Raymond Vejonis. From the chair of the Minister of Defense of Latvia to the chair of the President

48
In the Latvian Sejm, voting on the candidacy of the president was completed. The newly elected president of the country was the automatically resigned Minister of Defense of the country Raymond Vejonis. 55 people out of a hundred voted for him. It is noteworthy that the Latvian Diet needed five (!) Voting rounds for the presidential election. Even Ukraine with its three rounds during the presidential election of Viktor Yushchenko has been left far behind ... However, there is an important difference: in Latvia the constitution does not prohibit the Saeima from voting on the presidential nomination many times - one candidate must get more than 50% of votes.

Despite the fact that Vejonis demonstrated a fairly tough position as the Minister of Defense of Latvia, advocating the deployment of the American military contingent and the so-called rapid reaction force in the country, Veyonis in Latvia is considered a moderate politician. It is possible that the Latvians judge his “moderation” on the basis of the fact that in his speeches Vejonis could afford to switch to Russian. The fact is that Raymond Veyonis was born in the Pskov region of the RSFSR (born 15 on June 1966 of the year). Mother Veyonisa nationality Russian.

By education, Vejonis is a biologist, but this did not prevent him from being the head of the Latvian military department after he held the position of Minister of the Environment and Territorial (Regional) Development. Given the succession of various positions in the government of Latvia, Vejonis can be considered the most diverse politician in the country.

Raymond Vejonis. From the chair of the Minister of Defense of Latvia to the chair of the President


It should be noted that the president in Latvia is not the main figure, as the country is a parliamentary republic.

    I am writing offtopic, but I can not wait for the relevant news. The Armed Forces of Novorossiya took Marinka, the formation of a new boiler is possible, the Ukrovermacht officially returns heavy weapons, Matvienko asks the Federation Council members to be ready for an unscheduled meeting and not to disperse to the baths and bars. Apparently an asymmetric response to Transnistria, to link the troops of the junta in the east and the end of "Minsk-2". Hopefully with the pushing back of the front to the borders of historical Novorossiya, and even to the English Channel. Fingers crossed.

    In the Latvian Diet voting on the candidacy of the president has ended. The newly made president of the country was automatically resigned as Minister of Defense of the country Raymond Vejonis. 55 out of a hundred people voted for him

    Is this the whole population of Latvia? If not, what did the people do during the vote, why didn’t they take part? And the most important point is that all pro-Western puppets coming to power, for some reason, win with a minimal advantage, by 3-5 by the number of votes, moreover, collected for five voting attempts. On the face of falsification of results and fraud.
