Summary

Headline: Latvian public broadcaster accused of spreading disinformation about Latvian language status on air

Short Summary: Latvian X user claims that Latvian public radio hosts failed to correct misleading statements regarding Latvia's language law during a live broadcast, suggesting the presence of Russian InfoOps.

Description

A Latvian X (Twitter) user accuses Latvian public radio (Latvijas Radio) hosts of spreading disinformation on-air regarding the official status of the Latvian language and the constitutional requirement to use it. The post alleges that comments by Olga Knazeva were misleading and not adequately corrected by the program's hosts. The author suggests this is part of a pattern involving Russian-language media personalities in Latvia and calls for action by the Latvian media ombudsman and public awareness about possible Russian Federation citizenship of the commentator.

Quotes

Vadītāji melo tiešā ēterā. Jevgēņij Antonov un Natalja Meščenjareva.

komentārs, kuru izlasīja Olga Knazeva, nebija vērsts pret Latvijas valsts valodu, apšaubot latviešu valodas Satversmē minēto statusu

šo informāciju viņi aizvērto ar: 'klaustītājs paduda šaubas par to, vai vispār ir vērts mācīt latviešu valodu...'

cik ilgi mēs skatīsimies kā krievvalodīgie sabiedriskie mediji melos mums tiešā ēterā.
