Nationalists to petition for all-Latvian education



The nationalist party For Fatherland and Freedom has said it would
begin gathering signatures for a constitutional amendment mandating
that all state-sponsored education be in the Latvian language.



Lawmaker and party member Dzintars Rasnačs told the Latvijas Avize
daily newspaper that the proposed amendment to Article 112 in the
Satversme is simple and will include a phrase that free primary and
secondary education in Latvia will be provided “in the national
language.”
