I don't know how ready society is to give up the benefits for children, for dependents. These are definitely the questions they will raise. As well as support for "Latvenergo". I'm not saying that they are planning to take that away right now, but those are the benefits we have - for large families, for people with disabilities. These will be very tough discussions. #Budžets #Atvieglojumi #Ģimenes (translated)

Kamil Krilov stated that if Filip Turek or Petr Macinka had acted similarly, it would be written about how they "trolled society." According to him, President Petr Pavel admitted a mistake in planning his vacation, returned to vote in the municipal elections, and then flew back to his vacation. Krilov wrote that he believed Pavel would not only admit his mistake but also rectify it. He reminded that Pavel was once a member of the Communist Party and noted that Pavel had atoned for this many times over as the Chief of the General Staff and later as the head of the NATO Military Committee. For that, he thanked him. He referred to Turek and Macinka as significantly inferior to Pavel and described the SPD as the Czech branch of United Russia. #politika #volby #Česko (translated)

Otto Ozols, after Ragozin's expulsion, asked whether people in Latvia would be named who, in his opinion, helped Ragozin gain publicity and spread Kremlin propaganda, which he presented as investigative journalism. Ozols claimed that Ragozin and his accomplices deliberately spread lies in Latvia before Russia's full-scale attack on Ukraine to discredit Ukraine and diminish Western support. Ozols wrote that Ragozin had allies in Latvia connected to Sarmīte Ēlerte's so-called "Ministry of Truth." He described Ēlerte as an active backroom operative of the New Unity party and an unofficial representative of the party's propaganda efforts. Ozols asserted that there had been no doubt about Ragozin's activities from the very beginning and asked why New Unity had not noticed and acted on it for years. He also associated this question with the transit of manganese ore and Russian grain. Ozols expressed that representatives of New Unity should not be allowed to handle state foreign affairs or security issues. He also wrote that Latvian Radio News, Krustpunktā, and LTV News would likely not investigate or discuss these connections. #Latvija #KremļaPropaganda #Mediķi (translated)
