For almost ten years, both Republicans and Democrats have rejected the idea that the International Criminal Court would have the authority to hold U.S. citizens, military personnel, or political leaders accountable. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced new sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC). #Sankcijas #StarptautiskāKrimināltiesa #ASV (translated)

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)

In discussions with all the parties elected to the next Saeima, I have concluded that all political forces respect the election results, that the "United List" and Mr. Kulbergs enjoy broad support from other parties, not all, but mostly, to initiate the formation of a government in accordance with the very impressive mandate given by the public. 41 votes in the Saeima is something unique. Everyone is willing to talk and consult with the "United List" and Mr. Kulbergs about the formation of the government. We have agreed that the [current] Prime Minister will also become the [next] candidate for the Prime Minister's position, will negotiate with the political forces elected to the Saeima both about the government coalition and the distribution of responsibilities and tasks, which will result in the government's declaration project," President Edgars Rinkēvičs announced on Tuesday, October 6, that he would also entrust the formation of the new Cabinet to the current Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, whose "United List" (AS) received the historically largest number of mandates in the 15th Saeima elections - 41. #Latvija #valdība #AndrisKulbergs (translated)

Baiba Braže congratulates Andris Kulbergs on the convincing victory of AS in the Saeima elections. She wrote that the unprecedented trust of voters in Latvian history imposes an extremely great responsibility, and wished Kulbergs and AS to prioritize Latvia's security, growth, Latvian identity, and people. #Latvija #vēlēšanas #politika (translated)

UkReinis Pozņaks thanked the voters and wrote that the historical victory has also brought a historical responsibility, so joy has mixed with a little apprehension. He pointed out that in the opposition, successes and failures were up to them, but now they will affect the entire country and there will be no room for excuses. Pozņaks wished Andris Kulbergs endurance and strength. #vēlēšanas #uzvara #atbildība (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)

The Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Marija Pejčinović Burić, emphasizes in an interview that holding Russia accountable for its aggression against Ukraine has begun and requires full international support to ensure lasting peace in the future. #Krievija #Ukraina #EiropasPadome (translated)

Possible criminal offenses against children are a high priority for the State Police, where a thorough investigation will be conducted. This is not a public slogan. It is and will be careful work by the institutions to hold accountable those criminals who commit crimes against children. #BērnuAizsardzība #Noziegumi #ValstsPolicija (translated)

I am really interested, will the party @Progresivie members really not hold anyone in their board accountable for covering up a sexual abuser? At least they should ask on what date the party turned to the police, and how to explain that this happened only after it was clear that it would not be possible to hide and remain silent? #Politika #Atbildība #SociālāTaisnība (translated)

Classic! - The Progressives are seriously trying to push the responsibility for their actions onto the victim!!! They don't care, the victim didn't want police, scandal... then we don't do anything. Violence loves silence. The Progressives ensure that! #vardarbība #atbildība #upuri (translated)

“Krievijas nelieši turpina vērst triecienus pret mūsu valsts dzīvi, Ukrainas bērniem un mūsu skolām, un Krievijai par to ir jāuzņemas skaidra atbildība un jāsaņem atbildes uz saviem triecieniem”Trieciena brīdī bērni atradās patvertnē, tāpēc cietušo nav, liecina Kijivas mēra un Ukrainas prezidenta Volodimira Zelenska paziņojumi. #Kijiva #KrievijasIebrukums #Ukraina

The question regarding Ragozina is simple: is Latvia ready to politically state that a person who systematically disseminates messages beneficial to Russia and discredits Ukraine is not welcome to us? Such a decision falls within the competence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and it is not subject to appeal, unlike the entry ban, which falls under the competence of the Minister of the Interior and is subject to appeal. When loud headlines and quick publicity are needed, there was no problem quickly placing hockey players, musicians, and others on the list (and rightly so!). Meanwhile, against a person who has legitimized the aggressor's foreign policy for years from Europe and polished its image, there suddenly arises a strange blindness and cowardly shirking of responsibility. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is satisfied with Ragozina's actions and statements so far, just say it openly. Blaming the Minister of the Interior for shirking responsibility at a moment when they themselves are afraid to use the clearly delegated powers in the law is simply a sign of weakness. #Latvija #politika #Ukraina (translated)

Taking into account that the Ministry of the Interior has issued a residence permit in Latvia to the Russian citizen mentioned by the minister, the decision falls within the competence of the Minister of the Interior in accordance with Article 104 of the Immigration Law. I would recommend the minister not to evade responsibility a few days before the elections. #Latvija #IekšlietuMinistrija #vēlēšanas (translated)

"81 gada laikā kopš ANO dibināšanas es neesmu ne no viena ASV prezidenta redzējis vai dzirdējis paziņojumu, kas būtu tik ļoti lielā pretrunā tai hartai, ko paši amerikāņi izstrādāja 1945. gadā. Toreiz Sanfrancisko, stāvot uz kara pelniem, amerikāņu atbilde bija: uzvarētājiem nevis tiek laupījums, bet gan atbildība un līderība par labi pārvaldītu, stabilu un taisnīgu pasaules kārtību," #TrampaUzruna #ANO #Irāna
