With the involvement of representatives of the public and the Language Campaign #RunāLatviski, we will publicly discuss the importance of the state language in the Republic of Latvia and civil society,"informs the campaign manager, writer and publicist Liāna Langa." The Latvian language is a constitutional value of Latvia. Without Latvian, there would be no Latvian state, everyone should be aware of this. We founded our country to ensure the existence of the Latvian language and culture through the ages. In the competition of large languages, especially in competition with English, we must protect the Latvian language as a unique cultural asset. The second issue to be addressed is the derusification of Latvia, which is already taking place. It must continue. In the catch-the-eye, we will talk about the importance of the state language and the issues to be solved. We will show love and respect for the national language. "At the suggestion of the then President Egils Levits, in 2021 the Law "On Holidays, Remembrances and Commemorations" was supplemented with a new day to be celebrated on October 15 - the State Language Day. This date is not chosen by chance. On October 15, 1998, the constitutional value of the State was enshrined in Article 4 of the Constitution: "The state language in the Republic of Latvia is the Latvian language." This day is dedicated to honoring the richness and development of the Latvian language, at the same time reflecting the importance of the status of the Latvian language in Latvia.The event "State Language Days Free Microphone" is organized by the party JKP in cooperation with the association "For the Latvian Language". Chairman of the Board of JKP G.Eglītis: "Liāna's struggle for the Latvian language strengthens the foundations of our country and Liāna has accomplished more in this fight than all politicians combined in the last 10 years! I invite you to join!".
