This law could - and still can! - be very helpful. But it is necessary for the law to really work, and every voice on it is important," added Zelensky. The US sanctions suspension, the easing of pressure on the aggressor, monetary rewards for Putin - all this only encourages him to continue the attacks. We must not back down from our positions and must try to end the war. #Ukraina #sankcijas #karš (translated)

Jānis Dombrava wrote that there was recently a ceiling plaster fall in the Jēkabpils police department, and work in the building was halted. He pointed out that the building had been in poor condition for years, even though several tens of thousands of euros had been spent on its maintenance each year, including staff salaries. Over a few years, the expenses had reached approximately one hundred thousand euros, he wrote. After visiting the building, Dombrava expressed that its condition indicated systematic negligence on the part of those responsible. He emphasized that the management system of the Properties State Agency must be changed immediately, as well as the person in charge of the building. Dombrava stated that a meeting with the responsible institutions is planned for next week to discuss solutions for improving the working conditions of the Eastern Zemgale department. He also pointed out that police officers must be provided with a safe and proper working environment. #Jēkabpils #Policija #Drošība (translated)

Katrīna Iļjinska wrote that NGOs oppose the liquidation of the SIF and expressed that organizations receiving funding from institutions would also oppose its liquidation. She reported that Andris Kulbergs had asked the ministries to justify the payments made, but the KM, SIF, and ZM referred to government action plans that, according to Iļjinska, appeared later than the relevant payments. She criticized the allocation of funding without competitions and justification. Iļjinska quoted published information that the most funding without a competition had been received by "Latvijas Platforma attīstības sadarbībai" and "Centrs MARTA" from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She also pointed out that the Ministry of Finance, led by "Jaunā Vienotība," had allocated a total of 899,639 euros to "Centrs MARTA" from the state budget without a competition over these 2.5 years. https://t.co/6e2JczNJa1 #Latvija #SIF #finanses (translated)

Raimonds asked what amount in euros would be permissible to support the Russian army. He wrote that the interlocutor, in his opinion, did not understand: the woman was prosecuted not for the amount of money, but for the very fact of support. He also inquired whether cases of rape should be assessed based on the duration of the violence. #Krievija #Tiesības #Vardarbība (translated)

Lato Lapsa wrote that he remembered the difficulties in determining the allocation of bonuses, supplements, and monetary awards to officials at a time when the relevant person was a decision-maker in the State Chancellery.

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)

Šodien dzirdēju, ka LM valsts sekretārs Ingus Alliks ir ļoti satraukts par šo rakstu.

Ir skaidrs - nekādas leiputrijas nebūs. Priekšā ir četri izaicinoši gadi, arī budžeta un naudas trūkuma apstākļos. Bet lēmumi būs jāpieņem. Gan populāri, gan nepopulāri, jo atbildību atlikt vairs nevar. Tāpēc sestdien balsošu par Apvienoto sarakstu - par Kulbergu! #vēlēšanas #politika #vadība
