A presentation of a study on the role of mass media and journalists in society will also take place in parliament.
Not only is the weather stable (consistent cold) outside, but also in the Saeima. Parliamentary "trends" remain unchanged - tightening of criminal legislation, language policy, and migration issues.
Next Tuesday, the Saeima subcommittee on criminal law and sentencing policy will discuss in preliminary order the proposal from the deputies of "New Unity" to introduce criminal liability for prohibited collusion, that is, for cartel agreements. The maximum penalty is up to three years in prison. It should be noted that most likely the majority of Saeima deputies will not support this initiative.
However, other amendments from "New Unity" have reached the second reading - regarding criminal punishment for the distribution of images and videos of an intimate nature without the consent of the subjects.
The parliamentary investigative commission on migration continues its work - discussing the legal regulation and practice of granting asylum to citizens of third countries. The issue of migration will also be addressed by the subcommittee on internal security - deputies will discuss the so-called EU migration pact on the distribution of refugees (migrants) across EU countries within the framework of quotas.
Employees of the State Language Center will come to the education committee to discuss the situation regarding the use of Latvian by teachers from former "Russian" schools.
The members of the human rights committee will be introduced to the results of a study by the Ministry of Culture on society's perception of the role of mass media and journalists.
