Description

While Krišjānis Kariņš has resigned from the post of foreign minister after mounting criticism over his use of private jets while prime minister and the announcement of criminal proceedings for those involved with arranging them, Mayor of Jelgava District Madars Lasmanis hangs onto his position despite a widely spread video of seemingly indecent behavior during an online meeting led from his state-provided car. Otto and Joe meet to discuss these issues and a number of others including a dangerous 240 kph joyride though Tinuži, the moving ahead of new restrictions on alcohol, difficult times for rapeseed farmers, major steps forward in Latvia's defense sector, and much more!
