From@Braze_BaibaHamas terrorists spread vile 🇮🇱 hostage videos and refuse to lay down arms. Immediately release hostages, disarm, and give up power in the Gaza Strip - that is what the international community demands of Hamas. Israel must respect international law, ensure aid and its access. https://t.co/CxPQuqlRZJ

What does this flirtation between @atis_svinka and @aseradens mean for the just 'frozen' @LVceli projects Bauska - Aizkraukle (P87) and Priekule - Skoda? Will they still be implemented? https://t.co/IzRWHYYZcs
From@atis_svinkaRoads are the lifeblood of our economy. No one disputes that savings must be sought in the state budget and bureaucracy reduced, but both society and entrepreneurs will confirm that taking money away from roads is not a far-sighted decision and will hinder mobility and economic development – especially in the regions. In Latvia, road funding has long been several times lower than in Lithuania. Since the historic decision to abolish the road fund, excise tax revenues have for years been diverted to patch holes in the budget rather than to roads. Every subsequent year that we postpone essential road reconstructions, we end up overpaying in the long run for their maintenance. I disagree with the Ministry of Finance's proposal to reduce funding for state and municipal roads by €16.6 million, and I will not advance such a solution further. It has become clear that the proposal also lacks support within the coalition. I will again call on the Ministry of Finance to listen to our arguments and those of several residents, municipal leaders and entrepreneurs, in order to reach a balanced and development-oriented solution. The Ministry of Transport already offers alternatives by reducing expenditure not only in the central apparatus but also in state-owned companies, including by having state-owned companies take on state investment plans, reviewing the volumes of state-delegated services, consolidating institutions in the sector, and moving forward with listing 'Latvijas autoceļu uzturētājs' on the stock exchange.

From@ltvzinasLatvia's men's beach soccer team has refused to play against the Belarusian side in the European League A Division tournament in Italy, the Latvian Football Federation reports. Latvia's Sports Law stipulates that Latvian teams are prohibited from playing against Russian and Belarusian national teams if they participate in competitions under their own flag or in a neutral status.

From@KasparsGorkssThe procurement of 0.9 million swords was halted because the required number of swords was found in stock. Two questions remain open: 1. What else can we find in stock? 2. Could the ministry have made this decision without public pressure? https://t.co/KgISv0XaTl

Is it planned to hire an army of officials to process these declarations? Is reducing bureaucracy about making people report twice on honestly earned and saved money? https://t.co/D4fNQvXDtL

From@JanisVitenbergsThere will be no reduction of bureaucracy and costs🤦 Instead of patching holes in the budget, @EvikaSilina and @aseradens are hastily pushing to remove the privatization ban for @Latvenergo and JSC “Latvijas valsts meži”. Like at an auction - they'll also sell the road maintainer and Riga building manager. https://t.co/N5geDgQbvJ

Today we honor the memory of the victims of the genocide of the Jewish people. The atrocities committed by the Nazis in occupied Latvia 84 years ago also serve today as a grim reminder of how important it is not to be indifferent and to act so that nothing like this ever happens again. Never. https://t.co/LTCXuBQyXb
84 years ago, Nazis and their henchmen brutally burned down the Great Choral Synagogue of Riga. Jews who sought refuge in the synagogue perished in the flames. This crime began the Holocaust in Latvia. Conscious evil that destroyed entire families and generations. In the Holocaust in Latvia, 70,000 Latvian Jews were sentenced to death. Today we bow our heads before the innocent victims. There is no statute of limitations for crimes against humanity. Evil must be brought to light so that it never happens again to any nation in the world.
Our beloved Ukraine has once again experienced a terrible night after the aggressor's attack. Putin is turning against the civilized world with his missiles and drones, he wants to destroy Ukraine. We must not allow it! The pressure of sanctions and isolation against the Russian barbarians must continue. @r_stefanchuk Latvia strongly supports #Ukraine! 🇺🇦🕊️🇱🇻
Dear friends and allies from the USA, happy 4th of July! Wishing you all a joyful Independence day, celebrating freedom, liberty, courage and values of humankind. Let our freedom and transatlantic bond flourish forever! #4thJuly 🇺🇸🇱🇻
If discussions about gender role changes and ideological direction start at the Song Festival – that is already a red warning sign. The problem is not in the lyrics, but in the fact that such conversations are being started at all! These festivities are not meant for 're-education', 'inclusion', or testing public opinions. They are meant for children to learn to love their nation, culture, language, and family values. The Song Festival is the backbone of our identity. This is NOT the place where discussions about gender identity should be started at all – especially if it is the School Youth Song and Dance Festival! And if someone thinks that traditional values, moms and dads, brothers and sisters are 'offensive', then we have gone to extreme lengths, dear reader. Interesting how the National Alliance, its members and voters view all this, especially when uniting in one coalition in the Riga City Council together with the Progressives? P.S. Context for such a post 👉🏽 the newspaper 'Diena' has given a wide interview to the artistic directors of the main concerts https://t.co/GEEFArRK1A
