Events in the Black Sea are yet another confirmation that the peace architecture established after the Cold War has collapsed. And when Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine are not enough, it escalates the situation elsewhere in Europe, for example, in Leipzig, near the borders of Bulgaria or Romania, Poland, or Croatia. This is happening continuously. Russia is trying to gain something this way and then present it to its citizens as an achievement. This is the only way to destabilize the European Union. Also, Bulgarian Member of the European Parliament Andrej Novakov said that everything indicates that Russia is behind the drone attacks near the territorial waters of Romania and Bulgaria. #DronuUzbrukumi #MelnāJūra #Krievija (translated)

Andris Kulbergs (AS) wrote the day after the elections that the work of the Cabinet of Ministers continued, and thanked the voters for their trust in him and the UNITED LIST. He stated that the party had also won in the Bolderāja polling station in Riga. Kulbergs pointed out that President Edgars Rinkēvičs had invited all factions to a meeting, the UNITED LIST first, and congratulated it on its historic victory. He added that there was no space for 41 faction deputies in the Saeima and the Presidential Palace. He described the coalition meeting after the elections as the calmest he could recall, stating that the issues were dealt with swiftly. In his opinion, after the elections, coalition partners and journalists showed less interest in the everyday work of the Cabinet of Ministers. Speaking about a possible tax on Netflix and other streaming platforms, Kulbergs opposed its implementation, pointing out that it could hinder cooperation with the USA. He said that the USA currently ranks 15th in terms of Latvia's foreign trade, behind Russia, and mentioned discussions with American entrepreneurs, the Hollywood industry, and security and the deployment of US forces in Latvia. According to him, during the Latvian president's visit to the USA, the US ambassador had organized a meeting for the Latvian business delegation with about 300 high-level entrepreneurs, while HBO had already arrived in Latvia for talks. Kulbergs estimated that the streaming platform fee could generate about 600,000 euros but emphasized that those costs would likely be borne by consumers, with subscription prices increasing. He believed that the funding for the Latvian film industry could be found in other ways, including reviewing the SIF programs, and he criticized the Ministry of Culture for not finding a solution without a new tax in four months. #Latvija #vēlēšanas #politika (translated)

The so-called basket system that was proposed two parliaments ago essentially did not solve anything. It was planned that part of the population would receive a limited number of services, while the other would receive the so-called full basket, but the limited amount of services actually includes the same as the full one. Because access to a family doctor was included, and if that patient goes to a family doctor, they receive all the same, because the family doctor says: I cannot establish a diagnosis without examinations, without laboratory tests, and so on," Circene explained. #veselībasaprūpe #divugrozuprincips #Saeima (translated)

Degvielas cenu kāpums, ko izraisījusi ASV karš pret Irānu, rada lielu spiedienu uz Eiropas valstu ekonomikām un valdības meklē veidus, kā mazināt negatīvās sekas gan iedzīvotājiem, gan nozarēm, kas atkarīgas no degvielas, vienlaikus saskaroties ar ierobežotu iespējamo atbalstu, ko tās var sniegt. #DegvielasCenas #Ekonomika #Eiropa
