"Thank you, Mr President. On 8 May, Europe celebrates victory over Nazism. However, ladies and gentlemen, I have some unpleasant news. This year in Latvia, on 16 March, with the tacit approval of the authorities, Waffen SS veterans staged a march with flags in Riga in commemoration of the day on which the Latvian SS legion was founded. For 20 years now, we in the opposition have not been able to do anything about it. The leaders of European states pretend that nothing is going on. In Latvia, SS punishment battalions destroyed 130 villages and killed more than 150 000 people in Latvia, Belarus, Poland and Russia. Today, however, they are commemorated as heroes in Latvia. This timorous silence in European Union Member States is a crime against the millions of people who perished during the Second World War. This is extremely important. Thank you."@en1
