Print version |
|---|
The legislation proposes returning five sites in Latvia to the Council of Jewish Communities of Latvia – a former Jewish school at 2 Abrenes Street in Riga, former Jewish religious school at 12 Ernesta Birznieka-Upisa Street in Riga, former Jewish nursing home at 25 Ludzas Street in Riga, former synagogue at 13 Klavu Street in Jurmala, and another former synagogue at 31 Liela Street in Kandava, writes LETA.
The said properties are to be returned in order to mitigate the injustice Latvia's Jewish communities suffered during World War II.
Four bills were submitted by MPs Ojars Eriks Kalnins (Unity), Atis Lejins (Unity), Artis Rasmanis (Greens/Farmers), Solvita Aboltina (Unity), and Lolita Cigane (Unity). One bill has been signed by MP Rihards Kols (All For Latvia-For Fatherland And Freedom/LNNK).
Saeima could begin to review the legislation on January 29, Saeima Foreign Affairs Council Chairman Kalnins informed LETA.
