She pointed out that with comparable revenues of 100 million euros, the company employed 160 employees, whose salary fund was 7.5 million euros, while in Estonia there were fewer than 60 employees with a salary fund of 3.5 million euros.

The Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs commented on airBaltic's planned layoffs, emphasizing that the company's management must inform employees in a timely manner and comply with legal requirements, while the possible reduction could involve between 500 to 700 jobs. #airBaltic #darbinieki #restructurizācija (translated)

Jānis Citskovskis wrote that in the published declaration of the former Director of the State Chancellery, Kronbergs, a compensation of 78,982 euros for 4.5 months of work in 2026 was indicated, although his monthly salary, according to Citskovskis, was 6,346 euros. He called on Andris Kulbergs to find out whether, with Prime Minister Evika Siliņa and Kronbergs agreeing on the termination of civil service relations, Kronbergs was also paid a severance allowance of three months' salary — more than 19 thousand euros. Citskovskis pointed out that the KNAB detained Kronbergs on May 14 of this year in a criminal case involving the timber industry, and Siliņa initially suspended him from office. Referring to what Kronbergs told LSM, he wrote that Kronbergs initially wanted to submit his resignation, but Siliņa urged him to reconsider. Later, they agreed to terminate civil service relations as of May 18. In Citskovskis' view, if Kronbergs had left voluntarily, he would not be entitled to the allowance, but the agreement might have allowed him to receive it according to paragraph 3 of section 12.¹ of the Compensation Law. Citskovskis mentioned court decisions in criminal cases regarding, in his opinion, illegal allowances paid to departing employees, including cases involving the former rector of the University of Latvia, Muižnieks, and the former mayor of Mārupe, Enci. He suggested that the agreement between Siliņa and Kronbergs might also be evaluated by the Prosecutor's Office. He also claimed that the amounts paid to Kronbergs were not listed in the salary lists published by the State Chancellery for May 2026, but the SRS only published his declaration submitted on July 5 on the evening of October 2. Citskovskis called on Andris Kulbergs and Mārtiņš Gruškevics to address the officials of the State Chancellery, whom he believes have repeatedly violated the requirement to publish paid salaries. He asserted that the lists tend not to be available precisely in the months when bonuses and cash prizes are paid, such as in December 2025, and that they are published with significant delays. #ValstsKanceleja #Amatpersonas #Transparence (translated)

Jānis Liepnieks wrote that at 2:45 AM, only slightly more than 25% of the votes had been counted, and noted that, in his opinion, such a situation had not been experienced before. He expressed that he could only imagine how the election commission staff felt, who had been working in the polling stations since the previous day at 6:30 AM, then waited for hours for permission to start counting the votes, and were now finally doing so. Liepnieks added that the staff had already spent 20 hours at work, and an unknown amount of working time lay ahead of them. #vēlēšanas #Latvija #nodarbošanās (translated)

Andris Kulbergs (AS) indicated that since 2020, the number of state apparatus employees has increased by 10,500, despite a decrease in the number of employed and residents. He claimed that after the municipal reform aimed at saving and reducing resources, the number of employees in municipalities has increased by 2,500. Kulbergs stated that in Latvia, public services account for 26% of GDP, compared to 23% in OECD countries, while 24% of the employed work in the public sector — more than in any other country — compared to 18% in OECD countries. He also claimed that state intervention in the economy has increased by 10 percentage points, reaching a record high of 46%. He expressed that in the next four years, there are plans to change all the mentioned indicators if the political force he represents is given such an opportunity. #valstsaparatā #sabiedriskiepakalpojumi #ekonomika (translated)

Kijivā trešdien norisinājās intensīvi Krievijas uzbrukumi, kā arī apšaude starp Ukrainas Drošības dienesta un Galvenās izlūkošanas pārvaldes darbiniekiem, rezultējoties ievainojumos un iznīcinājumos, bet situāciju izmeklēs Valsts izmeklēšanas birojs. #Kijiva #Ukraina #KrievijasUzbrukumi

❗️❗️❗️ @AndrisKulbergs un @LTRK_uznemeji un citas darba devēju biedrības! Beidziet pretoties @janisdombrava Pretimigrācijas plānam un cerēt, ka Latvijas ekonomiku glabs lētais darbaspēks. 🇩🇪Vācijas un 🇬🇧Anglijas pieredze liecina, ka rezultātā ir nevis ekonomiskais uzrāviens, bet sociāla katastrofa. Labāk kopā ar tautiešu organizācijām ārvalstīs izstrādājam kārtīgu plānu, kā atgriezt latviešus mājās. Tā tomēr ir arī daudzu darba devēju atbildība, jo viņi nevis investēja savā uzņēmumā, bet nopirka mersedesu un darbiniekiem maksāja zem tūkstoša. Arī tādēļ cilvēki brauca prom. Andri Kulberg un @Edgars_T ! @VARAM_Latvija pārziņā ir reemigrācijas veicināšana. Kādēļ par to ir aizmirsts? 🇱🇻 Mums jāsauc tautieši mājās, nevis jāimportē uzbeki un pakistāņi! #ReemigrācijaNevisIslams #Reemigrācija #Latvija #Ekonomika
