Latvian nationalists will hold a procession in Riga in commemoration of Nazi intervention, ITAR-TASS says. The union against Nazism has opposed the event.
On July 1, Riga will see two events, Riga's government says. A traditional proceeding "Steps of the living" in commemoration of the Holocaustvictims is to be held on the territory in Riga’s former ghetto. Moreover, the nationalists intend to hold their own procession from the Museum of Occupation to the Freedom Monument. The event will be consecrated to the end of the "horrible year", which is the period from 1940-1941.
