The drones come home to roost for the government of Latvia

From 23-25 May, 200 communists gathered in Ivry-sur-Seine to take part in the Second Congress of the Parti Communiste Révolutionnaire (PCR). Activists from Paris, Toulouse, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes, Caen, Brest, Bourges, Montpellier, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Nîmes, Strasbourg, Morlaix, Grenoble and Saintes were present. They were joined by international delegations from the Swiss, Belgian, Canadian, and German sections of the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI), of which the PCR is the French section.

In the early hours of 7 May, three Ukrainian drones entered Latvian airspace. Two of those fell onto Latvian territory near the Russian border, setting off a chain of events culminating in the collapse of the government. This is the price the Latvian ruling class is having to pay for turning the country into the most bellicose ally to Ukraine, thereby letting NATO put a huge target on their back.
