It's impossible to answer questions that have never been asked — especially those that arose somewhere around the third shot. If the question exists only in a drunken delirium and the offer to ask it at a board meeting is met with 'not worth it', then the board's 'telepathy department' is powerless.

Latvia should use as much of our own produced energy as possible, not expensive imported oil products. Therefore, the green light has been given to the electric car support programme. From 11 May, car dealers can apply for the support programme at the Environmental Investment Fund. I urge dealers to be active https://t.co/cjDr1VyL5u

🇺🇦 Ukraine is ready to send experts and equipment to help strengthen Latvia's airspace security and detect drones - this was emphasized by Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha after a conversation with Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba. This is a concrete result and real support from an ally. This is exactly the kind of cooperation Latvia needs for its security. Not just promises or excuses.

Thanks to the @aerones_com team for the hosting! It is one of the companies that received #AtveseļošanasFonda funding for wind turbine maintenance projects and a vivid example of how public & private funding together help create globally competitive export solutions! 4/4

❗️The Recovery Fund is a reform instrument. Funding is only allocated for concrete achieved results - alongside investments, reforms are implemented in health, education, energy, digitalization, justice, and the business environment. 3/4

Today Latvia received the 4th payment from the Recovery Fund - 371.2 million euros. ➡️ In total, almost 1.5 billion euros have already been received, or 75% of the 1.97 billion available to Latvia. Thus we enter the decisive phase. By the end of August, all projects and initiated reforms must be implemented. 👉 https://t.co/NJIf4Uo6xg

Today we commemorate the day of the defeat of Nazism and the victims of World War II. Families who never saw their loved ones return home. People who lost their childhood, homes, homeland, and peace for years. At the same time, it is a reminder of our responsibility today - to protect democracy, freedom, and humanity https://t.co/kZaR4TSt7F

371.2 million euros that the 🇪🇺 European Commission pays out to 🇱🇻 Latvia today is not just a number in a budget line. It means practical improvements, including: ✅️ lower heating bills ✅️ better healthcare ✅️ more modern infrastructure ➡️ My speech at the fourth payment event of the Recovery Fund: https://t.co/H6TVNGQw7r

I was glad to speak with my good friend and colleague from Latvia @Braze_Baiba. We are in close contact with Latvia over the recent drone incidents, and our competent authorities are sharing information to get to the bottom of what happened. If there is a confirmation that those were Ukrainian drones that were deliberately knocked off course and directed toward Latvia by Russia’s electronic warfare, we will offer our most sincere apologies to our Latvian friends. What can be stated with full confidence is that Ukraine never directed any drones toward Latvia. We have already expressed our apologies to all three Baltic states, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, as well as Finland, for the unintended incidents that were caused by Russia’s EW systems redirecting Ukrainian drones. Our specialized institutions are working closely together to minimize risks of such incidents repeating. Under President @ZelenskyyUa’s instructions, we are also considering a possibility of sending Ukrainian expert teams to help directly strengthen the airspace security of our friends against any types of incidents.

In Latvia, more people lose their lives to suicide than in car accidents. Ainārs Šlesers's extensive advertising campaign is paid not by the LPV party, but by some association. More on these and other topics on Sunday in the program #defacto. https://t.co/HtseGWOopW

Prime Minister @EvikaSilina (JV) plans to hold talks with Defense Minister @AndrisSpruds („Progresīvie”), the PM revealed to LTV. “Unfortunately, things are not going so smoothly with these drone capabilities. I know there are challenges, but the pace is not good enough and there are also mistakes,” Siliņa said. https://t.co/GTBKeAwiKg

All ministers should go and take photos at the tanks, saying something relevant to their sector. Lāce could explain how this fits into the cultural context, Melbārde - whether it's safe for schools, Krauze - how much grain could have been poured into the tanks... https://t.co/VuBwK0fxsn

There is no environmental threat in Rēzekne at the oil base where a drone fell. However, drones flying over Latvia, endangering residents and critical infrastructure, are unacceptable. We must learn from every incident and the Ministry of Defence must find a real way to protect Latvia's residents.

Modernization of the Inčukalns underground gas storage facility has been completed, one of the most significant energy infrastructure projects in Latvia in recent years. By investing EUR 98.8 million, we have strengthened not only 🇱🇻, but the energy security and resilience of the entire Baltic region. https://t.co/RtaOsuEC7Z https://t.co/XdpCD5u74Q

Two worlds. One – the Finance Ministry's “stability” in tables. The other – a reality where the picture no longer looks so comforting. Imports are growing rapidly, exports are stagnating. We base growth on external financing and consumption. Such a model will not make Latvia richer or more competitive. https://t.co/OIq5Ok5rav
