Latvia Weekly: Green initiatives – a threat to Latvian economy

During the examined week the disinformation narratives were comparatively diverse in comparison to prior weeks. Nevertheless, the primary issues discussed are domestic, such as corruption, societal values and language. From the examined platforms, most engagement is reached on TikTok and Facebook, where content is posted in video format. In the prior weeks, there had been a noticeable trend of disinformation channels being more active on Twitter, which is starting to reach significantly more engagement. Nevertheless, the engagement is highly critical.

Main narratives:

  • International initiatives countering global warming should not be supported as they will make the Latvian economy uncompetitive
  • Latvian nationalists should be less concerned with people living near borders and not knowing Latvian language and more concerned with youth who have poor Latvian language knowledge
  • The prices of electricity are intentionally increased by the globalists for the purpose of making people poorer
  • Democratic states being accepting of lgbtq is a myth and factually majority of the world is for traditional values
