Rosļikovs to Run in Saeima Elections from 'Stabilitātei' List
Former Riga City Council deputy Aleksejs Rosļikovs, currently in Belarus and wanted for hate speech charges, is on the candidate list of the party 'Stabilitātei' for the 15th Saeima elections.
The political party "Stabilitātei" submitted its candidate lists to the Central Election Commission on Monday for the upcoming 15th Saeima elections. Submission runs until July 5, with elections scheduled for early October.
In the Riga electoral district, the list is led by Čulkova, former head of the party's Saeima faction, while former Riga City Council deputy Aleksejs Rosļikovs is the second candidate. Rosļikovs had his deputy mandate annulled in late May after failing to attend more than half of council meetings over three months. He is currently in Belarus, where he fled citing death threats, and a Latvian court has ordered his detention and placed him on a wanted list. He is charged with inciting national and ethnic hatred, which he claims is a political order.
In Vidzeme, the list is headed by Kuzmins, an assistant to deputy Čulkova. In Latgale, MP Marčenko-Jodko leads, joined by Viktors Pučka, who resigned his mandate last autumn and was previously sent for a state language exam. In Kurzeme, the list is led by Rjazanova, an employee of Liepāja Special Economic Zone's SIA "Lauma fabrics". In Zemgale, the leader is Orlovs, executive director of SIA "Airons".
Earlier this year, several deputies left "Stabilitātei", causing its Saeima faction to collapse as it fell below the minimum of five members. The party continues to operate in parliament as four independent deputies.
