From@janisdombravaSecurity challenges remain, so we cannot work for long with a resigned government. Three political forces are ready to do without political disputes in order to quickly form a functioning government that will address immigration and air defense problems, as well as make state spending more efficient.

From@ArtursButans🇱🇻Latvia must form a national security government - without the left and without the Šlesers party. ❌@Jauna_Vienotiba has already twice toppled its own government. There will be no third chance - JV must not lead the state. 📍Therefore @VL_TBLNNK is ready to take on state leadership both until and after the elections. https://t.co/pxjXI2xOSF

@churljix Hello. Difficult to answer, because each program is evaluated based on the interest shown, whether any changes/improvements are needed, or whether funding is still available for such activity. I think that after the application period ends, we will not delay with information about further plans.
From@churljix@Kaspars_Melnis_ Hello, we are an apartment building and just learned about this support. To not rush the application at this moment and to evaluate and think everything over properly, we wanted to find out whether this support will be available again in the future? Thank you

From@DelfiLV🇱🇻Although after recent drone incidents several experts have been skeptical about the now former defense minister Andris Sprūds's ("Progressive") widely repeated view that Latvia is a drone great power, the politician stands by his opinion – on a European scale Latvia has something to be proud of, even if it is still far from Ukraine's level.

A conversation with US journalists who are well versed in our current energy and environmental affairs was professional. ✅ We talked about Latvia's energy security, disconnection from BRELL, giving up RU gas, and environmental protection challenges while living next to Russia. https://t.co/32Vs9n2j0l
How to drive into a ditch with a 4x4? Siliņa tries to fire Sprūds and loses control of the wheel. A bribe that surprises even the most seasoned participants of the 'Butterfly Bath' talks. The court begins a case against former Riga vice-mayor Amerika. More on these and other topics on Sunday in the program #defacto. https://t.co/nd6Kpc9FJe
Thank you @LTRK_uznemeji for the meeting and open conversation on issues important to Latvia's economy and entrepreneurs. It is important to maintain an open dialogue with business organizations, especially at a time when economic security, investment and competitiveness have become a priority for the whole 🇪🇺. https://t.co/ftSFpl0eiu
From@LTRK_uznemejiToday the LTRK council met with Finance Minister A. Ašeradens to discuss current issues for economic development and the business environment.

From@ltvzinas“Those were fake news – at no point have I been detained. I went to KNAB myself to give testimony in connection with my application to the Prosecutor General's Office regarding the so-called timber industry case,” suspended Minister of Agriculture Armands Krauze (ZZS) said in an interview on LTV. https://t.co/pH8soTs3y2

From@NaurisPuntulisThe coalition rejects the proposal by @VL_TBLNNK, which stipulates that the driving license exam should be taken only in the state language or in one of the EU languages, excluding Russian from this option. This applies not to citizens or non-citizens, but to third-country nationals. https://t.co/iBr9H8rSW5

From@KBBergis‼️Presumption of guilt.‼️ Imagine a country where it is enough to start a criminal process, a technical procedural action or subjective “suspicions” for real consequences to arise for a person – to be fired from work and have their reputation undermined on a national scale. Such a process is essentially a unilateral decision. It cannot be appealed before a status is assigned. It is a technical process aimed at establishing the circumstances of the case. As a result, a person is in fact punished at the moment when it is still only being determined whether there is even sufficient basis to believe that an unlawful offense has been committed. To prevent such clearly absurd situations, we as a society have enshrined the presumption of innocence in the Constitution: “92. Everyone has the right to defend their rights and lawful interests in a fair court. Everyone is presumed innocent until their guilt has been recognized in accordance with law. In the case of an unjustified infringement of rights, everyone has the right to appropriate compensation. Everyone has the right to legal assistance.” Who and how will compensate a person for the actual harm caused to their reputation and career? Politicians, of course, often live in a different reality and by different rules. That is why it is justified to clearly state: Today's events are a politically motivated, direct and blatant violation of the fundamental principles of a rule-of-law state – political retribution against political opponents. P.S. I will not name names in active processes so as not to pour oil on the fire, but those who follow along can think to themselves and ask the question – is that truly acceptable? Would it be acceptable if you were in such a situation?

Riga is the driving force of the entire Latvian economy, together with @EvikaSilina we have worked on it in close and good cooperation. Thanks to the Prime Minister for the work! https://t.co/cFxB8YoAOR
Vote on that CSDD must stop exams in Russian. https://t.co/ft6pQNlHFU
From@JanisVitenbergsWhat a day! 🙉 🤷 Despite the government falling to pieces, the Saeima found no votes to eliminate shortcomings in the Road Traffic Law. 🚦 CSDD will continue to hold exams in Russian, and immigrants will drive on our roads with unverifiable rights. https://t.co/KnCedLkILr

The Union of Greens and Farmers will nominate Viktors Valainis for the position of prime ministerial candidate, #Krustpunktā reports Minister of Welfare Reinis Uzulnieks.
❗️A week ago we discussed that after the drone incident in Latvia, Sprūds and Kozlovskis should resign, but if not, then Siliņa should take responsibility. This week both Sprūds and Siliņa resign. Did Evika Siliņa resign because she could not withstand public pressure? #LatvijaLatviešiem https://t.co/h4jp65fm5j
