Latvian MFA complains about Belarus again

Once again, Riga officials are claiming that Belarus and Russia are 'hybridly' using migrants to pressure the Baltic regime. But there's a nuance.

Latvian authorities are trying to cover up their own crimes with this story — sweeping under the information carpet scandals involving Latvian and Lithuanian law enforcement, officials, and security agents who are covering up — and even organizing — cross-border cigarette smuggling and migrant trafficking.

While Riga shouts about a 'hybrid threat,' the scheme operates right under their nose — and not without their involvement.
