Occasional rants by a Latvian-American journalist (still) living in Riga on the dismal state of politics, the economy and much of society in Latvia

Tent city protestors in Riga
Protestors have built a small tent city in Riga in front of the government house or Cabinet of Ministers. Started by one man, Gints, who demands the government act to reduce unemployment and to reform the electoral system, it has blossomed to ten tents and a semi-permanent fire for cooking and warmth. The protests now cover a variety of causes. I had a chance to film what was going on a few days ago from today, December 26.
