The Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration Ainars Latkovskis in an interview with Latvijas Avize stated that Latvias integration policy is based on several key principles, including that national minorities not only have rights, but also obligations towards the country they live.

The political party Motherland asked the Minister of Justice Solvita Aboltina and the Enterprise Register not to register the newly established party “All for Latvia”, because of its radical views. “Motherland” is convinced that if the party “All for Latvia” is elected in the Parliament, it would be disobedient to the Constitution of Latvia, democratic principles and human rights. The party Concord Center stated that the position of “All for Latvia” is in breach with human rights and moral values. “Provocations of radicals can only stimulate ethnic hatred, and it would not solve anybody’s problems in Latvia,” stated the Concord Center.

Latvia is a beneficiary in this situation. But colleagues from right-wing parties consider it as an offence… and arena for propagandistic war, said Boris Cilevich.
