• Lutheran priest Guntis Kalme likens Soviet-era migrants to the Nazis
• Minister of Education Ina Druviete praises bilingual education in a meeting with foreign colleagues

Vesti Segodnya quotes statements of the Evangelical Lutheran priest Guntis Kalme made in an interview with Latvijas Avize. G. Kalme said that Latvia is asked "to integrate into the society the occupants and their descendants. Would anyone express similar proposal to the Israeli Jews – that they should integrate the Nazis?" Mr. Kalme acts as a spiritual leader of the congregation of former Latvian Waffen-SS legionnaires and politically repressed persons.

According to Vesti Segodnya, the Minister of Education Ina Druviete met with representatives of Georgia and Ukraine stressing the importance of bilingual education and Latvia’s successful practice. The Minister said that the bilingual education deepens the level of knowledge allowing students to develop their native language, culture and traditions.
