Zmag: "Today in the Latvian capital of Riga, a crowd of fascists laid siege to and attacked a meeting called by the Latvian gay organization Mosaika at the four-star Reval Hotel to celebrate Gay Pride, after Pride March planned for today in Riga was banned on Wednesday this past week by the Riga City Council, a ban upheld on Friday by a Latvian court.
Today, Latvia does not show the face of a modern and democratic country. Instead, Riga is showing the face of homophobic facism, threatening its citizens and their guests, including members of the European Parliament."
The fascists apparently did not need any permit to demonstrate and attack the gay pride supporters.
The decision to let those Eastern countries join the EU, was a bad one. Maybe it was calculated to boost the right-wing tendencies in Europe.
