I greet you on the day of the restoration of Latvian independence with gratitude and joy that we can live in a free country and build it based on our own choices, decisions, and values together!
Every year on May 4, Latvia celebrates the day when in 1990 the Supreme Council of the Latvian SSR adopted the Declaration "On the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia" and Latvia became an independent state, free from Soviet rule after 50 years of occupation.
