They're rioting in Latvia, to paraphrase the Kingston Trio. Actually, they truly are rioting in Latvia as this New York Times article points out. That isn't good news for this small Baltic nation that suffered under the yoke of the Soviets for 50 years, and is now a member of both NATO and the European Union.
According to the CIA website almost 30% of Latvia's population is ethnically Russian. Ethnic Latvians are less than 60% of the population. As the article points out, rioting that started in Greece in early December has spread to Bulgaria and now Latvia. Can those famous French "youths" be far behind?
Comments about this being Europe's "winter of discontent" require hat tips to William Shakespeare and John Steinbeck. Poor little Latvia....
