The court forbade the mayor of Riga to speak and write in Russian and in English

On the eve of the mayor of Riga Neil Ushakov said through a social network that the so-called Center of the State Language was going to fine him for being "in the capacity of an official" answering the questions of the Riga youth in Russian. From Nil Ushakov's notes:
You will not believe and, most likely, you will even laugh. But the State Language Center found another reason to try to fine me. Do you know why? I am telling - for the fact that on the Day of Shadows I answered my shadows, who asked questions in Russian, in Russian, and answered. Well, have to argue. Despite all the numerous attempts, the Center for State Language has never been able to fine me.


The court forbade the mayor of Riga to speak and write in Russian and in English


Shadow Day in Latvia is a traditional event in the country, during which schoolchildren can talk directly with government officials. This, according to the plan, should demonstrate to children the peculiarities of working as a civil servant. The "shadows" are the students themselves who come to the official and ask him questions.

After the claims of the State Language Center against the mayor of Riga, the decision of the Vidzeme court of the Latvian capital also revealed itself. According to the Latvian channel LNT, the court ruled that Ushakov be fined for using Russian and English in social networks as part of covering the activities of the civil servant. The amount of the fine was 140 euro.

Ushakov said he intends to appeal this decision. According to him, no court can force him to use in an informal setting the language of communication that is most appropriate in this situation.

          Insanity - a mask, panic fears - a mask for this painstaking work whose purpose is the isolation of Russia, and then the destruction. Language is a means of communication, communication, understanding between peoples, creating a dumb buffer on the borders with Russia, the West is trying to create an atmosphere of alienation, not only at the state level, but also at home, to break the last connections still existing between specific people in these countries and Russia .

            Well, why dive so deep into the pool of conspiracy theology? Everything is much simpler here, making life extremely difficult for the Russian-speaking population. The most interesting thing is that the Latvians are fleeing the country and at such a pace they will soon be left there at all, except for the government!

        Latvians, along with the rest of the Balts, jump, that soon, by a decision of a court, they will be forbidden to call people. Because people, of course, are capable of any stupidity, but when the level of dibilism goes off the scale, then I'm sorry, with a reasonable person, this can not be connected.

      but the experts of the Center for the State Language have precisely established that the mayor continues to think in Russian and only then translates and promotes his thoughts in the state language. we demand once again to grind the mayor for thoughts in the wrong language Yes

    Conventionally, three cripples speak Latvian in the world. Instead of popularizing their language, it has been forcibly planted for the past almost 30 years. And what does planting lead to? Only to active rejection. Latvia in itself is too stunted, it cannot afford to provide Germanization of the subject peoples as Germany itself, but there are many Ponte. This will end with the fact that this "little thing" will remain in the farms, and the cities will switch to the languages ​​of international communication.

    It seems that there is a world championship on the greatest idiocy, which is increasingly involved in different countries. Ukraine and Latvia tirelessly fight for leadership, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland are not far behind. But catching up British, Americans, Swedes and others have already loomed.

    Yes, in Latvia, even police officers and those who were born in the USSR and those poor fellows who were born in "free Latvia" among themselves inside the police stations speak RUSSIAN. Who needs your Chukhland language except for the musty farms where Russian has never been known and incest on incest is continuous.

      It's true. When I’m in Latvia or Lithuania, I speak Russian with almost everyone. It is extremely rare to switch to English, or German. If they show off, like, I don’t speak Russian, I suggest to be more tolerant and speak my native Slovak. Calm down.

    Such a noise was raised due to early municipal elections, the Russian mayor for local Natsiks was like a telegraph pole in the eye. And since the collection of fines is a state language office, it’s normal practice in our Latvian non-state, God forgive me! A bunch of parasites regularly raids shops, schools, firms and other institutions and start to nightmare them. Stsuki are rare and mostly aunts with faces of not great intellect!
