In Latvia, ATMs do not provide information in Russian.
Member of the Jelgava City Council for the “Russian Union of Latvia” Andrey Pagor Today, November 19, I posted a photo from an ATM screen on my Telegram channel. The device notifies clients:
“From January 30, 2025, ATMs in Latvia will no longer have information in Russian. Due to changes in the law on credit institutions, it will automatically be displayed in the state language.”
Pagor mocks:
“Everything is for the people. Soon we will achieve success…”
One of the channel’s subscribers asked: “So it won’t be in English either, isn’t it the state language? Or “is this different”? To which they responded:
“Yana, “this is different.” In Rezekne we already have Latvian and English.”
EADaily Remember that the Russian language in Latvia is the second most common language and the most spoken as a mother tongue in Latvia. In 2021, according to the Latvian census, there were about 464 thousand ethnic Russians (more than 24% of the country’s total population).
