  • Survey: 90% of respondents do not support influx of foreign labour force to Latvia

According to the latest survey “DnB NORD Latvian Barometer”, 47% of Latvian residents are ready to leave the country in search for job abroad, including 16% who would leave with family members. At the same, time 90% of respondents do not support influx of foreign labour force to Latvia. Vesti Segodnya

Russian NGOs which organise celebrations of Victory Day on 9 May in Latvia are planning to start events on 8 May and to attract to celebrations ethnic Latvian young people. According to a representative of the movement of Russian compatriots in Latvia, 65th anniversary of the end of the WWII should be celebrated two days in order not to split Latvian society on those who celebrate it on 8 May – official commemoration day in Latvia – and on those who do it on 9 May – official Victory Day in Russia.
