In certain Baltic states, they also vandalize Russian cemetaries and build
monuments, glorifying the Nazi past, while enjoying the support of high-
ranking government officials. This has nothing to do with their rights to free
speech.

there are already laws against vandalizing and attacking people. a vague law
infringing the right to free speach won't rebuild cemetaries and heal beaten
people. i am in no way one of those supporting absolute free speach, but if
even germany is against the proposed resolution, then that is an indicator to
me that the law is useless or contraproductive. as we all know, they have a
law that punishes antisemitic and racist speach, so they aren't against the
principle of limiting free speach, if it is for a good reason.
