On the day Čudars survived the vote of confidence, an EIA program for trout farming at sea near Mērsrags and Roja was issued. Everything proceeds as usual, and the project is not stopped by residents' objections or the Natura 2000 territory. A pilot project is planned to be established this year.

From@E_StendzenieksHave you seen the memes with that tired Ben Affleck in a blue sweater and a cigarette in hand? He is powerless, he [??] the world's retardation and the meaninglessness of civilization. Well then, here I am, about Rail Baltica, military art geniuses, economic luminaries... https://t.co/QU5k0MT5Aq

From@DelfiLV🚈🇱🇻For years, the Latvian government has had a headache over how to finance 'Rail Baltica'. 'I understand that the Latvian prime minister expects that the transport minister will bring her news that from the next financial perspective he will definitely get so much money from European Commission tenders. He will never get such a promise, because it is contrary to the regulations, all the rules of EU funding allocation!' emphasizes the Vice-President of the European Parliament @robertszile (NA). #SpriedArDelfi #DelfiTV

It was a great honour to welcome the United States Ambassador to Latvia, Melissa Argyros, to the Saeima 🇱🇻🫱🏻🫲🏼🇺🇸. Our discussions reaffirmed the strong and historically significant partnership between Latvia and the United States, as well as our active cooperation with the U.S. Congress. This year, we look forward to several high-level visits to Latvia, further strengthening our parliamentary dialogue. Latvia remains a reliable ally—significantly increasing defence spending to nearly 5% of GDP and working closely with the United States to enhance regional security. We also discussed expanding cooperation in security, defence industry, economy, energy, and technology. We highly value the U.S. military presence in Latvia and our long-standing partnership with the Michigan National Guard, as well as continued U.S. support for Baltic security. At the same time, we see strong potential to deepen economic ties, attract investment, and foster innovation—further strengthening the bonds between our countries.
From@Zemkopibas_minThis week, on 19 and 20 February, EU Fisheries and Oceans Commissioner Kostas Kadis arrived in Latvia for a working visit, and together with Agriculture Minister @ArmandsKrauze visited Bērzciems and Ventspils, meeting with fishermen and fish processing companies. ℹ️ https://t.co/QuMo0LpoTn https://t.co/joYXvnH1Ey

In the Rail Baltica procurement, the difference between bidders is nearly 267 million euros. The cheapest offer was rejected for formal reasons. At the same time, a support structure worth more than 20 million is being built in the Daugava, which will not be needed in the next 10 years, and construction is underway towards Mārupe, although the government has decided not to build. Taxpayers' money must not be spent this way.
From@EiropasKomisijaIn Ventspils, the commissioner visits one of Latvia's largest fish primary processing companies, “Verģi”. During the visit, the importance of sustainably sourced fish for food security and EU support for a competitive fish processing industry was emphasized. https://t.co/a9PEoEknHI
