"Madam President, there is a very good saying in English: ‘every family has a black sheep’. Today Latvia has an official political party which believes that the war criminals of the Latvian SS Legion are heroes. These radicals impugn one third of the entire Latvian population, dubbing them occupiers and colonists. They insult monuments and dates that are sacrosanct to many residents of Latvia. They initiated the closure of minority schools. However, this did not prevent this association of admirers of the SS Legion from becoming part of the Latvian Government. As a result, the country finds itself on the verge of ethnic conflict. I believe that the European Parliament should urgently assess the activities of these nationalist radicals, and should also demand that the Latvian Government explain how it can include people who support war crimes and consider them to be heroic deeds. Thank you."@en1
