Politics also appear in the content of the song festival. Kaspars Dimiters, who is the author of the words for many songs, also a musician himself, has confirmed his pro-Russian attitude, and the composer Zigmārs Liepiņš has said that he does not want to hear such a self-composed song composed by Dimiters at the Song Festival anymore.

“I will also be a participant of the Song Festival for the fifth or sixth time, and I deeply respect the position of Mr. Liepiņš. I believe that we, it has been proven especially this year, cannot look at art apart from the era, – art always has its author, creator, and this distinguishes the art created by man from the art that we will soon enjoy, created by artificial intellect,” that’s how Kārlis Būmeisters, a musician and advisor to the EP ECR faction, revealed his opinion to TV24’s “Press Club” program.
Similar to history, which flows, whose perception flows and is somewhat fluid, so is the attitude towards art. Although there is nothing wrong with this song as such, I respect Liepiņa.
And even more – Bumeister is also very happy as a copyright enthusiast that 10 years ago this would have been acceptable in society, but now it is no longer the case: “In the context of intellectual property, we as a society,
it seems we have understood that the work of art no longer belongs to the nation, but to the one who created it. That person has every right to limit it or control its life cycle.
Liepins did it regardless of whether anyone likes it or not.
The second question is also not entirely simple, because it is quite delicate. I will agree, as Karlis says, that sport, like art, is not in itself detached from politics. As Andris Spruds, Head of the European Affairs Commission of the Saeima (P), professor of the Faculty of European Studies at RSU, said,
all these things are interconnected with the era – all the talk of monuments and street names, of course, it is also partly a reassessment of our identity in the conditions of war. There is some basis for this.
The topic is complicated, even Zigmārs Liepiņš himself, as one of the authors, has withdrawn this creative, musical piece – it is his choice as an author, it is his right, Spruds also agrees with this.
