Vēstule no visu ziemeļvalstu parlamentu vadītājiem
Pirms to birokrātiju sākt mazināt, varbūt to varētu izmērīt? Būtu forši ja Panorāmā apspriestu “birokrātijas indeksu” vai ko tamlīdzīgu, salīdzinātu ar citām valstīm, ķidātu metodoloģiju, utt - tā vietā lai tikai atkārtotu to “samazināt” mantru
Valsts pārvalde izsmēlusi idejas, kā mazināt birokrātiju, tāpēc izskanējis priekšlikums šim darbam piesaistīt neatkarīgu vadītāju ar komandu. Viens no kandidātiem minēts uzņēmēju pārstāvis Jānis Endziņš, kurš šādu piedāvājumu apsvērtu, ja tāds tiešām būtu.

Vladyslav, a soldier from Donetsk, survived a slit throat after Russians dumped him in a pit with other captives. Cutting his ropes with glass and bandaging his neck, he crawled for five days to Ukrainian positions.

Ļoti interesants Politico raksts par to, kā Polija uz austrumu robežas jau atjauno savus purvus un Somija taisās to darīt AIZSARDZĪBAS vajadzībām. Arī Lietuva šo apsver. Lieliski klimatam un lieliski kā prettanku aizsardzība. www.politico.eu/article/russ...

Nākamais, kas mani interesē, no kurienes pašvaldības policijai būs resursi plašiem reidiem? Cik tas izmaksās, vai arī ko viņi nedarīs tajā laikā, kamēr pārbaudīs uz ielas dokumentus? Varbūt tas, ko viņi nedarīs, ir lieka funkcija un ir pamats runāt par resursu ietaupīšanu?

Don’t turn this platform into another twitter where Ukrainians get banned/shadow banned for sharing local news or “being mean to” russians - a group that’s actively trying to wipe us all out.
