THE WAY OF FREEDOM

The square in front of the Saeima building
Jēkaba Street 11

Next year, we will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the restoration of independence de facto in Latvia. We are on our way to celebrate the 100th birthday of our country. At times like these, we contemplate the events that have shaped us to be who we are today. It is important that we do not forget how the independence of Latvia was restored. The most important events in the process of the restoration of independence in Latvia were the acceptance of the Declaration of Independence on May 4, 1990, the January 1991 barricades and the passage of the constitutional law in August 21 the same year that announced the complete freedom of Latvia. With the help of an interactive book, the Saeima of the Republic of Latvia encourages readers to get to know the great foundation stones of the most recent journey to freedom in Latvia and to think about the Latvia that we want to create in the future.
