Katrīna Iļjinska wrote that responsibility for what happened should be taken by G. Kūtris and the other members of the Saeima committee, as the committee, in her opinion, verifies the documents that are to be advanced further. She also believed that the new citizen should be provided with explanations. Iļjinska pointed out that a comment from Kulbergs would be necessary; however, in her opinion, it would be even worse if the Prime Minister, at the European Council meeting, while trying to secure a better budget for Latvia, also had to monitor the activities of the Saeima and review the committee's documents. #Saeima #Atbildība #Latvija (translated)

She believed that responsibility should also be demanded from Kalviņš, who has publicly lobbied for granting citizenship to an Indian woman, but the main responsibility should lie with the deputies who voted for it. https://t.co/gGjKG66Mb0 https://t.co/dt466VxNYz #Latvija #politika #pilsonība (translated)

If we objectively evaluate this data, more than 50% of citizens decided to use their vote in the elections. When we look at European indicators, this is quite a good figure. One of the union leaders, Saeima deputy Edmunds Jurēvics responded affirmatively: "I think that definitely any politician, including myself, must take responsibility for this as well, but let's divide it into three parts." #vēlēšanas #faktupārbaude #dezinformācija (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)

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)

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)
