  "description": "Marats Kasems shares insights from a long interview with a supporter of Aleksejs Rosļikovs, a candidate involved in Latvian politics. The interview reveals that Rosļikovs and his campaign are strongly associated with Russian language and pro-Russian ideology, creating controversy during the election. Key points include the observation that European Parliament and NATO discourse is conducted solely in Russian by Rosļikovs' supporters, and Rosļikovs claims that Russians and Latvians share similar mentalities. The narrative also highlights concerns about nationalist elements within the election campaign who attempted to discredit opponents. The interview suggests a potential manipulation or mobilization influence by Rosļikovs and his camp that may resonate with voters favoring pro-Russian positions in Latvian political context.",
