Next week the Cabinet of Ministers will review draft amendments to the Citizenship Law. Vesti Segodnya states that the inclusion of the loyalty criteria will politicise naturalisation because that would allow politicians to choose who is entitled to naturalisation and who is not.

Yesterday the Headquarters for the Defence of Russian-language Schools held a press conference to report about the youth summer camp which took place in Luznava (the parish in the Eastern part of Latvia). Although the main goal of the organisers of the press conference was to focus on ‘illegitimate activities of the State Security Police,’ journalists were more interested in their comments on the advertisement clips about the summer camp. The clips are rather aggressive and even include the scenes of violence against minors.
