Yesterday, MP Valerijs Agesins (Concord Centre) appealed to the Security Police asking to initiate criminal procedures against a board member of the nationalists union All for Latvia! / For Fatherland and Freedom/LNIM Janis Iesalnieks for his comments about tragic events in Norway. As reported, Janis Iesalnieks in his Twitter forum stated that multiculturalists should feel guilty for the massacre because their policy of islamisation led to insanity of the attacker. Mr Agesins considers that such statement is incitement to ethnic hatred. Vesti Segodnya, Chas, Diena

Chas prints an interview with the head of an NGO Union of Citizens and Non-citizens Vladimirs Sokolovs about initiative called Movement 2013 aimed at granting non-citizens voting rights in local election in 2013. According to Mr. Sokolovs, the main task of the movement is to involve non-citizens in the public life by giving them voting rights in local elections and it will not insist on granting other rights. Mr. Sokolovs believes that a choice whether to become a full fledged citizen of Latvia should be a moment of self-determination of every person.
