False – the statement is untrue, there is no evidence to support it, the author is lying or unintentionally sharing misleading information.
In the middle of the week, claims appeared on social media that under the influence of the Green Deal the government will ban the use of wood, pellets and briquettes for heating private homes. This is not true – there are no such plans. The false claims were spread on the internet by Tālis Linkaits, the former Minister for Transport and now a candidate for the European Parliament from the New Conservative Party (Jaunā konservatīvā partija), and a number of politicians from the Latvia First party (Latvija pirmajā vietā).
