If they are not parliamentary elections, then it must have a number of very far-reaching decision. They include experts from government min-rooted change, a complete reorganization of public administration. But on the copper is not ready. "Everyone is aware of the need, but all are related. This is a huge organism, which, except for one organ, will begin in the internal bleeding, "says Mr Eddie.


V. Zatlers, asked to specify how he sees the opportunity to practice such a situation the public to engage more actively, through its press department answered uncertain. "It is important for young people - entrepreneurs, teachers, engineers and economists - to help and take action," according to the president, though without giving the recipe to make. He himself decided to stay in waiting lines - the dissolution of the Saeima V. Zatlers is currently not on the agenda, said she represented Ilze Rassa.

The court, though not all the protesters will require the dissolution of the Saeima, a part of voicing angry about their economic situation.
