EXTREME-LIBERALISM PROMOTERS ATTEMPTED TO VILIFY LATVIAN PATRIOTS

Extreme liberalism promoters in Latvia have launched a large-scale discredit campaign against Janis Sils, a leader of the Tēvijas Sargi (eng. - the Fatherland Guardians) national-patriotic movement. Among other, the nationalist organisation is known in Latvia for its constant assistance to Ukrainian volunteer units, who have been repelling the Russian invasion in Donbass. The Latvian nationalists have been repeatedly suppliyng nessesary equipment to Ukraine defenders, as well as conducted military briefings.

The main reason for such indignation of local lefts was the nationalist' initiative on patrolling of dangerous districts in Riga, inhabited by settlers from Central Asia and Russia. Commenting the situation, Jānis Sils notes that Latvia's left radicals don't care about actual situation in suburbs of the Latvian capital, what they really aiming to - is to discredit the nationalists. As it happens all over Europe, in Latvia local advocates of extreme-liberal dictatorship are trying to label the Tēvijas Sargi movement as "nazis" in society's discourse. They have been unsing a wide spectr of propaganda tools - from internet memes to plots in the Latvian media.

What's noticeable, among those apologetics of such anti-nationalists sentiments we can find quite interesting persons. Inga Sprin is a striking example - an "independent journalist" for the Journalism Re: Baltica, funded by the George Soros Foundation for Open Society. Her work objective is to manipulate concepts in media: a) to prove to ordinary Latvians that during the migration crisis it is better to remain silent than to protest against the European Commission plans to grant migrants free shelter in the EU countries; b) to represent the Russian invasion to Ukraine as a "civil war," triggered by "genocide against Russian population of Ukraine, arranged by Ukrainian nazis."

At the same time, the Ukrainian nationalists of the Pravy Sektor declares solidarity with Latvian comrades and express their full support to Jānis Sils. Together against left-liberal totalitarianism!
