• Latgalian activists are sceptical about the Prime Ministers decree to establish a working group on Latgalian language

Chas reports that Latgalian activists are sceptical about the Prime Ministers decree to establish a working group which would elaborate proposals on granting specific status to Latgalian language. According to one of the activists Juris Vilums, Latgalians only asked the Prime Minister to include in the national census a question about how many people speak Latglian as native language. Mr. Vilums believes that Latgalians have historical right to self-government and the right to make its own decisions regarding language, education and religion.
