Baiba, you have written a lot of tweets because you cannot write one sentence: “I will not do it.” If you think that Ragozin should stay in Latvia, say so. I would categorically disagree, but at least it wouldn’t be cowardly. You are smarter than you are pretending to be right now. You know perfectly well why the Ministry of Interior's approach is not working: the services do not identify a direct threat, the annulment would be appealed, the state would lose in court. That is exactly why the legislator has established the possibility for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to include individuals on the unwanted list – a political, non-appealable decision. And it is signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Neither the Ministry of Interior nor any advisor. Advice from a foreign policy advisor - for free: read the replies under your tweet. No one is asking who wrote to whom on 16.09. Everyone is asking one thing: why doesn’t the minister, who has specific powers under the law, use them? Answer them, not me. Because Ragozin is currently protected not by the law, but by your hesitation. Come on, Baiba, get to work. (translated)

The State Security Service (VDD) and the Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIDD) detained a couple on June 28 this year, suspected of espionage on behalf of the Russian intelligence service, for obtaining and passing information about Latvia's defense system and NATO activities.

One should not defend the candidate or minister of another party, but this is a national issue in essence. The foreign minister's decision on "persona non grata" is a quick process that is exclusively within the competence of the foreign minister. The interior minister must carry out procedural actions and also obtain opinions from competent state institutions, which may also mean stalling the decision at lower levels. If Dombrava calls for an immediate declaration of "non grata," then I assume there is a basis for it. And that is your competence. It is a faster process. And this is a decisive time. If the occupant hadn't been ousted before the 2022 elections, it would still stand because there wouldn't have been the necessary pressure of public opinion afterwards. It seems like a delay in the opportunity to get rid of one walking occupier… If there are no results now, we will continue to bring shame to the country. (translated)

The presidents of the Baltic States Academy of Sciences condemn the attacks carried out by Russia on the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and call on international organizations to suspend Russia's participation in scientific projects until the country stops its aggression against Ukraine.

Considering the circumstance that the Russian citizen L. Ragozin has publicly expressed views that are in direct contradiction to the interests of the state of Latvia over an extended period, I therefore call on the Foreign Minister to include the aforementioned person in the list of persons undesirable to the Republic of Latvia (persona non grata). In his public activities, L. Ragozin has: blamed the West for Russia's aggressive actions; spoken about the ineffectiveness of sanctions, calling them ones that provoke Russia; attempted to justify Russia's aggressive foreign policy, questioning whether Russia could have imperialist interests in gaining influence in Ukraine and elsewhere; discredited Ukraine, its political leadership, and armed forces. His expressed views have often overlapped with messages aimed at reducing Western support for Ukraine; in his public activities, he has criticized the West and Ukraine. As a result, his actions can be evaluated as those aimed at steering Western public opinion in a direction favorable to Russia. Due to such activities, it would be justified to consider L. Ragozin politically undesirable in Europe (persona non grata), but these activities cannot be regarded as such that would allow for the capture of circumstances mentioned in the Immigration Law that grant the Minister of Interior the authority to include a person in the list of foreigners banned from entering the Republic of Latvia; therefore, I call on the Foreign Minister to make a decision regarding the inclusion of the aforementioned person in the persona non grata list.

❗️ Dear friends! Definitely go to the elections! Don't stay at home! This year the "vatniks" are mobilized like never before — there have not been so many posts on social networks urging people to vote since the referendum on the second state language. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And it's not surprising, because these elections — no matter how banal it sounds — are currently the most important in Latvia's history. Four years ago, it seemed that the war in Europe would soon end, and everyone could live as before. ⚠️ Now it is clear that the agony of the Kremlin regime will continue for more than a few years, and it is logical that these convulsions threaten the orc neighbors. That is why the "vatniks" are mobilizing as if this were their last battle. 🔥 Vote for any pro-Latvian party — you know their names well. For those who advocate for Ukraine's independence, categorically against joint business with Russia, and support the maximum imposition of sanctions on this damned country. 🫣 I understand that many of you are disappointed in politicians and their parties. You may be thinking about not wasting your time voting. 🤔 My advice to you: come and drop an empty envelope in the ballot box if really no one appeals to you. Then, thanks to high voter turnout, the anti-state forces will get fewer seats in the parliament. 🇬🇧 My friend Dmitry, who lives in Birmingham, will be traveling to London to vote. It’s not a cheap train trip, and besides, he will have to spend about 2.5 hours one way from home to the polling station. He will do it because he really doesn't want Latvia to become part of the Moscow Reich. 🙏 I am sure that for most of you, getting to the polling station is much easier. Don't ignore the day when Latvia chooses its future development path! We are currently at a historic crossroads, and the path our country will take further depends on each of us! Let’s be responsible this weekend! #elections #HistoricMoment #vatniks #mobilization #Kremlin (translated)

Saeimas Nacionālās drošības komisijas priekšsēdētājs Ainārs Latkovskis ("Jaunā Vienotība") apstiprinājis, ka šī informācija ir nonākusi līdz Valsts drošības dienestam, situācija tika pārrunāta ar tā priekšnieku Normundu Mežvietu, un dienests pašlaik veic pārbaudi #OxygenForensics #digitālāsizmeklēšanas #drošībasriski

Valsts policija Latvijā pabeigusi izmeklēšanu par vīrieti, kurš apsūdzēts par 20 seksuāla rakstura noziegumiem pret 14 nepilngadīgām meitenēm, iekļaujot bērnu pornogrāfijas izgatavošanu un nepilngadīgo pavedināšanu internetā. #seksuālienoziegumi #nepilngadīgie #internetaizsardzība

Turpinot izmeklēšanu iepriekš izdalītā kriminālprocesā saistībā ar organizētas noziedzīgas grupas darbību Latvijā, Valsts policija nākusi uz pēdām meklēšanā esošam vīrietim, kurš tiek turēts aizdomās par personas noslepkavošanu sevišķi pastiprinošos apstākļos. Neskatoties uz to, ka 1976. gadā dzimušais vīrietis izmantoja dažādas konspirācijas metodes, lai slēptu savu atrašanās vietu, Valsts policijai, izmantojot starptautiskās sadarbības mehānismus, izdevās izskaitļot vīrieša atrašanās vietu un šī gada 18. septembrī Lietuvas kriminālpolicijas amatpersonas, iesaistot arī Lietuvas policijas pretterorisma vienību ARAS vīrieti aizturēja Lietuvā, Šauļos. Šobrīd viņam piemērots drošības līdzeklis apcietinājums un viņš drīzumā tiks izdots Latvijas Valsts policijai turpmāko procesuālo darbību veikšanai.
