Ratniks are furious about the flag of the Islamic State on the bridge in Riga two weeks ago someone hung an Afghan flag on the bridges, this time the flag of Saudi Arabia. The flag caused severe traffic when removed. The police started administrative proceedings regarding the violation of public order. Riga Deputy Mayor Eduards Ratniks points out that the second case of an Islamic State flag being hoisted on the Cable Bridge in such a short period of time should be considered a provocation. He called on the State Security Service and other responsible departments to investigate these cases as thoroughly as possible, as this could be a test of Latvia's ability to respond and "could be the beginning of large-scale provocations against our country and its security."
