"In accordance with the first part of Article 93 of the Law" On Local Government "I release Nil Ushakov from the duties of the Chairman of the Riga City Council," the text says.

In February, it was reported that, despite the opposition’s desire to dismiss Ushakov, the politician managed to keep his post.

In addition, it was noted that about 3 thousand people took part in a rally at the Town Hall Square in the city center in support of the mayor of Riga.
