The United States of America (USA) has always been a reliable and secure ally of Latvia, and also today, at a time when the Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine protect not only their own, but the entire Europe’s external borders, the political, diplomatic and military support of the United States is geopolitically and strategically invaluable and important. This was emphasised by Inese Lībiņa-Egnere, Deputy Speaker of the Saeima and Chair of the National Security Committee, and Rihards Kols, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Saeima, during a working visit to the USA.

"The commemoration and historical investigation of the Holocaust is our moral and political commitment. We are strongly committed to this, both in our own country and internationally. In order to prevent such atrocities from repeating, it is necessary not only to know, but also to analyse the causes of these horrific tragedies. One should know that even in seemingly hopeless situations there are opportunities to resist, as was done by Jewish rescuers in Latvia," said Ināra Mūrniece, Speaker of the Saeima, on Tuesday, November 30, addressing participants of the Commemorative event dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the massacre of the Riga ghetto prisoners at the Rumbula Memorial.

The developments on the Belarusian border are not a migration crisis, but rather a hybrid operation planned and organised by an authoritarian regime. Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland are like gatekeepers stopping an attack on the entire EU, emphasised Ināra Mūrniece, Speaker of the Saeima, on Monday, 29 November, at the conference of the Speakers of Parliament of the Baltic States and the Nordic countries (NB8), taking place in Copenhagen.

On Thursday, 25 November, the Saeima adopted in the second and final reading the urgent amendments to the Epidemiological Safety Law. The amendments provide that pharmacists working in pharmacies may also vaccinate people against COVID‑19.

On Thursday, 25 November, the Saeima adopted in the final reading the Law on the Termination of Enforced Property Division in Privatised Multi‑apartment Houses. The Law sets out the procedure for starting and implementing the process of establishing a single property in case of enforced property division where the multi‑apartment house with privatised apartments is located on the land owned by another person.

“Latvia highly appreciates the significant contribution of Italy to the NATO battlegroup in Latvia. Your participation strengthens the security of the Baltic region,” said Deputy Speaker of the Saeima, Head of the Latvian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Inese Lībiņa‑Egnere on Wednesday, 24 November, in Rome, during her meeting with Senator Isabella Rauti, who is also the Chair of the group for promoting parliamentary cooperation between Italy and the Baltic states.

The aggressive actions of the illegitimate Alexander Lukashenko regime have reached an unprecedented level. They provoke the crisis at the external borders of the EU, threaten the security of the entire region and deliberately endanger the lives of vulnerable people. It constitutes a breach of international law, political commitments and a disregard for fundamental human rights. This is expressed by Ināra Mūrniece, Speaker of the Saeima, Jüri Ratas, President of the Riigikogu of the Republic of Estonia, Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, Speaker of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania, and Elżbieta Witek, Marshal of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, in a joint statement issued on Tuesday, 23 November.

History shows that trust in the Latvian state and its people and supporting one another for the sake of a greater objective has consistently helped us overcome the most difficult of times.  This belief and faith have never failed us. It has given us wisdom, foresight, and passion that we have used whenever we faced a decisive moment, said Ināra Mūrniece, Speaker of the Saeima, at the ceremonial sitting of the Saeima in honour of the 103rd anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Latvia held on Thursday, 18 November.
