• Latvian residents support deeper integration in Europe after Brexit
    The president opened the ‘Brexit lesson for Latvia and Europe’ discussion with a speech. In it, the president reminded that state security does not solely consist of military protection and strengthening of borders. «Security also consists of economic development, judicial power, protection of human rights, love of motherland and other factors,» – Vejonis emphasized.

    In the discussion’s introduction, Director of the International Research Centre Gunda Reire said that «Brexit had created a shock moment for Britain and the entire European Union. Now that the dust has settled, it is necessary to analyse all factors that had led to Brexit. We also need to consider that the European identity is now part of Latvian residents – our people expect Latvia to remain in the European Union and become more deeply integrated with it,» – said Reire.
