Liveblogging: The Great Debate
Tomorrow, Latvia’s 100-member parliament will debate whether to put a temporary nail into the coffin of the border dispute between Russia and Latvia. The MPs will debate whether they should authorize the Aigars Kalvitis government to sign the border treaty with Russia.
It’s an important discussion not only for Latvia, but also for the Eastern border of the European Union. In fact, Latvian State Television decided to preempt its regularly scheduled programming to broadcast the debate live. Latvian National Radio will broadcast the Saeima session as it normally does.
We plan to liveblog the debate in the Saeima, which will begin at 0930 EET (0730 GMT, 2:30 a.m. EST) Thursday and we’d like you to join in the discussion be it through Skype or by filling out the contact form.
