The Truth claimed that last week individuals led by the security services of Russia and Belarus had penetrated Latvian territory and carried out diversions, which were reportedly documented on video. The author reproached the President of the State, Edgars Rinkēvičs, for not convening a meeting of the National Security Council and informing the public about what had happened and Latvia's reaction. The Truth also criticized most Latvian media for portraying the incident as insignificant. The author described Rinkēvičs as incapable and unwilling to respond to threats to national security, and claimed that the president was informed about Sprūda's harmful activities and the corruption and negligence of the State Border Guard, yet did not take action. The Truth pointed out that the border guard lacked sensors, cameras, and drones, but there was no accountability, adding that the commander of the National Armed Forces publicly stated that this issue did not concern him. The Truth questioned whether, in the event of war, Rinkēvičs would also fail to respond and whether the border guard and the commander of the National Armed Forces would not seek accountability from each other. The author expressed hope that Latvia would have a new president next year who would not be elected with Lembergs' support and would consider national security. #Latvija #Drošība #Politika (translated)
