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)

Currently, security risks are high, especially in the border area where border construction is taking place and significant defense issues are being addressed. Each municipality has a civil protection plan, and municipal deputies are part of this system. Therefore, it is essential to prevent situations where individuals with access to security-related information or who play a significant role in crisis management may fall under the influence of Russia or Belarus. The chairman of the Saeima Defense Committee responsible for the bill, Raimonds Bergmanis ("United List"), previously emphasized that municipal deputies play a crucial role in the civil protection system, and therefore, in the current security situation, it is necessary to mitigate possible risks. #Latvija #NacionālāDrošība #Saeima (translated)

@suvajevs Tiktokā aizgūtnēm stāsta, cik slikts ir Waterfront projekts. Piekrītu, Andri! Bet… tas ir Rīgas pašvaldības akceptēts projekts un pašvaldību šobrīd vada Progresīvo mērs. Tad varbūt arī dariet kaut ko-cīnieties, anulējiet atļaujas un nebūvējiet infrastruktūru… #Rīga #Waterfront #projekts

‼️Liepnā iedzīvotāji satraukti par migrantu🚷🚷🚷uzvedību‼️ 👉@retv_lv sižetā Alūksnes pašvaldības policijas šefs komentē uztrauktas sievietes bažas par migrantu uzvedību: “Viņi ir ar testosteronu bagāti vīrieši [..] un viņiem ir interesanti uz Jums paskatīties!”🤯 👇👇👇 https://t.co/sCcgaDTpqu #migrācija #sabiedrība #uzvedība

‼️ Aicinu Finanšu ministriju steidzami mainīt normatīvos aktus, lai pēc dabas stihijām pašvaldības drīkstētu bez atlīdzības nodot iedzīvotājiem pašvaldības zemē kritušos kokus. ❌ Šobrīd ir izveidojusies absurda situācija – iedzīvotāji ir gatavi paši aizbraukt, sazāģēt un aizvest vētrā nogāztu koku, tādā veidā palīdzot pašvaldībai ātrāk sakopt teritoriju, atjaunot elektroapgādi un transporta kustību, bet normatīvo aktu regulējums to neļauj. Tā vietā pašvaldībai šī koksne ir jāuzskaita kā manta, jāorganizē tās atsavināšana un jāievēro virkne procedūru, lai gan daudzos gadījumos koka novākšana pašvaldībai izmaksā vairāk, nekā no tā realizācijas vispār iespējams iegūt. ❗ Rosinu noteikt, ka pēc vētras, plūdiem, ugunsgrēka vai citas dabas stihijas publiska persona var bez atlīdzības nodot privātpersonām personīgai lietošanai tās teritorijā radušos koksni, zarus un citus augu izcelsmes atlikumus, ja šī manta nav saimnieciski lietderīgi realizējama vai tās realizācijas izmaksas pārsniedz iespējamos ieņēmumus. 📝 Šāds regulējums ne tikai palīdzētu ātrāk likvidēt dabas stihiju sekas, bet arī samazinātu pašvaldību izdevumus, sniegtu praktisku atbalstu mājsaimniecībām un novērstu situācijas, kad vētras radītā koksne tiek nevajadzīgi izšķērdēta. #finanses #vides aizsardzība #sabiedrības interesi

Krīzes vadības centra vadītājs norādījis, ka pēc nesenās stiprās vētras, kas Latviju skāra 22. augustā, iedzīvotājiem ieteicams apgādāties ar ģeneratoriem, savukārt pašvaldības var ierobežot pulcēšanos un pārvietošanos līdz divām nedēļām, kamēr tiek īstenoti priekšlikumi par labāku informācijas apmaiņu krīzes situācijās. #VUGD #vētra #katastrofa
