If we punish for the Russian language, will they start to love our country? 0 5

Famous plastic surgeon Janis Zaržickis did not support attempts to tighten fines for language violations in a discussion on TV-24. "If we punish for the Russian language, will they start to love our country? On the contrary - this will only provoke their anger. I believe we need to approach this with love; the main thing is that they are loyal to Latvia, and this cannot be achieved through punishment," said J. Zaržickis. He noted that recently more and more Russian speakers, coming to see him, are trying to speak Latvian, including older people. "And I really appreciate this," the doctor emphasized.
