How Many NGO's in Latvia?



54 NGOs demand Latvian Welfare Minister’s resignation


An excerpt from the original article:


The letter emphasizes that gender roles and sex differences are natural and self-explanatory. Society needs to have girls who are aware of their femininity and beauty, who understand their function and role of a woman and a mother. Boys, on the other hand, must develop their manhood, learn to be responsible for their families and be brave enough to protect their country if need be.
If you read the full article you'll find that Natalija Magazeina doesn’t google
I found 7 NGO’s in Latvia
I mention this because since I heard it on RadioBalkom this morning, and then read a reprint from the original LETA in the Baltic Times, I have not been able to verify this 54 number at all.
Besides, combined with all the symbolic dead babies in Old Town lately I see a very real attack on reality happening in this country. Is it originating from within, or without?

<edit> i was on a flight from Brussels to Latvia on the 17 of Sept. (BT604) that had a contingent of LGBT folks in funny hats stuffed into the back of the plane due to their bon vivant attitude who I would enjoy a comment from!

EDIT 29.12.2012: As of February 2011, there were 13,284 registered nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Latvia, almost two-thirds of which were founded after Latvia joined the European Union (EU) in 2004.
