Last week, I took part in a discussion on Latvia's economic growth and human capital at the meeting of the Latvian Employers' Confederation. The discussion was led by LDDK president Andris Bite. https://t.co/nQR7hsyP7T
Today families across Latvia commemorate the tragic events of 25 March 1949, when the Soviet occupation regime carried out repeated genocide against the Latvian people. These are painful memories that have left deep scars in the nation's consciousness. In today's context, as the Ukrainian people daily fight against Russian aggression and cruelty, this lesson of history urges us to remain vigilant: we must protect our land and always stand on the side of justice. #25marts #deportācijas
🏴 On March 25, 1949, the fates of thousands of Latvian families were broken in one night. This day reminds us how precious freedom is. 🇱🇻 How fragile the state is. And how important it is to protect our country – not only with weapons, but also with memory, language, culture, and truth. https://t.co/UuHTw2Xpmu
From@liana_langaRemember, Latvian — our interests are and only are OUR INTERESTS, for which we must stand up with all our might! Our NATIONAL 🇱🇻 interests do not interest the Russians, nor do they interest most Western countries. The small number of the Latvian people causes poorly concealed sneers about our insignificance on the world map. That is why we must be especially sharp, especially prepared to defend our interests, our God-blessed homeland, able to resist cynical enemies, those who demean us and write us off. #RunāLatviski 🇱🇻#AtkrieviskoLatviju

From@RitvarsJansons1Latvians did not deport Latvians. Those were repressions planned in Moscow. https://t.co/D33z42fa0i

What happened at the Upesmārciemi farm is a serious and painful incident. Wolves have killed all the young ewes and billy goats purchased in autumn.
From@BalitisUntil February 2022, Šlesers did not hide his love for Putin. Now there is a new object of admiration. There is something that distinguishes a Kremlin stooge from a friend and something that is itself a Kremlin stooge. https://t.co/QhZLwE5bRL

We are acting in coordination with the Baltic states - on Friday I also discussed possible solutions with the finance ministers of Lithuania and Estonia. Lithuania is moving towards a solution equivalent to ours, while Estonia plans to abandon the previously planned excise tax increase from 1 May. 4/4
From@aseradensThis is a time-limited and fiscally balanced decision – in conditions of higher prices, VAT revenues increase, which largely compensates for the impact of the excise tax reduction. After the Saeima's decision, the solution will be in effect from April 1 to June 30. https://t.co/S3fgKgy0CB 3/4

From@aseradensFor marked diesel fuel used in agriculture, we will reduce the excise rate by 70% – to really reduce the cost pressure on farmers and help maintain food price stability. Consequently, the excise tax rate will decrease from €70.05 to €21 per 1000 liters. 2/4

From@aseradensToday in the government we agreed to move forward with a reduction in the excise tax (-15.2%) on diesel fuel to limit the impact of rapidly rising fuel prices on the economy due to the world energy crisis. For residents and entrepreneurs, the fuel price should decrease by about 8.6 cents per litre. 👇

Irresponsibility or economic bioterrorism? Our companies follow biosecurity measures at a very high level, but it is also alarming that those who call themselves animal defenders enter farms with the aim of finding something. That is the most direct biosecurity violation. It's not just about bird flu – there is also a risk of salmonellosis, which is dangerous to humans, as well as Newcastle disease. If a disease is detected on a farm, it means millions of euros in losses not only for the company but also for the state, because compensation must be paid.
From@EvikaSilinaI have instructed the Ministry of Economics, in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance, to ensure that no later than 7 April 2026 a list of companies is published, indicating companies registered in Latvia that export or import goods to/from Russia and Belarus, specifying the exporter's or importer's identification number and name. We must move towards breaking economic ties with Russia and Belarus. Latvian society has the right to know which companies continue to cooperate with them.

From@Jauna_Vienotiba📢 NEW UNITY supports the Prime Minister @EvikaSilina's initiative to publish a list of companies that continue cooperation with Russia and Belarus. 📊 By April 7, information about Latvian-registered companies exporting to or importing from the aggressor countries will be published so that the public has clear and accessible information. 🛡️ Saeima faction leader @EdmundsJurevics stresses: “We are moving toward the deliberate cessation of economic relations with aggressor countries. Disclosing information is not a punishment, but a fair approach to Latvian society.” 🇪🇺 This is an essential step to limit the flow of resources to countries that threaten security and to strengthen the common position of Latvia and Europe. Transparency helps society make informed decisions and promotes responsible entrepreneurship in Latvia.

From@RaivisZeltitsRSU already has its own Muslim organization. Everything is happening – another civilization feels at home. We feel like strangers. With gender equality in pictures there are obvious problems, but in our “inclusive” parties’ victim hierarchy immigrants are ranked higher than women. https://t.co/DHcEqWVu8t https://t.co/hmViGfiBtS

From@jarinovskaToday, on March 24, the Saeima State Administration and Local Government Commission decided to move the Cemetery Law to the third reading, supporting MP Andrejs Ceļapīters' proposal that if a grave site has cultural-historical value, it should be preserved and not demolished.

From@janisdombravaI have always been against mass immigration! I am currently submitting a proposal to completely stop issuing new residence permits. I will defend this and other proposals to restrict immigration, despite objections from inefficient businessmen. https://t.co/85NkaKuaQp

From@janisdombravaIt is healthier to go and get the meal yourself rather than wait for a foreigner to deliver it. Members of the parliamentary investigative committee have identified systemic problems related to the employment/provision of services by immigrants on the Bolt/Wolt platform, which need to be resolved in the near future.
