the NBS work at the border. A long-term agreement has been signed with Origin Robotics for additional interceptor drone deliveries this year and in the coming years. Other Latvian-made interceptor drones, as well as the widely used in Ukraine MEROPS interceptor drones, will soon arrive. Latvia is the first NATO country with an acoustic drone detection system along the entire eastern border, strengthening early warning and the ability to identify air threats. The deployment of numerous sensors in 2025 was carried out in close cooperation with @mansLMT Significant investments in air defence were made relatively recently – when I took office as minister. We started building layered air defence – from sensors to missiles. There is no shortage of challenges, and capabilities must be constantly developed, especially in the counter-drone field. These investments must not stop. https://t.co/bQ6vPEXQB7

From@suvajevsWhat is @edgarsrinkevics’s assessment of A. Kulbergs’s decision to invite a ZZS representative to continue leading the Ministry of Agriculture? Coalition compromises are understandable, but this is about a ministry with a fresh audit of poor governance, manipulation of profits, and potential corruption. https://t.co/9YczSeP0vd

Therefore, family policy cannot be an annex to state administration documents. It must be one of the central development policies of Latvia, and it must be viewed in close connection with health, education, economy, and security. (3/3)

That means emptier kindergartens, fewer students in classrooms, fewer workers in the future economy, fewer young families in the regions, and fewer Latvians in future generations. (2/3)

Latvia does not need the cheapest and fastest 'solution' to the labor shortage. Latvia needs smart growth. 🇱🇻 Mass immigration is not a development plan. A development plan is a strong economy, productivity, and entrepreneurs whom the state helps rather than hinders. https://t.co/wTXbyPR8nO

A big moment is approaching for Latvia's capital market - LAU Infra group (@autoceli) is going to the stock exchange in two weeks. The first state company on the way to an IPO, with ambitions to grow in the Baltics and Scandinavia. As Māris Vainovskis said during the meeting - there hasn't been a single day when this process hasn't moved forward. And it really is noticeable. Great joy and satisfaction with the work done!

Russia has decided to increase railway transit tariffs more than twofold towards Latvia, Estonia and Finland. Lithuania is an exception. Most of these transit cargoes come from Central Asia. The drop in cargo transit could be significant, and will most affect grain cargoes. Today the Stevedore Association together with @Sat_Min met with @EM_gov_lv to assess the situation and prepare possible solutions. It should be noted that in recent years the Ministry of Transport, in close cooperation with the stevedore association, has done a great deal of work to strengthen port operations in order to redirect cargo to other markets.

From@suvajevsIn the timber industry affair, officials are finally starting to speak publicly - the currently suspended state secretary says that Krauze exerted pressure to make a decision in favor of one entrepreneur. Krauze gifted 12M of public money. ZZS must not lead the Ministry of Agriculture. https://t.co/37HJ5P4egY

From@maris_mezals🚘LET'S GO! RIGA – DAUGAVPILS – REZEKNE I, together with @maija_armaneva, am going to Latgale to meet local residents and understand on the spot how they REALLY feel. Isn't it true that the gentlemen and ladies in Riga have simply FORGOTTEN Latgale?! From TV screens, wise advice is given to keep a "COOL HEAD" and NOT TO PANIC during drone attacks. But what does that look like in REALITY for people living near the border?! That is exactly what we will try to find out. Do mothers with small children really have a "COOL HEAD"? How do students, teachers, and other Latgale residents feel who live in this tension every day?

From@suvajevsIf after the timber industry affair and the devastating State Audit review, Kulbergs still offered this portfolio to ZZS, then there is only one conclusion - political cover-up will continue. A resounding 'no' to corruption turned out to be just a first-moment slogan. https://t.co/0IVVN5HE2W
