Māris Mičerevskis wrote that the problem, in his opinion, was not related to the recruitment of a single Indian scientist, as one person does not change anything significantly. He criticized that neither the Latvian Academy of Sciences, nor security institutions, nor the Saeima had paid attention to what was happening. Mičerevskis ironically mentioned bringing the "new Englishman" to the countryside and hopes to boost industry and develop science, adding that it would be better to buy new galoshes. #zinātne #rūpniecība #sabiedrība (translated)

Roman Kolář appreciated two contributions from the frontman of the band Rybičky 48, Kuba Ryba, and wrote that they should also be published on the X network. According to him, it is important when public figures speak about social issues, even if it may cost them some fans. He cited Drábová, Svěrák, and Vetchý as examples. Kolář wrote that Ryba explains the topic to people publicly and compared him to Hejma, whom he stated spreads pro-Russian disinformation. According to Kolář, there has been a long-term failure in defending against hybrid warfare, especially disinformation, and the situation is worsening. He criticized EU politicians for not wanting to pressure social networks to delete fake accounts, verify user existence during registration, or limit the spread of disinformation. He dismissed objections that such measures would mean censorship or the creation of a "Ministry of Truth" as nonsense. He called for pressure on EU lawmakers and the European Commission to address the issue. He warned that otherwise, pro-Russian political forces could win in other countries. In Germany, he labeled the AfD as a pro-Russian Nazi party and Die Linke as a pro-Russian communist party; he also noted that they have opposite views on migration. In France, he identified both Le Pen and Mélenchon as pro-Russian. #dezinformace #hybridníválka #politik (translated)

According to Vasco, there were controversies in all three matches: against Recoleta, Maza allegedly allowed Boca to take the kickoff at the beginning of both halves; against São Paulo, a red card deemed incorrect was overturned by VAR; and against Vasco, the club questioned the lack of appropriate punishment for a tackle on Andrés Gómez in the first half. The team also demanded that the refereeing of the return game be impartial. #Vasco #Arbitragem #CopaSulAmericana (translated)

Marats Kasems criticized the Progressive Party's actions regarding the scandal involving former Riga City Council deputy Mārtiņš Eņģelis. He claimed that the party leadership did not immediately go to the police after reports of the sexual exploitation of a minor girl, citing the girl's request to remain silent about the incident. Kasems suggested that the decision may have been influenced by the upcoming elections, which, according to him, were expected in a few days. Kasems pointed out that before the scandal, the party's public stance on Eņģelis was related to workplace burnout. He also accused the public media LSM of allegedly defending the party and presenting sexual offenses as a tool for political struggle. Kasems wrote that he took this case personally, as he had been an orphan since the age of 11 after his mother's death and had sought help from the municipality. He expressed hope that the law enforcement agencies would continue to review the case. #Progresīvie #bārene #LSM #RīgasDome #StambulasKonvencija #Progresīvie #bārene #RīgasDome (translated)
