• MPs discussed Latvia’s actions in case of large influx of immigrants to the country

Yesterday, the Saeima’s Defence, Internal Affairs and Corruption Prevention Committee discussed Latvia’s actions in case of large influx of immigrants to the country.  State officials from the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs and the Ministry of Interior invited to the meeting denied the assertion that Latvia has agreed secretly to accept large influx of asylum seekers. At present, according to the state officials, the country has capacity to accept not more than 600 immigrants a year. Chas, Vesti Segodnya
