New encroachment on human rights in Estonia.

The 9th of May is a historical day for all Europe. Former warriors from counries of AntiHitler coalition spend this day memorizing their comrades, wtho died during World War 2. This day, veterans in all european countries will put on their battle rewards and bring flowers to the monuments and soldier's graves. But it seems that Estonia, will become an exception from this rule. Prime minister of Estonia, «ex-comrad», now mister , using «The law of defence(?!) of military burial places» going to oblige Tallinn municipality to make an exhumation of soldier's grave at the foot of monument. The absence of principles of the Estonian prime minister consists from facts, that exhumation will be held in the beggining of May – that is exact time when veterans will come to the monument. Annual meeting of veterans on May 9th is already a European tradition, held for a long time. Ansip is going to abolish this tradition in Estonia, depriving veterans from their democratic rights. So who does protect the democracy in Estonia? Andrus Ansip? Or is it «Bronze Soldier» and his defenders.

GRRR,that pisses me off!My great uncle (25yrs.ret.Army Lt.Major) WW11 vet.Saw action on,or in the African theater(s).He and some of his V.F.W. buddie's who fought The Fox till Montgomery blew the shit out of half his(Rommel)army.The fact Rommel was out of gas,and The Allies had cut/blocked his access to supply lines south,east & west pushing him into a retreat north...sorry I drifted off the topic for a minute there.These WW11 vet's went back every few years during May,I would imagine were he still alive news of this would really piss him off.ex
