Latvians were asked to wear sunglasses in protest

From 2 to 3 March, the Latvian Platform for Development Cooperation called on residents of the country to wear sunglasses - both on the street and in the workplace or at public events. The name of the action is “Eclipse of the Mind”, it is a protest against the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers not to allocate additional money for programs aimed at educating Latvian society.

Latvian non-governmental organizations with their projects have won big contests of the European level and even managed to attract financial flows in the amount of about 2 million euros. However, monetary assistance from Latvia is also required - depending on the program, it is equal to 10-25% of the necessary expenses.

Despite international success, the Latvian government decided not to increase co-financing, allocating only 25 thousand euros for all projects as a whole.

The Latvian Platform for Development Cooperation also encourages Latvians to take pictures of themselves in sunglasses and publish pictures on social networks.
