Protesters gather during a rally against Riga Mayor Nils Ushakovs at the Town Hall Square, in Latvia's capital Riga. Ushakovs is ethnic Russian and the leader of the Harmony party representing the Russian-speaking population of Latvia. In 2018-2019 officers of the anti-corruption bureau carried out searches at Ushakovs' office in relation to the corruption scandal around the municipal enterprise Rigas Satiksme. Latvian authorities, including the President of Latvia Raimonds Vejonis, called for Usakovs to resign, but he didn't.
