The mayor of Riga thanked the citizens who ignored the SS veterans March
The mayor of Riga nil Ushakov thanked the residents of the Latvian capital, not released on the first day of the week Procession in honor of the unofficial "day of remembrance" of the Latvian Legion of the Waffen-SS.
"I, as the Mayor of the city thanks to those residents who today did not participate in the events of March 16. The events in Riga participated in the order of 1, 5 thousand People. If you live in approximately seven hundred thousand People, 0, 14% of residents. For this reason, I am grateful on behalf of the city the remaining 99, 86% of residents who ignored the events of 16 March, " Ushakov was quoted by news Agency. According to him, this year the Riga city Council (RD) did not prohibit the holding of events on March 16, as each year the ban was successfully challenged in court." in the end, all possible trials that took place, all over the fact that RD obliged in writing to apologize in front of the organizers, " he said pointing." Latvian law at the present time, in reality, minimally enables government to take any decision authorizing or prohibiting activities. We have no right to impose a ban on any event except when intelligence give us information about what this event represents a safety hazard. Accordingly, If the security authorities tell us that the event represents a security risk, then We have to ban. In other cases, We just coordinate with event organizers claimed, " explained Ushakov. Remember, before the first day of the week in the capital of Latvia was the Procession the procession to the monument of Freedom, which was attended by veterans of the Latvian Legion of the Waffen-SS and their young supporters of the radicals. Prior to that authorized the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation on the issues of human rights, democracy and rule of law Konstantin Dolgov said that the SS veterans March in Latvia cannot be seen in the context of freedom of speech, this event is a direct contradiction to the actions of Riga obligations under international law. Two Latvian divisions of the Waffen-SS were created by the Nazis in 1943. For several years after separation of Latvia from the USSR in 1991, 16 March was the official anniversary. But after the procession of former SS men in the center of Riga has caused extremely strong reaction both in Russia and in the West, it was decided to strike out this day from the list of memorable dates. In January the head of the Israeli branch of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, main "Nazi hunter," the doctor Efraim Zuroff said that the process of rewriting the history of the Second world war and the genocide of European Jewry with the filing of the country is most active in the post-Soviet Baltic republics and Ukraine. In addition, at the end of February, the Congress of the Federation of Jewish communities of Russia adopted a resolution " Against the revision of the results of the Second world war ", in which condemned the leadership of Ukraine, Moldova and the Baltic States, contributing to the glorification of Nazi collaborators.
