Chas prints two articles with arguments why Russian speaking residents of Latvia should or should not take part in a demonstration For Law-Governed State! For Honest Policy! which is planned to be held on 3 November in Riga. The aim of the demonstration is to show the government that Latvian residents disagree with its present course. Author of one article - a member of the political party For Human Rights in United Latvia Aleksandrs Gilmans, - considers that Russian speakers should not take part in the demonstration because the government will not take into account problems and needs of ethnic minorities anyway. Author of another article - the head of the NGO Humanitarian Perspective Elizabete Krivcova, - considers that Russians and other ethnic minorities must take part in the demonstration to show that they are interested in building dialogue with ethnic Latvians to discuss principles of possible co-existence and co-operation. Ms. Krivcova believes that by participating in the demonstration ethnic minorities can show that they are involved in political life and that their interests must be taken into account.
