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)

Aija Kaija wrote that after treatment at the Oncology Center, she was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, although it was initially planned for Tuesday. According to her, the doctors wanted to perform a lung CT scan. Kaija emphasized that the medical staff at the Riga East Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS) had been careful and professional in her experience. She noted that she received her last brachytherapy procedure on Tuesday, and this time it was easier, thanks to a different anesthesiologist and the removal of instruments by her treating doctor. Kaija advised patients to discuss the use of sedatives and painkillers with their doctors. She also expressed concern for elderly Silvija, who, as Kaija wrote, could not use either chemotherapy or anesthesia during brachytherapy due to heart failure. Kaija also mentioned a woman over 70 years old with stage 4 cervical cancer and a second recurrence. Kaija wrote that her doctors Māra and Zane were satisfied with the treatment results. Zane, according to Kaija, noted that in her experience, patients with similar indicators had recurrence of cancer in less than 10% of cases within a few years. However, whether the cancer has completely disappeared, Kaija wrote, she would find out in three months. She warned that, in her opinion, a break in chemotherapy significantly increases the risk of recurrence and that treatment should be carried out according to the plan. Kaija shared that her friend Sabīne has to stay longer in the hospital during treatment and has settled in Kaija's private room. Kaija noted that the cost per day has increased from 25 to 33 euros. She wrote that Sabīne would not be able to go home on weekends because getting sick during the virus season could interfere with treatment. Regarding her own well-being, Kaija wrote that she feels a pronounced fatigue and lack of energy after therapy, also experiencing menopausal symptoms at the age of 42. She expressed sadness over the fact that she will no longer be able to have children and said she would soon share news about the tests that will show whether the cancer has been overcome. #onkoloģija #veselība #dzīve (translated)

J. wrote to Aija Lynx and Sanita Jemberg that they were confused by the shift in accents: according to him, one specific person was responsible for harming the girl, but attention has been diverted from this person's actions to those who have started talking about it. He added that in everyday life, people often get angry not about their own actions, but rather because someone has found out about them. #societāte #vainas #komunikācija (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Sergejs Muļivanovs, whom he described as a pro-Kremlin activist, had previously organized street actions in Riga and had gone to the Cabinet of Ministers with posters. Kasems claimed that Muļivanovs had participated in a conference at the Moscow Institute of CIS Countries, where, according to him, the future of the indigenous peoples of the Baltic States was discussed in the event of the region's occupation. According to Kasems, Muļivanovs has not returned to Latvia after moving to Russia and obtained Russian citizenship in 2024. He pointed out that Ruslans Pankratovs had been looking for Muļivanovs, but publicly available Russian court databases contained a record of a person with the same full name being detained on April 3 under article 159 of the Russian Criminal Code for fraud. Kasems added that in the case materials, the suspect was described as someone who had recently obtained citizenship and was officially unemployed in Russia, and claimed that fraud could carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Kasems sarcastically asked whether Muļivanovs' supporters would act on the principle of "not leaving their own behind" and suggested that the detention could be an attempt to force him to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense and send him to war. He also noted that he had anticipated Allas Berezovska's reaction to the detention, but according to him, she had not written about this case. #vatņiki #krievija #nvsInstitūts #propaganda #muļivanovs #krievija #vatņiki #nvsInstitūts (translated)
