Majoritatea pro-europeană conduce în alegerile parlamentare din Letonia

The ruling party in Latvia, led by Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, is projected to win the parliamentary elections, maintaining a pro-European stance. Populist parties also performed well amid concerns over Russia and living costs. Kulbergs' party is estimated to secure 35.6% of the votes, indicating a desire for change among voters. However, one coalition partner may not meet the threshold to enter parliament. Security issues have dominated discussions, with Latvia increasing defense spending significantly. Socio-economic challenges, including rising living costs and low wages, have been central to the campaign, potentially boosting populist representation in the parliament.
