@didzis_m The high number of Latvia's non-citizens (15% of population) is a long-drawn and thus highly sensitive issue. Easy fix impossible. | |

@didzis_m Easy access to LV citizenship to children of non-citizens (Citizenship law amendments) is a small step in the right direction. | |
|
Mr Di (2012-09-25 10:31:19) |
@DaceAkule It is first and foremost a self-inflicted issue. The keys to solving it are in our own hands. | |

@DaceAkule Easy access is still not in conformity with Convention on the Rights of the Child. Non-citizenship for children = violation of HR | |

@didzis_m We could stop issueing non-citizens' status and really try to understand the diverse opinions on citizenship among LV people. | |

@DaceAkule @didzis_m A bit of patiente dear friends:) Ask @IngmarsCaklais about details, but Dace's proposal is basically in pipes! | |

@VeikoSpolitis @didzis_m Citizenship will be granted to children of non-citizens if 1 parent agrees, promises to teach loyalty and Latvian. | |
|
Mr Di (2012-09-25 11:20:41) |
@DaceAkule @VeikoSpolitis Also that is not in conformity with childrens' right to a nationality from birth. | |
|
Mr Di (2012-09-25 11:25:19) |
@DaceAkule @VeikoSpolitis And why not ask Latvian parents to promise to teach loyalty to their children? Why regard them as superior? ;) | |

@didzis_m @DaceAkule ius loci vs ius sanguins:) we are going to have quasi mixed system in LV due to the legacy on non-citizens | |

@didzis_m @DaceAkule would have been easier if they would have been called permanent residents in 1990's, because prefix NON is nobrainer:) | |
