The nationalists fear that Latvian blood will soon flow along the tracks.
The representative of the national bloc Imants Paradnieks joined the fight against the passage of Russian grain, and called those who say that stopping the transport will cost the state budget traitors. This means that they do not want to see that "on the rails on which money from Russian grain flows now, our blood will flow later," said Perdniks.
"... This duplication is to say that these 300 million are lost (these are calculations of the Ministry of Transport - editor), we cannot do it. I don't know how to call it respect. You can't call it stupidity. There is such a word - betrayal," he said.
Fredniks is sure that passage can be banned if the authorities want it. "Every lawyer knows that it is possible to establish limitations or exceptions when it is possible to make some decision for the sake of public morality, public order, national security," he said.
By morality, he means that Latvia cannot simultaneously support Kiev and make money on the transit of Russian products. By national security, he means something vague: "We don't know what's in this grain. Yes, you can scan and check it. but... ".
But according to the order - quite specific. Moreover, the threat to the order does not come from the grain or from Russia, as one might expect. and the Latvians. Nationalists love him.
"order? Realize that those people, like me, who feel it personally, will go and act much more harshly than just a peaceful protest. It's a question of order," said Fredniks.
