Russia is bombing Ukrainian ports and preventing Ukrainian grains from reaching the world market, but at the same time wants to profit from transporting its grains through the EU. Our infrastructure must not help Russia finance its war. We must increase pressure on the aggressor and help Ukraine deliver its goods to the world market. Mihals plans to raise this issue at the European Council meeting next week in Brussels. #Ukraina #KrievijasAgresija #Tirdzniecība (translated)

That Bloke wrote that the Vatometer has completely gone out of control.

Alvis Hermanis announced that he has resigned from the position of leader of the party "We Change the Rules" and will henceforth remain a regular member. He acknowledged that he had not been able to convince the public of the need to change the rules, and therefore, in his opinion, the leadership should be entrusted to someone else, and the party members should decide on this matter. Hermanis recommended Jāzeps Baško for the leadership position, whom he described as an idealistic, smart, honest, persistent, and principled person. He urged other party members to support Baško. Hermanis also wrote that he would continue to implement the party's program but would start with himself and change his consciousness and habits. He expressed the view that it is not possible to transform the world, and pointed out that he would not give up on the goal but would try to achieve it differently. #partija #nākotne #izmaiņas (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Sergejs Muļivanovs, whom he described as a pro-Kremlin activist, had previously organized street actions in Riga and had gone to the Cabinet of Ministers with posters. Kasems claimed that Muļivanovs had participated in a conference at the Moscow Institute of CIS Countries, where, according to him, the future of the indigenous peoples of the Baltic States was discussed in the event of the region's occupation. According to Kasems, Muļivanovs has not returned to Latvia after moving to Russia and obtained Russian citizenship in 2024. He pointed out that Ruslans Pankratovs had been looking for Muļivanovs, but publicly available Russian court databases contained a record of a person with the same full name being detained on April 3 under article 159 of the Russian Criminal Code for fraud. Kasems added that in the case materials, the suspect was described as someone who had recently obtained citizenship and was officially unemployed in Russia, and claimed that fraud could carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Kasems sarcastically asked whether Muļivanovs' supporters would act on the principle of "not leaving their own behind" and suggested that the detention could be an attempt to force him to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense and send him to war. He also noted that he had anticipated Allas Berezovska's reaction to the detention, but according to him, she had not written about this case. #vatņiki #krievija #nvsInstitūts #propaganda #muļivanovs #krievija #vatņiki #nvsInstitūts (translated)

That bloke announced the publication of Vatometrs — a system that compiled data on Latvian voters based on a derogatory political label he used. In the data he published for 2026, Daugavgrīva was indicated as the Riga district with the highest rate — 54.7%. He mentioned that the average rate for Riga was 23.2%, while for Latvia it was 17.3%, and shared a link where the results for a specific location could be found. https://t.co/gSu3P8AW2W https://t.co/SiVbKkA3co #Latvija #vēlēšanas #statistika (translated)

Alvis Hermanis wrote that the electoral system proposed by MMN would allow at least 30 Kulbergs and another 30 people, whom he considered smarter than Kulberg, to be elected to parliament, and the prohibition on the combination of offices would be lifted. He stated that the people he represented had focused on the causes of problems rather than their consequences. Hermanis pointed out that in the last six months, MMN had helped change the political agenda of Latvia, with changes in state governance rules or "general cleaning" becoming a significant topic in the parties' rhetoric. He claimed that the ideas of MMN had become the main content of Kulberg's nightly video self-films, adding that Kulberg had admitted to Domburs that AS did not have its own program. He expressed satisfaction that MMN's ideas were being utilized and hoped that Kulberg would succeed in implementing the movement's political program. Hermanis believed he could have done it better himself, but he also assessed this opportunity as acceptable. He also wrote that the JV/Pro monopoly had been broken and the state had regained hope of recovery. At the same time, Hermanis expressed concerns about immigration, as Kulberg supported the import of low-skilled labor, which he believed would become an existential threat in the long term. He said that Rinkēvičs should return to live with his mother, accusing him of subjecting the entire nation to security risks during the war and appointing Sprūds and Siliņa to responsible positions so that he could live in a palace himself. Hermanis added that they had been lucky, but everything was not yet over, and thanked the supporters of MMN, saying that they had at least tried. #politika #Latvija #demokrātija (translated)

Raivis Zeltīts indicated that, with nearly complete compilation of the parliamentary election results, 1.3% of voters, or about 11,000 people, had voted for "Rising Sun for Latvia" (ASL). He acknowledged that this did not meet the party's goal, but considered the result respectable for a new party, especially given what he believed was a smaller advertising budget for the campaign and the public media's ban on participating in most of the television debates. Zeltīts claimed that the media simultaneously provided a platform for pro-Kremlin parties. Zeltīts thanked the party's voters, activists, and candidates, stating that ASL would assess the campaign, change tactics, and continue its work. He emphasized that the party's priority was to maintain its core values, describing the campaign as a political school for its members. Among the factors influencing the election results, Zeltīts mentioned calls not to vote for small parties and voters' disillusionment with politics. He attributed the low voter turnout entirely to the responsibility of "New Unity." In contrast, he viewed the public image of "United List" and Andris Kulbergs as successful, noting that the large campaign budget and 35% result had left other Latvian parties with less support. Zeltīts also claimed that since the rule of "New Unity," there had been no significant change in the political course and that a centrist-liberal, pro-immigration party was in power. #Vēlēšanas #Latvija #Politika (translated)

Truth claimed that the "Progressives" party routinely covers for its members accused of violence or misconduct. It wrote that Mārtiņš, described as a burned-out progressive, had seduced an orphan, and the party considered it a minor issue. Truth also claimed that Andris Sprūds had beaten his wife until she left him, and that Atis Švinka had harassed female employees at the Ministry of Defense without the party reacting to it. Regarding Staķis, Truth wrote that he had slept with aides and used drugs, claiming the whole party was aware of it. Truth also accused Švinka of embezzlement through his wife Anda Švinka’s organization, stating that the funds did not reach women who had suffered from violence. Truth also claimed that for the "Progressives," the Istanbul Convention exists only on paper and not in real life, asking how naive or foolish one must be to ignore this information. #Progresīvie #vardarbība #StambulasKonvencija (translated)
