The anti-corruption authority is not in the headlines. A letter from the staff is now demanding the dismissal of the Chief Normunds Vilnītis. After the government responded hesitant and wants to call a "conciliation committee", now the two deputy Juta Strike and Alvis Vilks have announced that after six months of the compromise being sought to leave when the boss is not replaced. However, it was expressed by various sides of the suspicion that the employee had signed under pressure from their department head.
Juta Strike was several times in recent years as a candidate for the leadership of the authority in discussion was, to prevail among the delegates occupying that position by choice, never.
This occurs against the backdrop that the coalition list of Latvia's Way / Latvia's First Party and the People's Party has just lost a lawsuit against a decision of the Authority several years ago before the Administrative Court. Both parties had to ninth in the elections failed Saeima 2006 against the rules to cap campaign spending. Instead of the permitted 279 000 lats had been issued more than 700,000. The excessive amount of calls, the anti-corruption agency would have to pay the parties to the Treasury.
explained for a good call Latvia-border coalition list to dispose of this sum, what says that the party has received donations since the elections no single Santims. There is no state funding of political parties in Latvia still does not. But apart from the two parties now claim that they were not legal successor of the two parties occurred in 2006. That's right legally formal in so far as to promote greater transparency in party financing, a recent transfer of all political forces had been called upon for a good Latvia may therefore be regarded as a new political force.
First has appealed for a good Latvia to appeal against the verdict. The court stated, however, that is being waged in this way the sense of transfer of absurdity.
After the elections of 2006, was guided by the Popular Party government at odds with the Anti-Corruption Authority and Prime Minister Kalvitis had its director, Andrejs Loskutovs, want to sell. This was in autumn 2007, the rise of the so-called Umbrella Revolution, when held for the first time since the time of change towards the end of the Soviet Union, mass demonstrations, which the then Government to retreat from his step or finally to resign from office prompted.
A the demands of the Regenschimrrevolution was the dissolution of parliament and new elections. That was only possible on the initiative of the President, had lost a referendum in case of non-his own office. That the election results had come because of violations of the law reached, however, would have resulted in the legal way to be cancellation of the election results are. Had made a decision to the Supreme Court as well. Since this was however until more than two years after the election, which it may have no effect on the European level.
Loskutovs was due to irregularities but discontinued the following year and now sits on the largest government party in Parliament.
