Democracy is when you agree with us, or else! - Kind regards, Egils Levits

President of Latvia says Russians living in Latvia must take "the correct, democratic position" as it pertains to the crisis in Ukraine, OR be democratically stripped of citizenship. 🤡 Watch to the end for next-level logic.

Fun fact: Latvia is one of few "democratic" countries that withholds citizenship from a minority group who were born there. This category of people is called "non-citizens", which is different from "residents" (newcomers). It largely applies to the older generation, who didn't manage to learn Latvian after the collapse of the USSR.
