Latgale weekly roundup: empty fridges at children's home, fuel price question and gambling hall case
LSM's Latgale desk's weekly roundup highlights three main stories — an ombudsman finding empty refrigerators at a children's home, the question of whether fuel prices could fall, and an upcoming Constitutional Court case on gambling hall restrictions in Daugavpils.
LSM's Latgale editorial desk has compiled its weekly overview of the region's key events, featuring three main topics.
Empty refrigerators found at a children's home
Latvia's ombudsman, while inspecting a children's home in Latgale, found that the institution's refrigerators were empty. This finding stands out as one of the week's notable developments in the region, drawing attention to conditions at child-care institutions in Latgale.
Could fuel become cheaper?
The roundup also addresses whether there is any chance that fuel prices could decrease. This topic is relevant to the wider public, since fuel costs directly affect households' everyday budgets, including in the Latgale region.
Constitutional Court to review gambling hall restrictions in Daugavpils
Latvia's Constitutional Court is set to hear a case concerning restrictions placed on gambling halls in Daugavpils. The outcome of the case could affect how municipalities are able to regulate the gambling industry within their territory going forward.
These stories were gathered as part of the Latgale desk's regular weekly summary of the region's most relevant current events.
