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)

Juris Liepnieks wrote that violence thrives in silence, especially when officials are involved. He claimed that a media outlet funded by public money has categorically condemned the publication of the name of the perpetrator of the sexual exploitation of a minor orphan and the very fact itself. #vardarbība #sabiedrība #mediji (translated)

The deputy of the Riga City Council, Mārtiņš Eņģelis ("Progressives"), probably lied about the reason for his resignation. The true reason could be related to the paperwork for an application from a minor orphan in law enforcement institutions regarding sexual harassment. https://t.co/9hiOKvq9Tm #Rīga #politika #tiesības (translated)

Il progetto Mose, pur proteggendo Venezia dalle maree, sta compromettendo gravemente l'ecosistema della laguna riducendo il ricambio di acqua e sedimentazione sulle barene, con potenziali conseguenze catastrofiche per la biodiversità locale, come evidenziato da uno studio dell'Università di Padova. #Mose #Venezia #Ecosistema
