The foreign policy debates in the Saeima have been ongoing for six hours now.
Parliamentarians are actively taking the opportunity to remind everyone of their presence from the podium of the Saeima and to speak on global issues. The annual foreign policy debates in the Saeima have been ongoing for six hours now. As this material was being prepared, representatives from all factions proposed to close the list of speakers. The other deputies agreed to this. But even if we count those who managed to register to participate in the debates, it can be predicted that the debates will last for a couple more hours.
As usual, independent deputy Alexander Kiršteins delivered a very critical speech. He noted that currently the global agenda is determined by only three countries - the USA, China, and Russia. With this, he made it clear that the European Union, unfortunately, is not one of the main players on the international stage. According to the deputy, we need to develop our own production, including military production, and he mentioned Canada, which has decided to actively cooperate economically with China. According to the politician, the Volkswagen group, to avoid bankruptcy, also reached an agreement with China for close cooperation.
"We need to start restoring our independence - primarily economic independence, and for this, we need to change the government," the independent deputy concluded. He called for a stricter migration policy to prevent a situation similar to that which has arisen due to the influx of immigrants, including illegal ones, in Sweden. "Last year, there were 147 recorded cases of shootings between migrant gangs in Sweden," the deputy noted.
