Jānis Iesalnieks is a Latvian politician, former Parliamentary Secretary of Minister of Justice,[1] and currently is Member of the 13th Saeima.[2]
After the 2011 Norway attacks, he tweeted "The Norwegian victims are entirely on the conscience of multiculturalists - their islamization policy led to someone simply going crazy". The same day Iesalnieks issued a statement where he denied justifying the actions of Anders Breivik,[3] but later announced he would be stepping down as the party's board member and not running for the 2011 Latvian parliamentary election.[4]
