Weel if Latvian govrement would't steal from bridge projects like Šlesers, and Andris Šķēle couple milions from something else, and other stealers like Kalvitis, Repše...it would be much better situation in Latvia

[juratuke]

@kukuls99 you have to be proud !!!!! It's just an economical crisis !!! It's not the end of the world !!!!

Worse than with the USSR???. Fuck the UE!

I did not see anything in this story about bankruptcy of the country. It more looks like a reasonable change - not spending money unreosonably - that's all. There are so many rural areas all around the Europe, where kids have to travel to school even longer. Good luck with all the reforms.

Money spent in education is neaver unreasonably.

Education ensures the future.

@ks1551

You see, problem is budget deficit. Governmet says, that they don't have a money for these small schools. Crisis has overtaken all Latvia. Every Latvian can feel it.. And it's getting worse for some people :( More and more people leaving Latvia for a better lifes in other countries.. Weak economy, thin people. Poorest county in Europe. But one is amazing! Look at cars in Riga! Newest BMW and Audi all over the Riga! Crisis...

[Miacek08]

@aldcor - the budget deficit is not the gist of the problem, it simply made matters worse. Estonia managed to save money, having budget surpluses but nevertheless happened to be in the same league with Latvia.
