lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Latvia’s liberal law has allowed anyone to testify to their loyalty to the Latvian state and Western democratic values. As a result, since 1993, the number of non-citizens has fallen by 59%. The majority of Latvia’s businesses belong to Russian entrepreneurs. These are arguments that permit us to reject the complaints against the Latvian state. Additionally, it is worth pointing out the fact that there are people living in Latvia who, as members of the Interfront group, fought against Latvia’s independence, called for the preservation of the evil empire that was the USSR, still deny the fact of Latvia’s occupation, still excuse Soviet totalitarian crimes in the Baltic states, and voted against Latvia’s membership of the European Union and NATO. It is possible that these convictions on their part are a significant obstacle to any wish to acquire Latvian citizenship. Let us not therefore prevent them from living in their world of past values!"@en1
