• Riga Court of Kurzeme District suspended the activity of the political party “For Native Language”

The Riga Court of Kurzeme District satisfied the claim of the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau to suspend the activity of the political party “For Native Language”, as it has not submitted its annual reports. One of the party’s leaders Vladimirs Lindermans stated that the party will continue its activities unofficially. As reported, the party was established in 2012 with an objective to achieve equality through granting Latvian citizenship to all non-citizens, granting Russian language the status of a state language and preservation of national minority schools.
