Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins has announced his impending resignation




Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins has announced his impending resignation, scheduled for later this week, alongside the entire government. The move comes as Karins aims to address internal challenges and reconfigure the current coalition government.

Karins, the leader of the liberal-conservative New Unity party, has been advocating for a broader coalition that includes the Alliance of Farmers and Greens and the left-leaning Progressives. However, his efforts have faced resistance from his current coalition partners—the conservative National Alliance and the center-right electoral alliance United List.

The trigger for Karins' decision was the rejection of his proposed Cabinet reshuffle by his coalition partners. Last week, both the National Alliance and United List declined to approve Karins' selections for ministerial positions and policy initiatives, including work and welfare policies crucial for economic growth.


In a statement, Karins expressed frustration that the coalition partners were obstructing vital policy plans and hindering economic progress. He indicated that he was left with a choice between continuing with the existing coalition or pursuing the creation of a new one.


The resignation announcement also revealed that Karins' party intends to nominate a new candidate for the prime minister's role, with the selection process slated for the following Wednesday. For this candidate to take office, Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics would need to grant a mandate, followed by a parliamentary vote.


The unexpected move highlights the challenges within Latvia's political landscape and the complexities of coalition dynamics. While the next parliamentary election is not due until 2026, the government reshuffling underscores the delicate balance required for effective governance in the Baltic nation, which shares borders with Russia and Belarus.
