Making a statement to the press about his new position, Petere uttered interesting words and argued that witches and wizards are already very influential in Latvian politics. Saying that parliament is a perfect place to do his job, Petere said: “Can’t there be a witch in parliament? “I think we have great benefits in politics,” she said.

Latvia was one of the countries where witch hunts were common in Europe in the Middle Ages, where thousands of women were killed. Many women, who were thought to have infiltrated demons or evil spirits, were burned alive in European countries.
The country where the witch hunt was most common was Germany.
