At the end of April, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Latvia would resume funding to the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA, which provides assistance to Palestinian refugees in various countries.
Last week, MP Mārcis Jencītis (Latvija pirmajā vietā party) scared his Facebook followers saying that the World Health Organisation's (WHO) pandemic agreement, which is still in the making, threatens national sovereignty. Similar claims have been made for several years, but without any evidence.
In early August, Facebook users, including two members of the political party Latvia First (Latvija pirmajā vietā, LPV) , shared a video of blogger Edijs Gribusts where he was lying about the rights of transgender children in the US state of California. He said that parents can supposedly lose custody of their child if they do not pay for the child's gender reassignment surgery. Gribusts' claim is completely fabricated.
