We founded the relationship with the Chinese Embassy / Day

Tomsone said she had a good collaboration with the Chinese Embassy in person because she lived in Germany for eight years, where she had a good relationship with the Chinese. Tomsone said she had contacts with German, Swedish and Chinese embassies.

Last year, the Chinese Embassy staff were invited and participated in the Pensioners’ Intermediate Sports Day. Her intention was to organize International Day in Talsi, but it has not come true.

« Why don’t we cooperate? » The former head of the Society commented on the situation with a rhetorical question. She wore parallels with the Latvian Pensioners’ Federation cooperation with Lithuania and Estonia, whose representatives were visiting, but no one has ever had questions about lunch in their neighborhood.

Tomsone said tours to Riga for transport services. Members of the Saeima organize visits to the Saeima, paying for the museum, visiting the exhibitions themselves. Last year, information about a free lunch at a Chinese restaurant from the Chinese Embassy came at the last minute. « Did I have to say we wouldn’t eat lunch? Well no. They advertised their food and paid for it. What’s wrong? » Tomsone was puzzled.

According to Tomsone, she has known Ramon Petravič, a member of the LPV Saeima since 2019 in connection with the Senior Senior Senior Senior Nursing Home. For anyone who was helping the Talsi Pensioners’ Society, there was a gratitude party at Christmas, and Petravich had attended it. The Society does not choose their friends on party affiliation, but in friends with those who are interested in them.

According to TV3’s « Nothing Personal », the KNAB will begin an investigation into the LPV possible unauthorized adoption of the Embassy in Latvia in Latvia, as Ms. Petraviča has used the financial support of the Chinese Embassy to provide Kurzeme seniors excursions to Riga. This will be the first examination of the KNAB against a party on suspicion of accepting foreign aid.

Petravic has denied the broadcast that the law on financing political organizations (parties) had been violated, as retirees themselves cooperate with the Chinese Embassy and decide whether to adopt from that lunch in a Chinese restaurant.

However, the evidence obtained by « Nothing Personal » indicates that such excursions to the Saeima and meals in the Chinese restaurant took place at least six times and were organized by the party.

The National Security Service (VDD) is also aware of the cooperation of the Chinese Embassy in Latvia with the LPV and Kurzeme Senior Societies. The VDD also points out that this type of cooperation is one of China’s gentle power tools to establish new contacts and strengthen its position in Latvia. The purpose of such activities is to distribute Chinese public messages to the public in society and to promote the interests of China in Latvia.
