  "description": "A video posted by a Latvian politician discusses misinformation circulated by a Latvian political party leader, who is accused of prioritizing Russian pensioners over Latvian citizens, and spreading Kremlin-aligned propaganda against Latvia. The video rebuts claims by Andrejs Pagors regarding the financial status of pensions paid to residents of Latvia, highlighting a deliberate falsehood by Russian diplomats and their local supporters. It stresses that the ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine underpins these geopolitical narratives aimed at pressuring democratic states, urging truthfulness in naming the situation. The post includes a local government source stating that no pensions from the Russian Federation have been credited to recipients in Latvia as of this year’s first quarter.",
