One should not defend the candidate or minister of another party, but this is a national issue in essence. The foreign minister's decision on "persona non grata" is a quick process that is exclusively within the competence of the foreign minister. The interior minister must carry out procedural actions and also obtain opinions from competent state institutions, which may also mean stalling the decision at lower levels. If Dombrava calls for an immediate declaration of "non grata," then I assume there is a basis for it. And that is your competence. It is a faster process. And this is a decisive time. If the occupant hadn't been ousted before the 2022 elections, it would still stand because there wouldn't have been the necessary pressure of public opinion afterwards. It seems like a delay in the opportunity to get rid of one walking occupier… If there are no results now, we will continue to bring shame to the country. #politika #valdība #Ārlietas (translated)
