Pins criticized the work of Latvia's banks and state services, claiming that banks can quickly block accounts and demand extensive information while various fraudsters and state enemies remain unpunished. He accused the services of inaction and lack of accountability, as well as claiming that they were hiding mistakes behind state secrets. According to him, the services are spending millions, but the return on their work is worth only about 50 euros. He compared this to Burkina Faso, while likening the work of Saeima deputies to the level of Albania, also pointing out that the services have been granted a status worthy of Mossad and MI5. Pins expressed that revoking citizenship from people he considered fraudsters would not be enough and that they should be prosecuted. He specifically mentioned Kalviņš, Ņinka Linde, and Hopšteters. Meanwhile, officials whom he believed had helped advance these issues should be removed from their well-paid positions. He also claimed that the services had granted top-level clearances to Rosļikovi, Jencīši, and Čulkovi and soon could grant them to the Stepaņenko family. He urged Andris Kulbergs and his associates to take action rather than continue collaborating with representatives of the New Unity party. Pins stated that he wants real punishments for the misuse of state resources and the discrediting of Latvia's name. Separately, he criticized the Latvian Academy of Sciences, claiming that a pseudo-scientist's name with a Hirsch index of 1 is engraved on its Honorary plaque, while Andrejs Ērglis has a Hirsch index of 62. He described the leaders of the Academy in an insulting manner. https://t.co/Qh69dKdEHM #Latvija #korupcija #politika (translated)
