Latvians take to the streets seeking political change. "Riga - The rush hour trend in the Latvian capital Riga was reversed Tuesday as thousands gathered in the central Dome Square at 5:30 pm (1530 GMT) to call for the dissolution of parliament and fresh elections. The demonstration, backed by around 20 civil groups and opposition parties, was the idea of Aigars Stokenbergs and Artis Pabriks, former government ministers and founders of the a new opposition party called the Union for Different Politics.
According to the organizers' website, the demonstration was to show concern "about our nation's future, justice and democracy."
"We want to see more professional politics," Pabriks told the flag-waving crowd. "Mister President, please listen to us here in this square and dissolve the parliament."
Demonstrators voiced concerns about a number of issues prior to the demonstration including levels of corruption in public life, a struggling economy, tax hikes, rising unemployment and cuts in social security payments.

I will wait a few hours for you to explain me what is this doing in the Bulgarian forum before moving it somewhere else.
