"Madam President, I should like to pose you a question. Do you think it is possible to close French schools in Belgium? Or, let us say, German schools in France? You are right: it is not possible. Yet in Latvia, where more than 40% of the population is Russian-speaking, it is possible. Today, in the Latvian Parliament, nationalist and Nazi members wish to hold a referendum on the closure of Russian schools in Latvia. At the same time, OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities, Knut Vollebaek, arrives in Latvia and announces that he can be proud of integration in Latvia Do you think that I am joking? You are mistaken. What, moreover, do you think will happen if Russian schools are closed in Latvia? I shall tell you – a civil war will break out in Latvia. If the European Parliament does not react today to this overt radical initiative, by tomorrow, it will already be too late. Thank you."@en1
