• For Fatherland and Freedom/LNIM-All for Latvia! complains about the Russian language channel TV5 for not inviting its representatives to pre-election discussion programme
• Belorussian community in Latvia celebrated its 20th anniversary

Political union For Fatherland and Freedom/LNIM-All for Latvia! has complained to the National Electronic Mass Media Council (NEMMC) and the State Language Centre (SLC) about channel TV5 for its refusal to allow the representatives of the party to take part in a pre-election discussion programme. According to the FF/LNIM-All for Latvia!, TV5 informed that the representatives of the party are not invited to the programme which is broadcast in Russian as they want to speak in Latvian only. Head of NEMMC Abrams Kleckins and the representative of the SLC Antons Kursitis believe that such TV channels action contradicts the State Language Law and that the NEMMC is planning to start an administrative case against TV5.
