Latvian Political Monitor

The establishment of election systems in Latvia is accompanied by one drama after another, but there is no positive result. The conviction is growing that @VARAM_Latvija does not know what is happening at @VDAA_gov_lv, living in the belief that everything is fine with IT systems, but when votes are counted by hand, the Saeima deputies are to blame https://t.co/gZTX4W4seU

✨ I congratulate the new director of @LNMM_muzejs on taking office! For many years you were in M. Lāce's team, and I am confident that the knowledge and experience gained will strengthen the work of Latvian museums! Good luck in your new position! 💫 https://t.co/UafhR3iWNm

What benefit does an electric car bring to a family? Financial savings at the expense of fossil fuels, which is why in the program our focus with a higher support intensity is on large families. Large families are our pride! @kustiba3plus https://t.co/l9xGDf1stP

🌧️ At the @LVGMC_Meteo conference, in synergy of local and international experts' knowledge, a common understanding of rainfall risks should be promoted, to develop data-based solutions for Latvia's urban environment. Heavy rains and flooding of territories are also a challenge for LV's urban infrastructure https://t.co/ECXCoSsOFZ

Demography – problem no. 1 in Latvia is the birth-rate crisis. Ilmārs Mežs writes that Latvians will last only a hundred springs. And in reality considerably less, because the gates of immigration are wide open and every year tens of thousands of Uzbeks, Pakistanis, Indians and other alien people enter Latvia. As a historian, I find it paradoxical to see that a nation that has survived all wars over hundreds of years and defeated great powers cannot survive the modernity that destroys the family, or its own state's tax system, which is not family-friendly. A change of rules is needed so that Latvia does not become a people safari, but remains a Latvian state.

🔝🚘 Electric cars promote the development of Latvia's economy because they use energy produced in Latvia, thus not buying fossil fuels from abroad. 🇱🇻

🚘 We are proud that electric cars run on Latvian energy! ⚡️ Electric cars also allow reducing daily fuel costs, promote our economy, reducing dependence on imports of oil products. https://t.co/bSb69DwcLf

Important to also mention that several meetings have already taken place on this and the director of the Sports Museum, Agra Brūne, has also participated in them, who herself is actively involved in the museum's modernization process. I mention this to dispel concerns that something is being hidden from the museum's own staff.

@kr_klavins Greetings! I want to emphasize that since the last time the Request Commission reviewed this matter, nothing has changed - the Sports Museum is not planned to be liquidated, but rather to be moved to more modern premises, and even that will only happen after 3 years.

📌 See you tonight, @tv24_lv, at 21:03. ✅ This week's 'Price of Money' episode topic: Latvia's energy perspectives - what are the plans and reality? https://t.co/znUxUpY0nG

@gatis_auzins @katrinailjinska @StankevicsA @Valsts_policija It's a pity you haven't familiarized yourself with our profile content. Our movement stands for the preservation of national values, and we have never been pro-Kremlin. 👌

@gatis_auzins @katrinailjinska @StankevicsA @Valsts_policija Oh no, a supporter of PARists after all :))

@gatis_auzins @katrinailjinska @StankevicsA @Valsts_policija I just don't notice that you would despise JV in your social media profiles like other political forces. ;)

@gatis_auzins @katrinailjinska @StankevicsA @Valsts_policija @gatis_auzins Looks like you are JV's 'advocate', who attacks people who have an opinion about the misdeeds committed by JV. :))

I am honoured to meet with Speaker of the UK Parliament @CommonsSpeaker Lindsay Hoyle. This meeting confirms the close friendship and parliamentary cooperation between Latvia and the United Kingdom. 🇱🇻🫱🏻🫲🏼🇬🇧 In the conversation I emphasised that we – Europe – must become independent in developing our military capabilities within NATO. We agree that security is not a given. We must be ready to invest more in our own defence, because Europe's resilience is our common responsibility. Speaking about the future, I particularly stressed the need to provide Ukraine with stable and long-term support, while highly appreciating the leadership of the United Kingdom. I also emphasised that Latvia's experience in strengthening societal resilience can be useful for both the United Kingdom and other European countries. Today there is no clear division between the first and second front lines. Conflicts affect all allied countries and require joint involvement. I thank for the close security cooperation, including the drone coalition, and I see great potential also in the economy. Our cooperation can become even closer both in defence and in business.

I researched Rosļikovs. He is an interesting case about how to create an image in a hybrid information space. Is this Rosļikov's campaign? Fleeing to Minsk may look like a backside-saving operation, but the show on social media and Russian news is something Rosļikovs knows well.🥸💪🏼🤬 https://t.co/zo565iyT6N

It is hard to imagine how a kindergarten director would sneak into work late at night to commit crimes that need to be investigated by @KNABinforme. @Apvienotais proposes to exclude such institution directors from the circle of state officials. There is a lively discussion about this in the Saeima State and Local Government Commission.
