• Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration  has entrusted elaboration of the guidelines for social integration policy to a public relations company

Diena reports that the Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration (IUMSILS in its Latvian acronym) has entrusted elaboration of the guidelines for social integration policy to a public relations company. Experts interviewed by Diena criticize this decision arguing that elaboration of political documents is one of the main responsibilities and jobs of the IUMSILS’ officials. According to the director of the Latvian Centre for Human Rights Ilze Brands-Kehre, instead of ordering someone to write something in haste, this should be serious and well-grounded document, and its elaboration should involve specific experts.
