• Saeima has adopted the Preamble to the Constitution of Latvia in the final reading

Yesterday, the Saeima has adopted the Introduction or Preamble to the Constitution of Latvia in the final reading. The Preamble was not supported only by the oppositional faction of the Concord Centre whose members believe that it is a step towards deepening of ethnic split in the society. The Preamble says that establishment of Latvian state was based upon the irrevocable will of the ethnic Latvian nation in order to guarantee existence and development of Latvian nation language, and culture through centuries.
