• Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis: the government has to engage in dialogue with its entire people

Chas prints extensive interview with the Prime Minister of Latvia Valdis Dombrovskis, mostly about the general situation in the country and the efforts of the government regarding economic crisis. According to Mr.Dombrovskis, the government now gradually restructures its work, moving away from a crisis management to ensure stable and long-term development. Regarding the recent referendum on the status of Russian language, Mr.Dombrovskis believes that a problem cannot be solved by labelling those who supported Russian as betrayers, the fifths column or the hand of Moscow. The government has to engage in dialogue with its entire people and currently there are 148 proposals from different ministries. In particular, Mr.Dombrovskis highlights development of single information space, conducting explanatory work about the fundamentals of the Latvian state and searching for funding for Latvian language learning for representatives of national minorities.
