Main narratives:
- Government does not care about the people;
- Inflation has lead to unbearable conditions;
- It is impossible to find work in Latvia.
Overview:
Kremlin-aligned Telegram channels repeated anti-government narratives during the monitoring period, portraying Latvia’s economy as failing. Multiple posts highlighted the high prices of goods following recent years of inflation, which is a real issue. However, these channels exaggerated the situation and used extreme language. For example, one post claimed that “Latvia will face hunger and protests,” while another described the situation as “price chaos.”
Additionally, several posts argued that people in Latvia cannot find jobs and are forced to seek employment abroad. The overarching narrative was that the government is to blame and that it does not care for its people.
