"Nothing Personal": People Linked to the Union of Greens and Farmers Attended China Embassy-Backed Event

On Sunday evening, the Latvian TV3 investigative journalism programme "Nekā personīga" reported that several individuals linked to the Union of Greens and Farmers (ZZS) attended a conference on Chinese culture that was supported by the Chinese embassy.

The programme did not specify the location or date of the conference, nor did it name all attendees, but it highlighted that the event had backing from the Chinese embassy and was attended by people connected to ZZS, one of Latvia's political parties.

"Nekā personīga" is one of the longest-running investigative journalism programmes on Latvian television, regularly examining the connections between politicians and public figures and various interest groups and organisations, including foreign diplomatic missions.

The report on ZZS-linked individuals attending an event backed by a foreign embassy comes amid ongoing public discussion in Latvia about foreign influence on domestic political life. The source report did not provide further details on the conference's goals, agenda, or other attendees.

Apollo.lv cited TV3's Sunday broadcast of "Nekā personīga" as the source of this information.
