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)

Velps pointed out that the VID rating was “B — needs to improve compliance,” that the company employed two people in 2026, and that its office and warehouse were located in Hong Kong.
