Vesti Segodnya reports that the Riga City Council factions of the Concord Centre and the For Human Rights in United Latvia held talks about collection of signatures calling for resignation of the City Mayor Janis Birks. Head of the SC faction Mihails Kameneckis considers that the Mayor and his party For Fatherland and Freedom/LNIM should be held accountable for insulting video clip created by the FF/LNIM. As reported, the FF/LNIM created a pre-election video clip which according to the SC projects the image of SC as a party aiming to russify Latvia.
