What happened in Latgale this week? LSM rounds up the region's main news
LSM's Latgale desk has compiled the week's key regional events — from the first tunnel found being used by illegal migrants at the border to questions about disappearing night pharmacies and flower theft in Rēzekne.
LSM's Latgale editorial team has prepared its weekly roundup of the most important developments in the region. The overview covers several issues related to security at the state border, access to healthcare, and public order in Latgale.
One of the topics concerns the first tunnel discovered that had been used by illegal migrants to cross the Latvian border. The case points to new methods, not previously recorded in the region, used to attempt illegal entry into the country.
A second issue addressed in the roundup looks at the availability of night pharmacies in Latgale. LSM's editorial team examines why the number of pharmacies operating at night in the region has declined or disappeared entirely, which could make it harder for residents to obtain necessary medication in emergencies.
The third item concerns Rēzekne, where repeated flower thefts have been reported — someone has been regularly stealing flowers in the city, a matter that has drawn attention and puzzlement among local residents.
The roundup brings together these and other notable stories from various municipalities and towns across Latgale over the past week, offering a look at events that often receive less attention compared to national news. LSM's Latgale desk publishes such summaries regularly so that a wider audience can follow developments in the region.
