Oliniete recounted a publication and expressed hope that its description would make even the supporters of refugee reception reconsider. She claimed that the French woman mentioned in the publication had been a member and activist of a French left-wing party, supporting the opening of migration for North African residents, and called those who wanted to stop it racist. According to Oliniete, the woman owned a small shop in a prestigious location. When a crowd attempted to break in, she stood in the doorway trying to protect it, explaining that she herself had been an activist for asylum and migration. Oliniete wrote that the crowd spat on the woman, knocked her to the ground, and trampled her, while the shop was completely looted. Oliniete claimed that the woman lost all her life’s work in a moment. She also pointed out that the previous day French media had published the story and image of the woman by the looted shop. Oliniete described her as incredulous that the people she had defended looted the shop and linked her position to the riots that had occurred in France. #Migrācija #Aktivisms #Francija (translated)

"They have treated her so horribly," Trump said, speaking about the press. "I told her, 'Honestly, if I were in your place, I would reconsider. Think about it. But I would reconsider. You have a wonderful husband and family.' Yesterday I met her family. Wonderful children. Just like from a postcard. I said, 'You should reconsider. Because you don’t want to go through all that.' On Friday, Trump hinted that Zacharia might not stay in the position for long, saying he had advised her to rethink her decision to take on the role." #Zaharija #BaltāNama #Tramps (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)

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)

Aija Kaija wrote that after treatment at the Oncology Center, she was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, although it was initially planned for Tuesday. According to her, the doctors wanted to perform a lung CT scan. Kaija emphasized that the medical staff at the Riga East Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS) had been careful and professional in her experience. She noted that she received her last brachytherapy procedure on Tuesday, and this time it was easier, thanks to a different anesthesiologist and the removal of instruments by her treating doctor. Kaija advised patients to discuss the use of sedatives and painkillers with their doctors. She also expressed concern for elderly Silvija, who, as Kaija wrote, could not use either chemotherapy or anesthesia during brachytherapy due to heart failure. Kaija also mentioned a woman over 70 years old with stage 4 cervical cancer and a second recurrence. Kaija wrote that her doctors Māra and Zane were satisfied with the treatment results. Zane, according to Kaija, noted that in her experience, patients with similar indicators had recurrence of cancer in less than 10% of cases within a few years. However, whether the cancer has completely disappeared, Kaija wrote, she would find out in three months. She warned that, in her opinion, a break in chemotherapy significantly increases the risk of recurrence and that treatment should be carried out according to the plan. Kaija shared that her friend Sabīne has to stay longer in the hospital during treatment and has settled in Kaija's private room. Kaija noted that the cost per day has increased from 25 to 33 euros. She wrote that Sabīne would not be able to go home on weekends because getting sick during the virus season could interfere with treatment. Regarding her own well-being, Kaija wrote that she feels a pronounced fatigue and lack of energy after therapy, also experiencing menopausal symptoms at the age of 42. She expressed sadness over the fact that she will no longer be able to have children and said she would soon share news about the tests that will show whether the cancer has been overcome. #onkoloģija #veselība #dzīve (translated)

Oliniete pointed out that the young woman's name and identity were unknown, and wrote that when the case reached the police, the victim had to relive what happened. She accused Pro and its supporters of hypocrisy: according to Oliniete, they advocated for the Istanbul Convention to protect girls and women who are afraid to report sexual harassment, but in the case involving their party member, they characterized the situation as ambiguous. #Policija #SieviešuTiesības #SeksuālaUzmākšanās (translated)
