• Tatjana Zdanoka and Josifs Korens allege the head of Security Police Normunds Mezvietis is lying
• Media expert Sergejs Kruks: it is unclear what the government means by "media coordination", "media supervision" or "information space" 

The head of Security Police Normunds Mezvietis in an interview with Latvian Television programme "Morning Panorama" stated that an NGO established by the MP from Latvia Tatjana Zdanoka and the coordinator of movement "Latvia without Nazism" Josifs Korens received EUR 25,000 from Russia’s "Foundation for the support and protection of rights of compatriots living abroad" in order to organise activities concerning 16 March (unofficial commemoration day of Latvian Waffen SS legionaries). Tatjana Zdanoka denied the NGO received this funding and Josifs Korens commented that Mr Mezvietis is lying. According to Mr Korens, they indeed considered a possibility to organise a conference in Riga concerning 16 March and to submit application for funding to the said Foundation, yet eventually declined this idea. Mr Korens believes the statement of Mr Mezvietis is also an evidence of total surveillance of their conversations and of the content of their computers. Mr Korens called upon Mr Mezvietis to stop lying. Diena, Latvijas Avize, Vesti Segodnya 

Neatkariga interviews Riga Stradins University professor, mass media expert Sergejs Kruks. Mr. Kruks points out that it is unclear what the government means by "media coordination", "media supervision" or "information space". He believes there are two contradicting suggestions regarding communication with national minorities: to establish a Russian TV channel and the advice to politicians not to speak in Russian. According to Mr. Kruks, the reason why national minorities show little interest in Latvian-speaking mass media is that these media do not speak about the problems topical for minorities and if a representative of national minority expresses unpleasant things in good Latvian, she is considered "unintegrated". He also believes mass media in Latvia reflect political culture of the elite and make its assessment within the agenda set by the government. Journalists are dependent on the "discourse of the bureaucracy" and the media is reproducing flashy slogans produced by someone else such as "Russians are coming!", "Latvia is a success story", or the most recent "Information war".
