NeoJudgeTuleya wrote that in recent hours, information about a possible attack on the prime minister and deputy prime minister was conveyed through special services, and urgent meetings were held at the Anti-Terrorist Center. The author suggested that the threat had been communicated via email and its publicity was an operation intended to divert attention from government problems. As a background, he pointed to the collapse of public finances and record state debt, knife attacks in schools, and scandals at the ministerial level, including the affair of Deputy Minister Kołodziejczak. He wrote that the authorities intentionally directed media attention to the topic of the attack in order to limit the debate on taxes, the budget deficit, and government actions. The author accused the ruling camp of fueling polarization, shifting the blame for mistakes onto political opponents, and appointing individuals who are loyal but, as he assessed, lacking competence. He also claimed that the alert about the attack was intended to provide the government with political benefits, justify state operating costs, and silence the opposition. He mentioned the creation of enemies, including the opposition and President Nawrocki. #polityka #manipulacja #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

The author of the entry assessed the decision of the US president as harmful and bad. He wrote that although the order for Russian oil was small, it had significant political implications, and the US strengthened Russia as a stabilizer of the oil market, provided funds to the Kremlin for the war, and legitimized the return to economic agreements. https://t.co/4AocxbMLCV #Polityka #USA #Rosja #USA #RU (translated)

Filip Dąb-Mirowski wrote that Donald Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin regarding the resumption of Russian diesel exports to international markets. According to the author, the U.S. Department of the Treasury suspended related sanctions until April 7, 2027. Dąb-Mirowski assessed that sales could provide Russia with funds for further waging war, as the planned budget deficit was expected to be twice as high as initially anticipated, and the economy and finances were experiencing the greatest collapse since the 1990s. He also wrote that Putin was cutting social spending, directing funds to the military. The author noted that Russia would not be able to supply the planned volumes, reaching 3 million tons, in the foreseeable future. He cited the shutdown of the largest refineries due to Ukrainian airstrikes, limited maritime export capabilities, and prioritization of domestic market supply as reasons. He added that supplies of that size would not impact the global market, as they would be too small relative to its needs. Dąb-Mirowski speculated that the agreement could precede an American ultimatum to Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian petrochemicals. He also pointed out that it was announced during a visit by a Ukrainian delegation to Florida, where they were supposed to prepare a peace plan together with American negotiators. According to the author, President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed frustration that Ukraine was acting as a shield for negotiations with Russia. The author claimed that the Republicans were heading for a historic defeat in the upcoming midterms, which were to take place in four weeks, and Trump wanted to lower fuel prices in the U.S. Dąb-Mirowski indicated the Strait of Hormuz as the heart of the problem, which — he wrote — Trump had failed to resolve. He summarized that in his opinion, this confirmed the pro-Russian nature of the current U.S. administration. #Trump #Putin #sankcje (translated)

Andris Kulbergs (AS) wrote the day after the elections that the work of the Cabinet of Ministers continued, and thanked the voters for their trust in him and the UNITED LIST. He stated that the party had also won in the Bolderāja polling station in Riga. Kulbergs pointed out that President Edgars Rinkēvičs had invited all factions to a meeting, the UNITED LIST first, and congratulated it on its historic victory. He added that there was no space for 41 faction deputies in the Saeima and the Presidential Palace. He described the coalition meeting after the elections as the calmest he could recall, stating that the issues were dealt with swiftly. In his opinion, after the elections, coalition partners and journalists showed less interest in the everyday work of the Cabinet of Ministers. Speaking about a possible tax on Netflix and other streaming platforms, Kulbergs opposed its implementation, pointing out that it could hinder cooperation with the USA. He said that the USA currently ranks 15th in terms of Latvia's foreign trade, behind Russia, and mentioned discussions with American entrepreneurs, the Hollywood industry, and security and the deployment of US forces in Latvia. According to him, during the Latvian president's visit to the USA, the US ambassador had organized a meeting for the Latvian business delegation with about 300 high-level entrepreneurs, while HBO had already arrived in Latvia for talks. Kulbergs estimated that the streaming platform fee could generate about 600,000 euros but emphasized that those costs would likely be borne by consumers, with subscription prices increasing. He believed that the funding for the Latvian film industry could be found in other ways, including reviewing the SIF programs, and he criticized the Ministry of Culture for not finding a solution without a new tax in four months. #Latvija #vēlēšanas #politika (translated)
