  • Latvijas Avize prints an interview with the Mayor of Riga and the leader of the Concord Centre Nils Usakovs

Latvijas Avize prints an interview with the Mayor of Riga and the leader of the Concord Centre (CC) Nils Usakovs. According to Mr Usakovs, the CC becomes more “ethnic Latvian” as it has new ethnic Latvian members and support of many ethnic Latvian voters. At the same time, Mr Usakovs is against separation of the political parties along ethnic lines – into ethnic Latvian and Russian. Nils Usakovs also says that the CC does not support any ethnic Russian or ethnic Latvian nationalists and believes that nationalists do not work in the interests of the nation but they fight with each other.
