According to Ciril, only the man worked, while the family received social transfers. He also noted that the agent brought them forms for various types of assistance and explained where to submit them, including assistance for purchasing firewood before winter. After a year, the worker quit and went to work in Austria, while the wife and children, according to Ciril, remained on Slovenian social assistance. #sociala #imigracija #delavci (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)
Jāzeps Baško from MMN congratulated the "United List" and Andri Kulbergs on the election results and thanked MMN supporters who voted for the change in the electoral process. He acknowledged that the result was not as good as hoped: MMN ranked eighth with about 3.4% of the votes. In Riga, it was seventh, but in Vidzeme, Zemgale, and Kurzeme, it received a higher percentage of support than in the capital. Baško said that MMN would continue its work and form a right-wing, national-conservative, and ideologically-based party. In his opinion, Kulberg has now been entrusted with changing Latvia's political course, but MMN from outside the parliamentary opposition will offer him ideas. Baško also expressed that no good is expected in restricting immigration if the "United List" does not form a small coalition with NA, emphasizing that the new parliament will need MMN's criticism and ideological contribution. Baško believed that the "United List" results will further highlight the change in the electoral process proposed by MMN. He claimed that there will be at least a dozen deputies in the Saeima who had more negatives than positives in the elections and who are little known to the wider public. As an example, he mentioned a candidate who, a day before submitting the lists, withdrew from candidacy for MMN, joined the "United List" list, and was now elected to the Saeima, even though she had a high number on the list. Baško pointed out that the candidate had previously participated in the MMN political council a few times. #vēlēšanas #Latvija #politika (translated)
