• Latvijas Avīze interviews Concord Centre MP candidate

Latvijas Avīze interviewed professor Valdis Bluzma (PhD Hist.), political union Concord Centre candidate in the upcoming parliamentary elections. According to Mr.Bluzma, after 5 August 1940 Latvia was occupied from the legal point of view, and annexed from de-facto point of view. Mr.Bluzma believes that the Concord Centre should stand against two-community division of society, because this threatens state integrity and unity. Latvia should ensure consolidation of society in order for residents of the country to feel loyalty towards the state.
