The Director of the school in Latvia was fined for Russian language at the prom

From latvia there are reports about another obscurantism (that word is difficult to pick up) so-called state language centre (slb). The local newspaper kurzemes vards reports that the representatives of the centre took a decision to fine the director of one of schools of the city of liepaja. The protocol against the director of the educational organization were drawn up on the basis that he "Did not provide translation into the state language of the graduation ceremony for students of the 9th grade". The pupils and teaching staff reported that at first the director said (as required by the state language centre) welcome speech in latvian. Further began to use Russian language, as not all students understood latvian.

While at the event for health reasons were unable to attend the deputy director, which had (on the basis, again, of the requirements of the slb) to translate from Russian to latvian language everything that was said at the ceremony. In liepaja express bewilderment about why it was necessary to translate from Russian to latvian or vice versa, because no one translation into latvian is not required, plus the conduct of the ceremony prom latvian led to the fact that not all understood what was going on. In the end, the cga found the main offender legislation of latvia. And in this case they turned out to be the director who must now pay a fine to continue to hold events exclusively in latvian – if necessary with translation into Russian language. Recall that in the "Democratic" latvia has a "Democratic" law, under which any public event must take place exclusively in the latvian language, even if the participants of the latvian language and do not understand. Previously under this law, cga has fined the mayor of riga nile ushakov.
