Latvian Saeima turns Nationalists’ repeat proposal to suspend issuing residence permits to Russians

BC, Riga, 18.09.2014.Print version
Today Saeima turned down amendments to the Immigration Law repeatedly proposed by All for Latvia! - For Fatherland and Freedom/LNNK (VL-TB/LNNK), stipulating that in order to prevent threat to national security, the government must suspend issuing residence permits to Russian citizens, informs LETA.

VL-TB/LNNK believes that a person who, according to the Immigration Law, acquires a residence permit in Latvia, at the same time obtains a certain economic influence over the country, and a chance to affect the current political and social processes in Latvia, as well as the opportunity to influence the circulation of public information.

 

Saeima rejected a similar motion by VL-TB/LNNK one week ago.
