Rosļikovs, Wanted by Authorities, to Run for 15th Saeima on Stability Party List
The political party "Stability" has submitted its candidate lists for the 15th Saeima elections. In the Riga district, Aleksejs Rosļikovs, who is wanted for inciting ethnic hatred, is running as the second candidate.
The political party "Stability" submitted its candidate lists for the 15th Saeima elections to the Central Election Commission (CVK) on Monday. The submission period runs from June 20 to July 5, with elections scheduled for early October.
The list leaders are Svetlana Čulkova, Pāvels Kuzmins, Nataļja Marčenko-Jodko, Ludmila Rjazanova, and Igors Orlovs. In the Riga electoral district, Čulkova is the lead candidate, while Aleksejs Rosļikovs is running with the second number. Rosļikovs, a former Riga City Council deputy, has left for Belarus and is wanted by authorities. He is accused of inciting ethnic hatred. The Riga City Court in the Latgale suburb changed his security measure to detention and issued a wanted notice. Rosļikovs stated that he is in Belarus and failed to appear in court due to fear for his life after receiving telephone threats. He claims the case is politically motivated.
Kuzmins leads the Vidzeme list, and Marčenko-Jodko leads in Latgale. Viktors Pučka, who gave up his Saeima mandate last autumn and was sent for a state language exam, will also run from Latgale. Rjazanova, an employee at Liepāja Special Economic Zone company "Lauma fabrics," leads in Kurzeme, while Orlovs, executive director of SIA "Airons," leads in Zemgale.
Earlier this year, several deputies left the party's Saeima faction, causing its dissolution. Čulkova said the party will continue as four independent deputies. The Riga City Council annulled Rosļikovs' deputy mandate in late May due to his absence from council meetings.
