The State Chancellery of Latvia has announced that it disagrees with a recent court ruling regarding the case of Jānis Citskovskis, who was previously the director of the State Chancellery. After being dismissed from his position, Citskovskis was offered a lower-ranking job which he found humiliating and subsequently refused. This led to his departure from the State Chancellery. In response to his dismissal, Citskovskis brought a case against Prime Minister Evika Siliņa's decisions related to his removal and the disciplinary actions taken against him.

The court ruled in favor of Citskovskis, declaring that the disciplinary sanction imposed by the Prime Minister was unlawful. The State Chancellery, however, has chosen to appeal this portion of the judgment, expressing its disagreement with the findings. This development indicates an ongoing legal dispute about the treatment of public officials in Latvia and raises questions about the accountability of government officials in disciplinary matters.

Citskovskis's case highlights tensions within the Latvian government regarding internal accountability and the extent to which decisions made by high-ranking officials can be challenged legally. As the appeal progresses, it is crucial to observe how this will impact the public's perception of governmental integrity and the legal framework governing public employment and disciplinary actions in Latvia.
