Rinkēvičs: CSDD leadership should not stay on after cyberattack

Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs stated on social media platform X that the leadership of the Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) should not continue in its position following a recent cyberattack on the institution.

The president said that both the agency's reputation and public trust in it have been undermined as a result of the incident. In his view, under such circumstances the institution's leadership should not remain in office.
