Such an assessment of the plans for the mass import of labor into the country was expressed by a former resident of Venezuela, a millionaire, in an interview with Latvijas Avīze.
“In my little book, I describe the experience of the Soviet era, when the functionary, ideological secretary of the Central Committee, Imants Andersons, was looking for solutions to the already existing demographic problems and planned various measures – to the extent that he even allowed mothers of many children to shop in stores for participants and disabled veterans of the ‘patriotic war’, where there were scarce products. This policy had some successes. This means that a decrease in birth rates can be prevented and there are solutions for this.”
“Look at what we have today – there is a shortage of doctors, nurses, police officers, firefighters, things are going in a dangerous direction,” V. Vitols expresses indignation, “With the decrease in the working-age population, there is a real threat to the pension system. The time will come when the state will not be able to pay pensions.”
Currently, the foundation established by the Vitols family supports 825 talented young people receiving scholarships.
“At least this youth is something fantastic,” the patriotically minded businessman admires, “with goals in life, eager to learn. Thank you to those who choose to study here! It is a great misfortune, practically a crime of parents, to send their children to study abroad. For many, after finishing higher education, they stay there... In four years, a young person loses contact with the Latvian environment, receives good job offers, as Latvian students are usually among the best. There is also a shortage of trained specialists in the West.”
