Today, 51 votes were enough to adopt the 'Green Course' bills. Also amendments to the Transport Energy Law, and everyone will feel the impact on fuel prices! ⛽📈 🤔 The Ministry of Climate and Energy claims the increase per liter of fuel will be 26 cents, but the industry says the increase will be even higher – 30-40 cents. https://t.co/bXKOS3z8AU
“We are working to ensure that common sense prevails. With more than ten thousand signatures, society has expressed that the Istanbul Convention should not be denounced,” Agnese Lāce (P), the Minister of Culture, said on #Krustpunktā. 🎧 https://t.co/5MqhVS3a3d @KM_kultura https://t.co/M7CS5yD8aZ
The issue of the Istanbul Convention has reached a dead end. @VL_TBLNNK has a solution - a Declaration on the prevention and elimination of violence against women and domestic violence. 👉 My speech @Jekaba11 https://t.co/8bvbEuh0SA https://t.co/5mtKBTQfA3
Oops! Unexpectedly, but at the same time - not surprising! Today the biggest defenders of the Istanbul Convention voted AGAINST the protection of women and families against violence. How do you like this turn? https://t.co/PSa3G7vaEY
Thank you to my Saeima colleagues who supported this draft decision. To those who did not support or deliberately chose not to vote, I urge you to remember that some of the athletes who will represent Russia and Belarus in the Paralympic Games are those who invaded Ukraine and were wounded. https://t.co/7WZjrYo2wS https://t.co/xediyWHraL
From@DDaugavietis45Together with colleagues from several Saeima factions, we have submitted a draft decision to @Jekaba11, in which we condemn and call for a review of the International Paralympic Committee's decision to allow aggressor states, Russia and Belarus, to compete under their own flags in the Paralympic Games. https://t.co/1ZyL3tr1xw

Time for us to act too @EvikaSilina @Progresivie @ZZS_ @Jauna_Vienotiba! We could have been an example to others, but right now it looks like we will be the last in our region to work with Russia and Belarus. https://t.co/XRcdZuwp8h
Today we commemorate two years since the horrific Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. This terrible and inhumane attack on the peaceful people of Israel has not been forgotten. 48 victims are still held in terrorist captivity. We call for their immediate and unconditional release in accordance with #Trump20pointsplan #LetThemGoNow @KnessetENG

Defenders of the Istanbul c. are fighting for money… https://t.co/bLugmlBpDp
From@maris_mezalsI will show you just ONE EXAMPLE of how you can get rich using the Istanbul Convention. The same ones who are now hysterically shouting that this is a “fight against violence against women” will shamelessly come to the Saeima to protest this Thursday. Minister of Transport Atis Švinka (Progressives) and his wife Anda Švinka, who is an official of the association “Skalbes”, are directly connected to millions of money flows from state and EU procurement. And for what? For a simple PHONE LINE where people call and tell their pain. 📅 Money flows to “Skalbes”: 2025 • January – Psychosocial support phone line for adolescents and persons. 👉 €1,191,949.92 (NVD) • March – Crisis phone service for prevention of violence cases. 👉 €255,248.82 (Ministry of Welfare) 2023 • July – Unified psychosocial support phone line. 👉 €665,112.36 (NVD) • April – Psychosocial support phone line. 👉 €200,000.00 (NVD) • September – Study on changing stereotypes for prisoners; phone in the context of sexual crimes. 👉 €100,065.60 (TM Prison Administration) 2022 • March – Psychosocial support phone line during Covid-19. 👉 €389,065.00 (NVD) 💰 TOTAL just for one “phone example”: €2,801,441.70 MILLIONS And now think – if there are dozens or hundreds of such associations in Latvia, then we are talking about HUNDREDS of millions of euros. The Istanbul Convention for these people is not about women's safety. It is about the fear of losing MONEY.

From@maija_armanevaIS THE OMBUDSMAN CANDIDATE AGAINST COVID REPRESSIONS AND 2 GENDERS? ⤵️ Tomorrow the Saeima will decide who will be the new Ombudsman, or Latvia's human rights defender. I asked specific questions, but the candidate's answers contained many contradictions that cannot be ignored. That is why tomorrow I will vote AGAINST. #Ombudsman #Saeima @LatvijaPirmaja
