Kulbergs Begins Talks on Forming New Latvian Government
After a pause of more than three weeks following the 15th Saeima elections, Andris Kulbergs is starting talks with potential coalition partners. He has indicated he plans changes to how the Cabinet and the Saeima operate.
Andris Kulbergs, who is forming Latvia's new government after the parliamentary elections, begins talks with potential coalition partners this week. The talks follow a pause of more than three weeks after the "Apvienotais saraksts" (United List) won the 15th Saeima elections convincingly.
Coalition talks are a key step, as their outcome determines which parties will make up the next government and how it will work.
Planned changes
On Tuesday, 28 October, Kulbergs signalled that he plans several changes to the work of both the Cabinet of Ministers and the Saeima, Latvia's parliament. The source does not detail these changes, so the specific proposals are not yet known.
The topic was covered by the LSM programme and article "Kas notiek Latvijā?" (What Is Happening in Latvia?), which looked at Kulbergs's efforts to form a new government and his plans.
