Šlesers: Latvia First Ready to Back Kulbergs' Minority Government
Ainārs Šlesers has said his party Latvia First is ready to support the minority government of Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs. He made the statement on Latvian Television's programme "Kas notiek Latvijā?".
Politician Ainārs Šlesers and his party, Latvia First ("Latvija pirmajā vietā"), are prepared to support the minority government led by Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs of the United List ("Apvienotais saraksts").
Šlesers stated this position on the Latvian Television programme "Kas notiek Latvijā?" ("What Is Happening in Latvia?").
What is known
The announcement concerns a government that lacks a secure majority in parliament and therefore needs the backing of other political forces to function. The party's leader himself reported its readiness to provide such support.
The available information does not say on what terms or in what form the support might be given. For now, only the readiness to back the government led by Kulbergs has been made public.
