Latvian Political Monitor

I have sent an application to the State Security Service regarding informational activities observed on social media, in which propaganda is being disseminated about a shortage of men in Latvia, calling for third-world men to come here to form relationships with Latvian women. Several seemingly independent profiles are spreading distorted information about the demographic situation in Latvia – for example, the claim of an “80,000 surplus of women,” which is being used to call on foreign men to go to Latvia for relationships. These messages do not correspond to the facts. In reality, in Latvia, in age groups up to 40 years, there are even more men than women. The distribution of identical news in multiple accounts simultaneously raises suspicions of coordinated activity. Hybrid threat tactics include using migration as a weapon to destabilize the target country. The call for immigration using false data is consistent with hybrid warfare methods. Such informational activities can lead to a surge in mass immigration from countries and to sexual crimes against Latvian women. Latvia is being slandered internationally, portraying its women as “easygoing.” I call on the State Security Service to assess this set of activities in the context of national security and take the necessary measures to eliminate the identified threat.

Results of the NGO survey conducted by ASL. The survey confirmed our previously expressed criticism towards SIF and other ideologically engaged organizations. https://t.co/S1UbXWh3g7

🇱🇹🇺🇸 More HIMARS for Lithuania! 🤝 Lithuania and the US have expanded the procurement agreement for a second HIMARS battery, including additional launchers, munitions, training, and logistics support. A clear step to strengthen deterrence and defence on NATO’s Eastern flank. https://t.co/kgXEWTfq5r

Today the Defense Commission decided to end the issuance of residence permits for foreigners buying property in Latvia. These 'investments' were linked to money laundering and drove up real estate prices, making housing less affordable for local residents. The commission will continue to examine other proposals that will change the current immigration rules.

“Austošā Saule Latvijai” has just accepted its 400th member, but +100 members are needed to run in the Saeima elections. This is required by law. Since the party's founding last August, we have doubled our ranks. In the next elections, obstacles from the ruling parties are expected to be even greater. But another 4 years with the current policy will be a catastrophe... We must ensure 500 members by the submission of lists in June. We plan to submit the membership register again within the coming weeks. We invite like-minded people to join us in this goal, so that there is a party to vote for in the next elections and worthy representatives in the Saeima!

❗️ Minister of Agriculture @ArmandsKrauze: ☝️ “The Latvian Biomass Association drew my attention that in Brussels the EC has said: doubts must be expressed about the role of forest biomass (wood chips, firewood, pellets) in energy supply, placing greater emphasis on agricultural biomass (straw, plant residues).”
