President Edgars Rinkēvičs has stated that the question of Interior Minister Jānis Dombrava's letter to Spain is closed. He made the statement during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs at the Jūrmala residence. The letter concerned the border crisis in Ceuta. Rinkēvičs stressed that the matter does not need to be pursued further.
Dombrava, who represents the National Alliance, serves as Latvia's interior minister. The president's assessment was delivered at a press conference attended by both top officials. According to Rinkēvičs, the issue should be considered resolved, and no additional steps are necessary. The letter had been sent to Spain regarding the events in Ceuta. Dombrava's role as interior minister places him at the head of the country's internal affairs, and his correspondence with Spanish officials has now been evaluated by the president.
Rinkēvičs made clear that, in his view, the matter is no longer open. The joint appearance in Jūrmala provided an opportunity for the president and the prime minister to address the subject. The president's remarks indicate that he does not see a reason to revisit the letter or to initiate any further procedure concerning it. He described the question as one that can be closed, rather than one that remains pending.
The president's position was expressed in a clear and direct manner. He did not suggest any need for additional discussions or decisions. As a result, the issue appears to be concluded at the highest level of state leadership. The letter itself was related to the border situation in Ceuta, and the president's statement confirms that, in his assessment, no further action is required from the authorities.
