The Prosecution Will Request to Suspend the Activities of the Party 'Stabilitātei'

The General Prosecutor's Office of Latvia is seeking to suspend the activities of the political party 'Stabilitātei' due to violations related to inciting national hatred and supporting Russia.

The General Prosecutor's Office in Latvia announced on Tuesday its intention to approach the court to request the suspension of the political party 'Stabilitātei.' This legal action comes after an assessment of the party's activities raised concerns regarding compliance with the Law on Political Parties. In December 2025, the Prosecutor's Office had already issued a warning to the party, indicating that certain members were spreading divisive messages that could incite national hatred and unrest, while also allegedly providing informational support to Russia.

The Prosecutor's Office had set a deadline for the party, instructing it to address the issues noted in the warning by February 7. Specifically, the party was required to cease the dissemination of problematic information on social media and to review the content posted on their social networks for compliance with existing regulations governing political party activities. Failure to comply with these directives has now led to the decision to elevate the matter to the courts.

This situation highlights ongoing tensions regarding political speech and the regulatory environment of political parties in Latvia, particularly in the context of rising concerns about foreign influence and domestic extremism. The actions taken by the General Prosecutor's Office reflect the government's commitment to ensuring adherence to legal standards among political entities, especially in light of the sensitive geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe.
