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)

Liāna Langa wrote that the members of the Saeima have assistants who can check the facts and pointed out that the Latvian parliament does not grant citizenship every day. She believed that responsibility should also be demanded from Kalviņš, who has publicly lobbied for granting citizenship to an Indian woman, but the main responsibility should lie with the deputies who voted for it. https://t.co/gGjKG66Mb0 https://t.co/dt466VxNYz #Latvija #politika #pilsonība (translated)

Māris Mičerevskis wrote that for some unknown reason someone had brought a woman, but no one had verified it. Ironically, he added that "it will work out" and pointed out that such a situation does not promote trust in science, the media, and the Saeima. He asked why there is such a strong reluctance to delve into it. #zinātne #mediji #uzticība (translated)

Daina asked Ance Tētere, Edgar Rinkēvičs, Andris Kulbergs, Artūrs Butāns, and Zanda Kalniņa-Lukaševica whether the Saeima's Legal Bureau should be dismissed regarding this case. She claimed that a scam was clearly visible in it and wrote that ordinary citizens had also noticed discrepancies concerning the education, degrees, and publications of the person she referred to as a scientist. #Saeima #Latvija #Afēra (translated)

The incorrect one wrote that if Latvia wanted Indian scientists to stay in the country, they should be attracted by offering Latvian citizenship. He said that he would not argue with the proponent of this idea, but he doubted the Members of the Saeima who supported it and described them with offensive words. https://t.co/xnJCVY73jW #Latvija #pilsonība #zinātne (translated)

Katrīna Iļjinska, writing that she agreed with Jurģis' statement, questioned the broad granting of citizenship and urged the Saeima and supporters of the decision to explain why Latvian citizenship was urgently granted to an Indian citizen. She asked whether the justification was that the woman's husband lives in Latvia, or if she was in danger in India, and what her special merits for Latvia were. Iļjinska pointed out that the woman's connection to Latvia began in 2019, and asked if she spoke Latvian. If she didn't, she didn't understand why citizenship would be granted; if she did, she questioned why the woman couldn't naturalize. Iļjinska also asked why one couldn't stay in Latvia with a temporary residence permit and emphasized that there are other mechanisms that allow people to live in Latvia. She characterized the granting of citizenship in such cases as a dangerous practice and pointed out that based on such a principle, any citizen from Russia, Pakistan, or China with a doctoral degree who has lived in Latvia for years could also demand citizenship through the Saeima. Iļjinska called for an explanation of the decision. #pilsonība #Latvija #sabiedrība (translated)

Artūrs Zvejsalnieks, who characterized himself as a criminal law professional with over 20 years of experience, urged Andris Kulbergs not to allow Judins to become the head of the Saeima's Legal Commission again. Zvejsalnieks wrote that he did not know what had happened in the Saeima concerning Judins and a certain employee, but he believed that Judins was one of the main causes of the problems in criminal law in Latvia. He claimed that criminal liability in Latvia was defined too broadly, and the process was cumbersome and ineffective, leading to an overload of police and courts. According to Zvejsalnieks, even professionals found it difficult to predict what the prosecution would subsequently consider punishable by law. He described this situation as one of the factors hindering Latvia's development. #Latvija #krimināltiesības #juridiskākomisija (translated)
