Details
"The transfer of the building to state ownership was supported by 70 deputies, 11 deputies voted against, while 9 deputies did not vote. Consideration of the bill was initiated by the Seimas National Security Commission, headed by MP Einar Latkovskis.
The main argument in favor of nationalizing the building was that under the guise of cultural events and education, the House of Moscow hosted political events that threatened Latvia's national security.
The authors of this initiative believe that the elimination of the House of moscow, which is a symbol of russian policy towards compatriots, will eliminate the threat to national security and statehood of Latvia.
The publication emphasizes that the government will now decide the fate of the building. The journalists admit that the property may be sold at auction.
