• Congress of Ukrainians in Latvia asks the Minister of Justice to ban political party the Union of Russians in Latvia
• Latvijas Avize: deputies of all Saeima’s factions believes a study about the mood of Russian speaking residents in Latvia should be publicly available

One of the Ukrainian NGOs in Latvia - the Congress of Ukrainians in Latvia appealed to the Minister of Justice Baiba Broka, asking to ban political party the Union of Russians in Latvia. The Congress of Ukrainians alleges that the leader of the Union of Russians in Latvia Tatjana Zdanoka committed several activities against independence of Latvian state.

According to Latvijas Avize, deputies of all Saeima’s factions believes that results of a study about the mood of Russian speaking residents in Latvia commissioned by the government should be publicly available. Newspapers reported that the government commissioned a secret study and may not publish all its results arguing that it is related to state security. In an interview with the newspaper, head of the Saeima’s National Security Committee Valdis Zatlers (Reforms Party) who took part in the government’s session which took the decision to commission the study, denies that it was categorised as "secret"; however, Mr Zatlers also does not say who will conduct the study and how much will it cost. The MP Karlis Serzants (Union of Greens and Farmers) says that there is no reason to make such study a secret because it would raise tension in the society and doubt the results. The MP Janis Dombrava (nationalists’ union) assumes that the government is afraid that the results of the study may reveal unpleasant truth about disloyal residents and therefore wants to keep the study secret.
