  • Jewish Community of Latvia discussed with the Reforms Party restitution of Jewish properties
  • The most popular parties -  the Concord Centre and the Unity

The Jewish Community of Latvia held a meeting with MPs of the Reforms Party discussing restitution of Jewish properties. According to a representative of the Community, properties built by the Jewish community and lost because of the Holocaust should be compensated by money or other properties. The Jewish Community does not want division of the properties because those are possessed by other persons trough privatisation or other ways. But still it is honest to ask for compensation for lost properties. As reported, the issue on restitution has stuck in the government for years. Vesti Segodnya, Latvijas Avize

According to the latest public opinion survey conducted by Latvijas fakti, the most popular parties were the Concord Centre – supported by 20,5% of respondents and the Unity – 15,1%  in Latvia in September.
