Latvijas Avize reports about a court hearing on a case of ex-deputy of the Liepaja City Council and presently MP Valerijs Kravcovs, who objects to the fine imposed on him by the State Language Centre for insufficient state language proficiency while being a municipal deputy. As reported, the SLC punished Mr. Kravcovs in 2009. According to the Mr. Kravcovs lawyer, legal acts regulating state language usage contradict each other.
