• Ex-deputy of Jurmala City Council Janis Kuzins asks the court to declare invalid municipal elections
• President of Latvia holds a meeting with Forest Brothers

Ex-deputy of Jurmala City Council Janis Kuzins (FHRUL) appealed to the Riga Regional Court and the Constitutional Court asking to declare invalid municipal elections. Mr. Kuzins disputes elections on three positions: the fact that Latvian non-citizens are not allowed to participate in the elections; prohibition for citizens of EU-associated countries to take part in the elections; and the fact that elections were held on Saturday – the day when representatives of some religions cannot vote in the elections. Janis Kuzins wants the case to go to the Court of Justice of European Communities or the European Court for Human Rights.

Today, the President of Latvia Valdis Zatlers holds a meeting with national partisans or so-called Forest Brothers. The President and national partisans will discuss patriotic education and history teaching in schools. The MP Jakovs Pliners (FHRUL) in an interview with Vesti Segodnya stated that such meeting puts shame on Latvia because, in his opinion, Forest Brothers were criminals who combined fighting against supporters of soviet authorities with robbery and terror.
