Diena prints an article about plans on reorganisation of the Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration. Experts interviewed by the newspaper consider that transfer of the Secretariat’s functions to the Family and Children Affairs Ministry is not rational but political decision because both institutions are managed by the Latvia’s First Party/Latvia’s Way. Politicians interviewed by the newspaper also agree to such assertion. Diena’s experts believe that it would be more rational to split the Secretariat’s functions among various institutions such as the Ministry of Welfare, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Justice, and the State Chancellery.
