  • Vladimirs Lindermans: draft amendments to the Citizenship Law are nonsense

According to Telegraf, the draft amendments to the Citizenship Law stipulating that granting of Latvian citizenship might be refused to persons who endanger state and society security, democratic constitutional order, state’s independence and territorial integrity most likely got elaborated specially with an aim to prevent granting of citizenship to leaders of the party “For Native Language” Vladimirs Lindermans and Jevgenijs Osipovs. The evaluation on whether an applicant for citizenship endangers the state should be given by the security services. Mr Lindermans believes that such amendments are nonsense because only court can decide whether the person in guilty or not. And if there is no such ruling actions made by person cannot be considered as unlawful.
