Latvia Weekly: Distrust in Latvian Politicians and Traditional Family

From the findings examined this week, the main narrative has switched from the Istanbul Convention as it is moving forward to be potentially ratified by the judicial committee signaling the failure of the prior disinformation attempts. The two most discussed topics in the examined week are the referendum for the dismissal of the current Latvian parliament and the excessive spending of the previous prime minister and current foreign minister Krišjānis Kariņš who has spent around 600 000 euros in private jet flights during his post-as a prime minister. There is a noticeable trend of content posted on Facebook and TikTok reaching audiences that do not support the views of the creator and express a more critical view. Additionally, more content is being posted on Twitter however it reaches little to no engagement.
