That looks like mafia action. For what those companies are paying? Tens of thousands, what will they get for that? Looks like Lembergs is like a kind if “godfather” of his clan.

So now America will dictate Latvia's politics? GTFO of my country.

Why is the Russian government worried an attack could take place in Kaliningrad? It's a small portion of land surrounded by countries that, despite being members of NATO, could be quickly crippled by Russian forces. I understand that it is an important port, but I feel that insertion of ground forces in the Oblast is unnecessary and only serves to threaten NATO allies. Thoughts?

So Ventspils Freeport will miraculously chose Meroni to its board and Anrijs Lembergs as a backup. The General Prosecutor needs to prosecute cases against people, not let them set timetables, number of lawyers and when and if judges can sit. If the defendant is ill and has lawyer, you carry on without them. If lawyer is ill, you give them a few days. You do not recess for months.
