Āboliņš said that channel monitoring is still ongoing, as more than 60 programs broadcast in Russian and related to Russia are still available in Latvia. “If we detect offenses, with EU and US sanctions extending, there are likely to be new decisions,” said Āboliņš.
“At the moment, 28 programs have been banned and I would say that our informative space in the linear transmission is absolutely clean from Russian propaganda and a narrative of lies and hatred,” Āboliņš said.
The head of NEPLP said that last week 14 administrative cases were initiated against cable operators for alleged infringements related specifically to the failure to remove banned programs from offer.
