  • For Fatherland and Freedom/LNIM might propose government to liquidate the Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration
  • Russian compatriots from Latvia and Estonia ask Russian President to cancel visa requirements to enter Russia

Latvijas Avize reports that the political party For Fatherland and Freedom/LNIM might propose government to liquidate the Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration for the sake of saving state funds. The Special Assignment Minister for Social Integration Oskars Kastens has criticized the proposal and stated that the State Language Centre also might be liquidated as cost-cutting measure. Oskars Kastens believes that the Integration Secretariat will be especially important in the future due to the growing influx of guest workers.

Chas reports that Russian citizens and non-citizens who live in Latvia and Estonia have sent an appeal to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin complaining about financial difficulties and asking to abolish visa requirements for Russian compatriots entering Russia.
