In my movie you’ll play the main part

Dienas Nakts Sakari: Par brīvības ierobežojošo dabu
Pirmkārt, visus apsveicu ar to, ka mūsu valsts joprojām ir brīva.
Pirms 22 gadiem Latvijas Republika atguva neatkarību un mēs atguvām ticību, ka varam būt saimnieki savā Latvijā. Ieguvām teikšanu pār savu zemīti, skolām, likumiem, veselības aprūpi, mākslu, ražošanu un masu informācijas…
nav ko slieties dižā stājā
nav ko lepnus vārdus dvest
jo tāpat nemaz nav viegli
ikdienišķi galvu nest
neraudāt par to kas bijis
nebīties par to kas rīt
tikai saudzīgi un droši
savu vagu taisnu dzīt
- Knuts Skujenieks
SAKI PALDIES. (Say “Thank you!”)
One of my favorite songs: “13.janvāris” (13th of January) by Prāta vētra (Brainstorm).
The lyrics never get old and hit too close to home every time I listen to the song…
Ja Tu būtu mēness, Es dotu visu, lai varētu lidot. Tomēr Tu augstāk kā es...
Vote on language issue set Feb. 18
A national referendum on whether Russian should become Latvia’s second official language is set for Feb. 18, the Central Election Commission announced Jan. 3 in Rīga.
The referendum will decide whether proposed legislation to amend the constitution will be adopted. The legislation would change five sections in the constitution, including Paragraph 4, which sets Latvian as the sole official language.
At least half of all eligible voters, or nearly 772,000 citizens, would need to vote in favor of the referendum question for it to pass, according to Latvian law.
Many political observers have commented that the referendum has little chance of passing, but the fact that the language issue has come this far has sharpened discord between ethnic Latvians and ethnic Russians in Latvia. Both President Andris Bērziņš and Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis in their New Year’s messages to the nation reiterated the centrality of the Latvian language.
