Ex-Foreign Minister Artis Pabriks a possible involvement of Latvia's young radical nationalists in the new government worried. In a joint list with the "veteran" Tevzemei un brivibai "(For Fatherland and Freedom - TB), especially some young nationalists of the" Visu Latvijai "(" Everything for Latvia "- VL) in Parliament" has been purged. " Pabriks apparently feared from them, they could still Russians "back home" want to deport or to force the government to once again debates SS-old fighter -. in accordance with the already published comments of the VL for years activists As well as a founding member of the "Vienotiba" which then "Pilsoniskās savienība ( PS was formed), the "Jaunais Laiks" (JL) and the " sabiedrība citai Politikai (SCP), laid the SCP and Pabriks even vetoed the inclusion of the extreme nationalist-oriented parties. Ģirts Valdis Kristovskis, now head of the PS, was himself once an ex-member Tevzemei Verteidigungsminster and is the self-appointed defenders of their country so nearer than his colleague Pabriks.
said Pabriks same time publicly expressed the hope that in Latvia in the future, once a government without the newly rich "oligarchs" could be formed - this was apparently too much for the internal peace in "Vienotiba. instead to reinforce the powers of the former Foreign Minister and former Defense Minister Pabriks Kristovskis, Prime Minister Dombrovskis rehearsing now apparently castling. While Pabriks will the Latvians have to explain what actually Latvian soldiers in international missions such Kristovskis is that sometimes even "military discipline" for the Riga City Council, called for now Außenminster. Whether the loss of image here corrected, or the seeds of new embarrassment was set, it is remains to be seen.

Because of this week, newly released " corruption index " of " Transparency International (TI) to provide the Latvian journalist Karlis Streips and is also in the "Topics €" quoted: "This is a bad value and also less than a year ago .... was it bribery scandals with us a lot but what was the reaction of politicians among us..? said no. This is the rating by Transparency International in Latvia a shame and all the more when we consider that Estonia has long passed by us.

Whether which, however, it is - like " Respublika writes that during the economic crisis less money because i st, and (it translates as" € Topics ")" where there are fewer people and less money there, may be less flow into the wrong pockets, "but there may be a question mark to be set. The opposite conclusion could mean, Lithuanians and Latvians, would come with their own prosperity is not clear ...
worry about a too-Soviet-style image of Latvia makes the portal " Finance.net ", and refers to " Travelart . lv. Why the English language " Best in Travel - Yearbook 2011 " is from the series " Lonely Planet ", in which Latvia Although happen, but recommendations were made to places of interest only in the direction of special Soviet-romance: the ex-Soviet prison in Karosta / Liepaja, or the ex-Soviet bunker in Līgatne.
are not quite sure they Latvian Tourism seller, however, whether it is a sign of quality if the neighbors Estonia and Lithuania appear in the top list at all this time. Public Employment Service
worried about Latvia's image in Europe is becoming the portal " Delfi.lv . Also in Latvia appears at the same bliebend high unemployment now break out the discussion about whether people without jobs are willing to work at all. The "1-euro jobs" hot in Latvia adequately "100-Lat-jobs". Supported by the European Social Fund here -Time Jobs Land offered for unemployed .
