• Telegraf prints an article on possible aggressive protestors and organisers of violent clashes

Newspapers continue to report about anti-governmental rioting in Riga on 13 January.

Newspapers continue to report about anti-governmental rioting in Riga on 13 January. Telegraf prints an article on possible aggressive protestors and organisers of violent clashes. According to the article, representatives of various radical groups – ultra-right, skinheads and left-wing radicals were among aggressive protestors. Leader of the Latvian National Bolsheviks Vladimirs Lindermans in an interview with the newspaper stated that despite differences in opinion and personal conflicts among some of the participants of the manifestation in the past, the common aim of the protest reconciled them. Jevgenijs Osipovs, leader of pro-Russian nationalistic party Osipovs Party, states that, despite the claim of Security Police that a member of his party was detained among organisers of the clashes, official representatives of the party did not support the manifestation. Ethnic Latvian nationalistic party All for Latvia! published at its home page a comment on the protest actions, arguing that representatives of governing coalition might be among instigators of the clashes, because violence during the protest could be used as an argument against the manifestation as such. According to Telegraf, Latvian secret services were aware that representatives of various radical groups could organise clashes. However, the secret services were caught unprepared when a dozen of radicals were joined by common people who were not connected to the radical groups.
