The world already has to deal with various upheavals, and the development of Iran's nuclear program would only increase instability and the level of threat in the Middle East. The international community must ensure that the UN Charter and human rights are respected in conflict resolution. The goal is to return to the negotiating table, not to continue escalation.
The NATO parliamentary summit in Brussels has concluded. All member states agree that significantly greater funds need to be allocated to security and defense in the future. The math is simple: we need a 5% investment to protect the remaining 95% of our prosperity and democracy. #NATOSummit #StrongerTogether

Today the Saeima rejected member Belte's candidacy to @seplpadome. No goat as gardener! 🐐 The Progressives, Šlesers's and Rosļikov's parties voted for, but that wasn't enough 💪 We called for a no vote and it looks like we managed to convince the majority. https://t.co/lUlEDXly34
Shortly before the #NATO summit in The Hague, @Jekaba11 we adopted a statement on inviting Ukraine to @NATO, in which we call on alliance member states to actively advance the 🇺🇦 invitation process and emphasize it at the summit.

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❌ This is a HUGE TURNING POINT in our party's promoted bill to enshrine two genders in the Constitution! I want to express great thanks to all those deputies who supported the further advancement of this bill, and even greater THANKS to all those who changed their opinion in this final vote in favor of the obvious - in favor of two genders! ❤️
From@EvikaSilinaI call on the coalition to decide on freezing salaries for ministers and other senior state officials. Budget funding for 2026 is needed as a priority for security, education, and support for families.

On June 17, 1940, Soviet power occupied Latvia. For the next 50 years we experienced brutal repression and Russification. Today Russia's regime has not changed, so we stand with Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression and imperialism.
🌹 Today we commemorate the criminal and barbaric deportations of the Soviet occupation authorities, which brought suffering and death to our people. Let us preserve the memory of Soviet repressions, because only by preserving historical memory will we, as a nation, be able to protect ourselves. https://t.co/j48Xb7gFBu
On 14 June 1941, more than 15,400 people were deported from Latvia — women, men, children. Thousands of innocent people were torn from their homes and taken away, never to return. Today let us quietly honour their memory and not let history be forgotten.
I am one of the deputies who has signed for the dismissal of the Ombudsman Juris Jansons from office. We cannot forget all those people who were repressed during Covid-19 – they lost jobs, income, many were forced to leave the country. These people needed the Ombudsman's support, but they did not receive it! – Our faction @LatvijaPirmaja five times invited Juris Jansons to a meeting so that he could account and provide answers about his actions as Ombudsman during Covid-19. Each time – at the last moment – we received word that the Ombudsman would not come after all. It is not only about rudeness. It is about ignoring not only the public but also the deputies! – He also repeatedly failed to come to the Saeima to provide explanations about his work. When he finally spoke at the repeated session in June 2025, his speech did not convince me. I believe that the Ombudsman should be a professional who is on the side of the public not only on paper but also in deeds! Especially in times of crisis! The Covid period very clearly showed that the Ombudsman simply ignores people! Photo: LETA
In Poland,
All further information regarding my work in the Saeima will be available on my social networks - from a communication point of view nothing changes, and I invite media and journalists to take information from this primary source. Thanks ❤️ https://t.co/8ZWhSGwF30
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 👉🏽 After careful consideration, I have decided to accept the Saeima deputy mandate given to me and continue representing my voters' interests at the national level! This decision was not easy, but it was carefully weighed. At this time, I see that it is precisely in the Saeima that I can most effectively continue working on the issues I have advocated for and fought for all these years, but not from the Saeima rostrum. Thank you to everyone who has been and is by my side! This is our common next step forward. The work continues, and now at a different level! And finally - it is a great honor and pride for me that my place in the Riga City Council will be taken by my party colleague, Professor Dr. iur. Ringolds Balodis. A person with enormous experience, a clear value compass, and an understanding of what our Riga needs.
Together with the 🇱🇹 🇪🇪 parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee chairs we adopted a joint statement expressing: ✅ support for Ukraine's path to full membership in #EU by 01.01.2030. ✅ support for Ukraine's progress toward #NATO membership, ✅ commitment to promote Ukraine's accession to #JEF. 🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪🇺🇦
@maris_mezals That's why there's no need to wonder why people don't trust either the government or our electoral system! The main thing is that the president @edgarsrinkevics has a photo in the bushes
From@maris_mezals🔍 WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON ELECTION NIGHT? The work of election commissions often remains invisible, but this time one CVK election observer's experience deserves to be talked about loudly. Not as a COMPLAINT, but as a warning about a systemic problem that MUST NOT happen again! 📌 “I have worked on an electoral precinct commission not for the first time. I have experienced exhausting but smooth election days. But this was a mockery of people who honestly do their work for the state,” — this is how this honest and brutally accurate story about election night begins. 🔧 What happened? • During the day everything went smoothly, even with record voter turnout. • In the evening, when vote counting begins, everything collapses: the SCANNING system “hangs”, there is no clarity about what is allowed and what isn’t. • Communication is contradictory and chaotic: “wait”, “go home”, “no, come back!”. • The Excel spreadsheets for vote counting arrive at half past one at night. Until then – mess, uncertainty and complete disorganization. • As a result – people who have been working since seven in the morning get home only after more than 24 hours. ❗Who is responsible? This is not a story about the work being hard. This is a story about the state's INCOMPETENCE and IRRESPONSIBILITY, where polling station staff were left alone to solve problems that should have been dealt with centrally and professionally. If the system doesn't work in the dress rehearsal, if there are already glitches before the election, then why wasn't there a real Plan B? Who prepared it? Who is responsible for the chaos? 🤝 Trust COLLAPSES! Commission staff are not hired soldiers; they are simply civically active people doing work for the state. When they are treated as a disposable resource, people begin to distrust both the election process and the state. And here's the question to all self-proclaimed guardians of democracy – where is our democracy? Where is our Edgarinš? In the lilac bushes? On the swings? I will criticize him constantly – for DOING NOTHING, and each time I will remind you: we live in a country that has institutions like SAB and the State Security Service. Where were all of you when chaos reigned in the election process? What do you say about trust in the state? NOTHING. And that is exactly why people no longer believe ANYTHING. Because you have brought them ALL to this point. POINT. #PašvaldībuVēlēšanas #CVK #VēlēšanuHaoss #KurIrPrezidents #SabiedrībasUzticība #PUNKTS
