On March 16, Riga will host the annual march of Waffen SS veterans and other supporters of Nazi Germany.
“We know that the right-wing party, whose headquarters is located in Dortmund, calls to participate in the Nazi march and is its co-organizer,” Dagdelen said.
Bundestag member called on German government to condemn the Nazi parade.
Dagdelen also stressed that the German federal government violates the political and historical taboo by supporting the government in Ukraine, which comprises the Nazis, such as members of the Svoboda party.
The annual parade is opposed by Latvia's large ethnic Russian community, Jewish groups and several civic groups, that say the march essentially glorifies Nazism.
Last year, the Latvian government prohibited the country’s ministers from participating in the parade. Latvian Environment Minister Einars Cilinskis, who planned to participate in the parade in 2014, was fired.
