"Until now, it has generally been the case that the European Council struggles to deal with more than one leading topic. This time there were several, and the strategic discussion was deepened at least on three topics," said Prime Minister Janez Janša. "It has become very clear that more or less everyone knows where we need to go for energy prices to be lower, and that this will contribute to greater competitiveness for Europe and the European industry. However, it has also shown that it is very difficult to acknowledge past mistakes." "Today we have a situation where the kilowatt-hour of electricity in China is eight cents, in the United States it is 18, and in Europe it is between 28 and 32 cents. Until this is equalized, it is very difficult to talk about Europe achieving competitiveness with some investments," Janša warned. "Before you talk about abandoning old energy sources, you must ensure that you will secure new ones." As one of the key mistakes of past European energy policy, Janša highlighted the attitude towards nuclear energy. Another important topic of the meeting was the enlargement of the European Union, which Janša described as "the strategic offensive response of the European Union to the challenges we face." #EvropskaUnija #Konkurenčnost #Energija (translated)

Aija Kaija wrote that after treatment at the Oncology Center, she was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, although it was initially planned for Tuesday. According to her, the doctors wanted to perform a lung CT scan. Kaija emphasized that the medical staff at the Riga East Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS) had been careful and professional in her experience. She noted that she received her last brachytherapy procedure on Tuesday, and this time it was easier, thanks to a different anesthesiologist and the removal of instruments by her treating doctor. Kaija advised patients to discuss the use of sedatives and painkillers with their doctors. She also expressed concern for elderly Silvija, who, as Kaija wrote, could not use either chemotherapy or anesthesia during brachytherapy due to heart failure. Kaija also mentioned a woman over 70 years old with stage 4 cervical cancer and a second recurrence. Kaija wrote that her doctors Māra and Zane were satisfied with the treatment results. Zane, according to Kaija, noted that in her experience, patients with similar indicators had recurrence of cancer in less than 10% of cases within a few years. However, whether the cancer has completely disappeared, Kaija wrote, she would find out in three months. She warned that, in her opinion, a break in chemotherapy significantly increases the risk of recurrence and that treatment should be carried out according to the plan. Kaija shared that her friend Sabīne has to stay longer in the hospital during treatment and has settled in Kaija's private room. Kaija noted that the cost per day has increased from 25 to 33 euros. She wrote that Sabīne would not be able to go home on weekends because getting sick during the virus season could interfere with treatment. Regarding her own well-being, Kaija wrote that she feels a pronounced fatigue and lack of energy after therapy, also experiencing menopausal symptoms at the age of 42. She expressed sadness over the fact that she will no longer be able to have children and said she would soon share news about the tests that will show whether the cancer has been overcome. #onkoloģija #veselība #dzīve (translated)

Andris Kulbergs (AS) indicated that he defended Latvia's interests in Brussels during negotiations for the next EU budget for 2027–2034. He stated that the negotiations are complex because the European economy is stagnating, yet funds must be found for both security and growth. As one of the main issues, Kulbergs mentioned European competitiveness and energy prices. He emphasized that without a competitive economy, Europe cannot be strong in the long term. Kulbergs pointed out that, in his opinion, the economic consequences of the Russian war and geopolitical situation have particularly affected Latvia. He also highlighted Latvia's role as an Eastern flank country of the EU in protecting external borders and contributing to defense and security.
