Latvia restricts Russian-language content in public media

Original: Latvian parliament adopts amendments on minority languages, restricting use of Russian Latvia's public-service media wil

Latvia's parliament has adopted amendments to minority-language rules that sharply limit the use of Russian in the country's public-service media. Under the new law, state broadcasters may produce Russian-language content only during a state of emergency or for the targeted debunking of disinformation. The move reflects Latvia's broader effort to reduce Russian influence in public life amid tensions linked to the war in Ukraine.

Why now: It is part of Latvia's wider push to limit Russian influence following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
