Pliners wishes to show the Latvian and EU leadership that ''the Latvian people strive for favorable neighborly relations with Russia, without a provoked trade war, which is against the interests of the people of these two countries''.
Pliners, who is also running in the upcoming Saeima elections, believes that the Foreign Ministry's actions are most likely in accordance with Unity's pre-election interests, but are not in the interests of the Latvian people, as well as stable economic and cultural links between Latvia and Russia.
