  • Telegraf prints an article about a possibility that Russia might soon cancel visa requirements for Latvian non-citizens
  • Leader of the nationalist radical organisation the National Front Aivars Garda asks to outlaw activities of so-called anti-fascists in Latvia
  • Vesti Segodnya reports about a book “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion: the Truth about the Fake”

The MEP from Latvia Tatyana Zdanoka in an interview with Telegraf, commenting an information that Russia might soon cancel visa requirements for Latvian non-citizens, has stated that such procedure is very complicated and because this proposal comes from oppositional party most likely it will not be supported by the majority of Russia’s State Duma. In the meantime, representative of Russia’s Embassy to Latvia has stated that decisions concerning crossing the border between Russia and Latvia should be reviewed in the light of relations between Russia and the EU.

Leader of the nationalist radical organisation the National Front Aivars Garda has sent an appeal to the Saeima’s Speaker and all MPs asking to outlaw activities of so-called anti-fascists in Latvia. Aivars Garda argues that anti-fascists have rudely disturbed procession in honour of Latvian Waffen SS legionnaires on 16 March and their activities in general are anti-Latvian. Vesti Segodnya

Vesti Segodnya reports about a book “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion: the Truth about the Fake” recently issued upon private initiative. The book disproves anti-Semitic ideas.
