Latvia in Flames

The government’s decision to lift the ban on the fascist Thunder Cross group has made Gustavs Celmiņš and his supporters emboldened and all the more active and violent throughout Latvia. Today, this violence has come to a head as the Pērkonkrusts have armed themselves and marched on Rīga, demanding the immediate surrender of the Latvian government. Though it is clear the government had the intention of collaborating with the Pērkonkrusts, it would seem the group have no intention of including the leader in their regime.
