  • Several hundred people have taken part in the commemorative procession of Latvian Waffen SS legionaries on 16 March

Newspapers report that several hundred people have taken part in the commemorative procession of Latvian Waffen SS legionaries on 16 March in the centre of Riga. The event was massively observed by the Police and security forces. The Mayor of Riga Janis Birks contrary to his earlier statements was not among the members of the procession.  Members of so-called antifascist organisation have been whistling at the procession. The police have prevented anti-fascists from laying a mourning wreath to the Monument of Freedom in commemoration of victims of Nazism. Chas, Vesti Segodnya, Telegraf, Latvijas Avize, Diena, NRA
