• Telegraf prints an article on possible impact of choices made by recently naturalised citizens on the results of the up-coming Saeima elections
• Anonymous persons have spread anti-political leaflets in Russian against The Concord Centre

Telegraf prints an article on possible impact of choices of recently naturalised citizens on the results of the up-coming Saeima elections. According to the newspaper about 100,000 residents of Latvia have been granted citizenship through naturalisation since 1998. Sociologist Arnis Kaktins states that new citizens are potential voters for left-wing parties which in Latvia are considered Russian-oriented. He also adds that thousands of Latvians or potential voters for right-wing parties have immigrated to more developed EU countries and that may lead to a situation when left-wing parties receive greater proportion of votes. Political scientist Ilze Ostrovska agrees that left-wing parties can receive more votes than expected because new citizens have more motivation to participate in the elections.

Latvijas Avize reports that in Liepaja (town in the Western part of Latvia) anonymous persons claiming to represent Anti-fascistic Union have spread anti-political leaflets in Russian against the political party The Concord Centre. According to the leaflets one of the candidates of the party has cooperated with the leader of the extreme organisation Latvian National Front Aivars Garda in the past.
