However, dreamed of a few years ago, single Baltic “Entente” cross swords information war with the Russian media space, they finally saw the light and, with the filing of a legally savvy President Egils Growth, decided in order to save money to replace a losing duel with a public ban for forty percent of the population watch TV programs in their native language.
And this June 11, Latvian Saeima approved amendments to the Law on electronic media, providing a sharp reduction in the broadcast of Russian channels. But, keeping scrupulousness in all that concerns personal toilet, parliamentary sissy was instructed to carry out Russophobic limit operators of local cable networks. They must increase in their basic packages, the proportion of broadcasting in the official languages of the European Union to the level of not less than 80 percent. Due to what, asked the opposition? The answer was obvious: of course, due to the reduction of broadcasting in the Russian language.
When talking about the extermination of the spiritual heritage of their own country, the deputies even merciful added to the verdict of the owner of the Riga castle, where two centuries ago so bitingly described the monstrous short-sightedness monkeys wise grandfather Krylov, two languages: Norwegian and Icelandic, which are not part of the protectorate of Brussels.
co-Chairman of the Russian Union of Latvia and a former member of the European Parliament Miroslav Mitrofanov, the question of what is meant by the regular rat race in the Parliament, argues that it would be wrong to assume that the new restrictions only a reflection of the struggle with the Russian state propaganda. Actually, from cable networks channels are squeezed, and the President did not hide it, allegedly, to “strengthen the membership of Latvia to the European cultural space”.
In this appeal, believes Latvian politician, has reappeared primeval racism of Levitra, which followed the German Nazis denies Russian culture belong to Europe. In fact, under the new repression not only of the official Russian channels, but also Russian-language programs have been established in many other countries that carry alternative or politically neutral information.
the New restrictions, said in the leadership of the RSL, are senseless cruelty of the Latvian authorities. They end up hurting the most vulnerable residents with almost two million inhabitants of the country, that is, those who subscribed to a basic package of information to the TV and does not have the ability to use the Internet

And will be ready to ship.to Siswati the population of national minorities to mass failure from the television.
the same position is shared and co-chair of the Latvian Committee on human rights Alexander Kuzmin. He recalled that a year ago, the Organization for security and cooperation in Europe has compiled the best examples of laws on the media and urged them not to restrict the access of national minorities to media from other countries. Unfortunately, he States, on the banks of the river Daugava under the banner of European solidarity once again, there is a policy that is motivated primitive Russophobia.
