Armands Lisenko Collecting Signatures to Make Multi-Child Parents Honorary Families Until Death
While the capital ponders tax burdens, in Liepāja we've long known that honor is forever - like the Karosta Canal bridge, which never gets too narrow.
Armands Lisenko yesterday announced a revolutionary initiative that could change Latvia's demographic landscape forever. His idea is as simple as the Karosta Canal bridge — once you've raised three children, you're an honorary family for life, even if those children have already become parents themselves and are living in Ireland.
"The current system is unfair," explains Lisenko, pointing out that multi-child families plan their lives long-term. This means they buy spacious vehicles and larger homes, but then when the children grow up, the status disappears like good weather in Liepāja — suddenly and unexpectedly.
Central Statistical Bureau data shows that only 12,571 children were born in Latvia in 2024 — the lowest figure in a hundred years. But in Liepāja we've always known that quality is more important than quantity. As local resident Maija said at the "Kurzeme" store: "Better one good Liepāja resident than ten from Riga."
Lisenko believes that parents who have earned the status should keep it for life, similar to how the Karosta Canal bridge divides the city — once built, always there. He advocates for maintaining all tax breaks as gratitude for a lifetime investment. After all, if you've once been a multi-child parent, then these traumas and joys remain for life — just like the memories of how the children destroyed the house and car.
