Latvia’s ruling New Era party said on Sunday it would appeal against a decision by the Latvian capital’s legislature to ban a demonstration by Waffen SS veterans and their supporters on March 16.
The decision to ban the Waffen SS veterans demonstration was made by the Riga Duma on Friday.
The New Era party argued on its web site that the ban on the Waffen SS march violated the fundamental democratic rights of the freedom of meetings, incited national strife and exacerbated relations in Latvian society.
Latvia annually holds demonstrations by former legionnaires of the Latvian Waffen SS legion on March 16. The Baltic state’s president said two years ago that he did not consider the legionnaires “Nazis”, many of whom have allegedly participated in the so-called Holocaust.
The country’s antifascist (communist) organizations and opposition parties hold protests and try to prevent demonstrations, which sometimes results in clashes.
The Riga Duma banned all events dedicated to the anniversary of the Latvian Waffen SS legion’s establishment after being advised to do so by law enforcement agencies.
The WWII continues to be a contentious issue in relations between Russia and both Estonia and Latvia, over the Baltic states’ perceived glorification of Nazi collaborators.
Parades in honor of Waffen-SS veterans, involving veterans from the Latvian Legion and the 20th Estonian SS Division and their supporters, are held annually in the two Baltic states.
In April 2007, Tallinn was hit by mass protests after the Estonian authorities ordered the removal of a Soviet WWII monument, along with the graves of Soviet soldiers who fought against Hitler’s forces.

What used to happen during the evening of the longest day?
Since the fall of Stalinism, right-wing nationalists rule the Baltic nations. Communist symbols are banned and Nazi soldiers are rehabilitated. I find that very wrong. The communists ( stalinists ) did indeed bad things, but nazi’s are far worser than Stalin.
The occupation of the Baltic was a crime. But to ban communist symbols and to rehabilitate Waffen SS soldiers to a crime to. You cannot ban a red star only because of Stalin. The right-wing regimes who ruled the Batic before the soviet invasion were not democratic at all. Dictators like Antanas Smetona were pro-capitalist, anti-communist and ruled with iron fist.
So the Baltic nations were not genuine democratic and tolerant. They were bourgeoisie dictatorships who were destroyed by a Stalinist dictatorship. The present-day bourgeoisie democracy’s love to equal Lenin with Stalin. For them, all left-wing people are bad and only patriotic anticommunists are good.
Is Latvia free? Or Not?
If it is free, then they can celebrate there heroes for Christian Europe.
If they cannot celebrate, then we have a genuine Jewish oppressive dictatorship on our hands being racist to Latvia’s Native Ethnic Peoples.
The SS did there very best to defend the ethnic diverse peoples of Europe from a very ugly and very racist world.
So many Asians and Africans had been launching full invasions of genocide against the ethnically diverse peoples of Europe for more then 4,000 years. It took more then a 1,000 years of racism against my ethnic peoples before we even got aggressive at fighting back against the worlds racism.
Hail the SS for being early candidates in the fight against racism.
Defend ethnic peoples from globalization led by Lucifer.
