"Now they will pretend to be very active," suggested veteran Latvian politician and Saeima deputy Ilgvars Lidaka (United List) on TV-24. The politician was referring to those parties that are part of the ruling coalition and whose ratings are rapidly declining. And the ratings are falling for all ruling forces, except for Kulbergs' United List. There is exactly one month left until the elections, and politicians really need to launch an attack. The first to charge into battle was the National Alliance and its most prominent figure at the moment - Minister of the Interior Janis Dombrova. Yesterday, he presented a plan to his coalition partners for combating migrants - both illegal and legal. However, the partners were in no hurry to consider the plan - it was decided not to move forward with it for now, as it is very raw and has not been agreed upon with most ministries and experts. This stance from the partners greatly angered Dombrova, who accused Kulbergs of unwillingness to genuinely combat the influx of migrants. Dombrova's statements infuriated Prime Minister Kulbergs, who harshly criticized Dombrova. "The hysteria over immigration sometimes looks like that of a spoiled child from kindergarten," the Prime Minister stated, reminding that the minister should approach his work with much more responsibility. He noted that the presented plan for combating migration had not been agreed upon by other ministries or experts. The document is very raw and contradicts EU legislation. Politicians from the National Alliance did not remain silent and launched a counterattack, suggesting that Kulbergs might be acting in the interests of certain narrow economic groups that support the 'import' of guest workers and foreign students. National Alliance deputy Arturs Butans even accused the Prime Minister of lying, as the plan for immigration restriction measures had been available for consultation since July 24, not as Kulbergs claims - since August 31, just an hour and a half before the coalition council meeting. One wants to say: you representatives of the National Alliance, figure out what documents you are submitting and why! The document mentioned by Butans indeed appeared on the legal acts project portal on July 24, but it was a document on implementing certain recommendations from the parliamentary investigative commission on migration issues. The informational message about measures to restrict migration appeared only on August 31, as Kulbergs said. In any case, we see that relations between the partners have noticeably heated up, and in a couple of weeks, when the elections are just around the corner, the partners will, excuse me, be grabbing each other by the throat, arguing about who is the greater national patriot! It is understandable, as all current ruling parties are fierce competitors and largely share the same electorate. The leaders of the National Alliance understand perfectly that their rating is falling precisely because of Kulbergs and Co., who are winning the sympathies of some voters from the National Alliance by 'combining' moderate national patriotism with real politics and economics! It is obvious that among Dombrova's party voters, there are those who care about more than just the fight against the Russian language and Indians delivering food by bicycle.
