Latvijas Avize prints an interview with a member of the nationalists party All for Latvia! Janis Dombrava elected in the new Saeima. According to Mr. Dombrava, the government should elaborate mechanism which would promote resettlement of those residents who are dissatisfied with Latvia and are living in other informative space to other countries where they could fill better. Janis Dombrava also believes that emigration of young people from Latvia could be hindered by patriotic education in schools so that wage factor would not be primary for people.
