"Actions by the Latvian authorities in favour of rehabilitation of Nazism have become more intensive with the accession of Latvia to the EU and NATO", reads the joint statement by chairman of the National Civil Council for International Affairs Sergei Markov and chairman of its presidium and the Independent Organization Civil Society Sergei Abakumov. The statement has reached RIA Novosti.
"We call on the public of the EU countries, most of which has suffered from Nazism, to make their governments to bring pressure on the authorities of Latvia to prevent the revival of fascism, Nazism and other forms of radical nationalism. It has brought tremendous disasters to Europe and is again raising its head in Latvia and other countries of Europe", the statement reads.
Mr. Markov and Mr. Abakumov also invite deputies of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to consider the actions of the Latvian authorities towards the rehabilitation of Nazism.
Simultaneously, the Russian politologists voice "support for the democratic forces of Latvia, above all the coalition For Human Rights in United Latvia, in their struggle against the supporters of Nazism and other forms of ultra-nationalism".
