TOP NEWS * Latvian Centre for Human Rights (Latvia)

Belgium newspaper La Libre Belgique published a critical article about Latvia honouring former Latvian Waffen SS legionnaires

Telegraf: merger of the Naturalisation Board and the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs might slow down naturalisation and have other more negative consequences

Latvijas Avize prints an article about movement of Russia’s compatriots in Latvia

State Language Centre punished several deputies of Daugavpils and Rezekne City Councils for insufficient state language proficiency

Vesti Segodnya reports that Belgium newspaper La Libre Belgique published a critical article about Latvia honouring former Latvian Waffen SS legionnaires. Reporter of the Belgium newspaper visited three Latvian museums – Museum of Occupation, Museum of War, and Museum of History of Latvian Jews. According to Vesti Segodnya, the reporter was shocked by the level of involvement in the Nazi war machine and stated that respectful attitude towards those who directly or indirectly contributed to mass extermination of Jews, prisoners of war and civil population should not be permissible in the European society.

According to the Telegraf, merger of the Naturalisation Board (NB) and the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (OCMA) might slow down naturalisation and have other more negative consequences. According to a representative of the NB, officials of the NB do not have clear picture about the merger because it happens very hastily and secretly. The representative believes that the merger is not well justified because in the end the state will save only LVL 100,000 (EUR 142,287) and there is no confidence about the OCMA’s ability to implement the functions of the Naturalisation Board

Latvijas Avize prints an article about movement of Russia’s compatriots in Latvia. According to the newspaper, the movement propagates anti-governmental ideas and it is sponsored by Russia and possibly managed by Russian special services. Head of the Eastern European Policy Research Centre considers that the movement becomes better organised and managed and uses new tactics trying to find among representatives of ethnic Latvian intelligentsia those who share their ideas such as granting non-citizens voting rights.

The State Language Centre punished several deputies of Daugavpils and Rezekne City Councils for insufficient state language proficiency. The deputies are fined with LVL 25 – 50 (EUR 36 – 71) and given five months to improve their language proficiency. Diena
