Ansis Pūpols asked why the LSM journalist Eva Johansone's association Ascendum distributed what he believed to be a radical pro-Palestinian ideology, pointing out that the association received 222,000 euros from the state budget last year. He linked his question to Satori's news editor Agnese Radziņa, claiming that she had previously been a candidate for the Progressive party's Saeima deputy and had worked in the association ProtestsYouth, which Pūpols described as a radical pro-Palestinian organization. Pūpols asked Eva Johansone whether Satori publications are written in the "Bakery" and whether Ascendum collaborates with the State Security Service in preventing radical extremism. He concluded the post with the hashtag "StateMoneyForOwn." #ValstsNaudaSavējiem #Žurnālistika #Propalestine #Sabiedrība (translated)

The regulation is aimed at providing autonomy and powers to cities and regions to tackle the housing crisis in terms of limiting short-term rentals. Across the EU, cities have previously implemented restrictive measures, but they often ended up in courts, with the European Commission even initiating infringement proceedings against certain member states due to these measures by cities. Now it is regulated in such a way that if a city or region clearly demonstrates that it is under so-called housing stress, they have the legal right to implement restrictive measures," said Bosanac in a statement to Hina. #priuštivoStanovanje #stambenaKrizа #kratkoročniNajam (translated)

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)

Konrad Krasuski wrote that Gimper was accused of illegal gambling advertising after showing the logo of a company related to poker in his material. He pointed out that TVP aired a piece criticizing illegal gambling on the internet but showed logos of the same company, including one that took up the entire frame. He asked whether a case could also be initiated against TVP and wondered if the station is subject to different regulations. Krasuski deemed it absurd that, as he wrote, context does not matter and one can be prosecuted for displaying a logo. He added that he himself censores such content because he does not want to be sued. #hazard #media #prawo (translated)
