  • Draft amendments envisage municipal deputies may be deprived of mandate if fail to improve language skills
Yesterday, the Saeima approved in the first reading amendments to the law on the status of municipal deputies. Amendments envisage that deputies that don’t have certain level of Latvian language proficiency will have to improve their proficiency and their training will be paid by municipality. If a deputy fails to attest the required level within half a year, the State Language Centre will be able to request a regional court to annul the deputy’s mandate.
