''I condemn the activities of the so-called ''euro skeptics'' burning the European Union flag. I believe that this action does not only show their inability to engage in democratic dialogue, but also their lack of arguments against the implementation of the euro. I can only regret the actions of the participants, who decided to compensate their lack of arguments with hooliganism,'' Dombrovskis said trough his press secretary Martins Panke.
As reported, yesterday, the "Latvia for the Lat" association held a rally at the Freedom Monument protesting against "the introduction of the euro without the nation's consent", during which a European Union flag was burned.
