Latvian Prime Minister Indulis Emsis has described the movement to protect Russian schools as hostile to national interests.
He also warned that if the security police find out the sources of financing for the headquarters of the forces, they may use this information after the mass protests against the school reform slated for the beginning of the academic year.
"We will use this information depending on how these forces hostile to Latvia end up acting. We will tolerate everything until September 1. For right now, it is important to get through September 1 so that children will be in school and everything will be calm," Emsis told BNS.
He said his Cabinet and law enforcers have enough information to keep the protests calm and free from incidents.
Emsis said his Cabinet attaches great significant to the protests and holds weekly meetings with a special working group to consider related matters.
"Unfortunately, there are forces that dislike peace and stability in Latvia, that want to undermine calm and tolerance in Latvia. We know who they are, what their objectives are and how to fight them," he said.
