Former Latvian Foreign Minister Janis Jurkans stated that "God left" from the country, in connection with which he proposed to change the anthem, "Life". According to the ex-head of the foreign policy department, at the moment it is impossible to observe the observance of the basic principles of faith in Latvia, therefore there is no need to speak about the conformity of the first line of the anthem of the country where it is said about the blessing of Latvia. "Why should we bless?

Do we follow the basic postulates:" Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you? "Do we love our neighbor as ourselves, how are we doing with forgiveness? None of these basic elements in our society are present. But we ask God to bless us. This duplicity, "- said Jurkans in an interview with the newspaper Neatkariga rita avize.
