BB.lv: “I don’t know a single household that may return to Latvia”

“These knowledge additionally appear a bit of improbable to me. I don’t know the way the Central Statistical Workplace receives this knowledge and at what level they measure what, however from a purely on a regular basis standpoint, for instance, I do know a number of households who left, moved to dwell overseas. I do not know any [семьи]who moved from overseas international locations to Latvia, I’m speaking regarding residents of our nation,” sworn lawyer Janis Dzanushkans stated on TV24, commenting on the info launched by the CSB that with out bearing in mind Ukrainian refugees, final 12 months, for the primary time since 1990, there have been extra folks arriving in Latvia than those that left – extra residents returned to Latvia than left.

“You’ll be able to take your personal observations, in addition to the truth that if we’re speaking regarding the truth that in 33 years there’s at the moment some type of turning level when extra folks come than go away… If we recall the statistics from 1994, where- then there have been all main crises when folks persistently tried to discover a higher place, a way of subsistence and, accordingly, left in quest of these higher technique of subsistence, then, accordingly, all crises persistently confirmed this tendency for folks to go away. So for the time being, when. there’s a geopolitical disaster overseas and it can’t be stated that our economic system is prospering and smelling, and statistics present extra arrivals, then evidently there’s something fallacious with the info. And it’s good to ask the CSO regarding this, what sort of algorithm it’s, what they used and the place! there was this error,” reasoned lawyer Dzanushkans.

The lawyer admits the likelihood that the CSO “measured this knowledge” for the time being when a big trade of passports and eID playing cards occurred in Latvia final 12 months.

“Possibly they caught them at that second.

Possibly then there was a bigger inflow of individuals coming from overseas and altering private paperwork. The query is how and at what level they measure these statistics, however evidently this can be a mistake,” the sworn lawyer emphasised.
