Kulbergs ends second round of government talks, to present financial vision tomorrow
Prime minister candidate Andris Kulbergs of the Unified List concluded the second round of government-formation talks on 9 November with New Unity, the Progressives and the National Alliance. He will present his view on state finances at the Cabinet of Ministers tomorrow at midday.
The second round of government-formation talks in Latvia ended on 9 November. Andris Kulbergs, the prime minister candidate from the Unified List, met with New Unity, the Progressives and the National Alliance. The outcome matters because these talks will help determine which coalition and which public finance measures will shape the next government.
After meeting New Unity, Kulbergs said he had expected more concrete proposals for reducing government spending. He gave the same assessment of the Progressives, saying he had also hoped to hear more concrete austerity proposals from that party.
He praised the National Alliance, by contrast, for being well prepared for the talks. According to him, the party presented several proposals both on the economy and on national priorities.
Kulbergs' own proposal not yet detailed
Kulbergs has so far not publicly set out his own proposal for the country's growth in detail. After today's talks, he said such information would be available tomorrow at midday at the Cabinet of Ministers, where he will give a presentation. There he will explain in more detail the Unified List's view of the state of public finances and the measures needed to improve it.
