Weekly magazine

Weekly magazine Nedela prints opinions of several politicians and lawyers on the draft law on granting LVL 32000 000 (EUR 45 531897) to the Jewish Community of Latvia as a compensation for lost properties during the Holocaust. The MP Andrejs Klementjevs (The Concord Centre) believes that the draft law is compensation to victims of war therefore it has to be supported. The lawyer Aivars Borovkovs has criticized the draft law and stated that it lacks legal argumentation, is provoking controversy and is insufficiently prepared.
