In an interview with Latvijas Avize, head of the political party For Fatherland and Freedom/LNIM Roberts Zile has stated his worry that Russian parties could come to power in Riga. State power should be in the hands of those political parties that are elected by voters loyal to Latvia, and according to Mr.Zile, the Concord Centre is not among such parties. Mr.Zile believes that all ethnic Latvian parties should unite, because divisions will bring gains to the Concord Centre and its allies.

My opinion these money will be wasted the same way as the money previously granted for society integration in Latvia.There are simply no any improvement and even indication of goverment will to integrate society.Talking about people-non EU sitizens to return to their home contries ERF should be aware that major part of these non-EU sitizens are people without any other homeland but Latvia,because they were born in Latvia and have no other homeland.Simple like this.These people were not granted sitizenship of Latvia and therefore they are not sitizens of EU just because they are not Letts.
