• Latvijas Avize prints various opinions on a proposal of Latvias First Party to grant non-citizens voting rights in municipal elections
• Nedela prints MPs opinions on a proposal to allow double citizenship for children of Latvian citizens who were born abroad

Latvijas Avize prints various opinions on a proposal of Latvias First Party to grant non-citizens voting rights in municipal elections. Ex-Judge of the Constitutional Court, MP Ilma Cepane believes that this proposal is politically motivated because according to international documents and experience of other countries, the lack of voting rights for non-citizens is not a violation of human rights. Head of the Human Rights Institute of the University of Latvia Arturs Kucs considers that granting voting rights to non-citizens would promote their involvement into political and social life. According to the ex-Chairman of the Constitutional Court Aivars Endzins, if non-citizens were granted voting rights they would lose reasons to naturalise.

Weekly magazine

Weekly magazine Nedela prints MPs opinions on whether they support a proposal to allow double citizenship for children of Latvian citizens who were born abroad. Most of the interviewed MPs support the proposal because it would help to keep connection with Latvians who reside abroad. Karina Petersone (Latvias Way) also supports the proposal and believes that this proposal has to be included into the governmental declaration. Karina Petersone also proposes to allow double citizenship for foreign spouses of Latvian citizens if s/he is citizen of the EU.
