• Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis wants to unite four parties in the government coalition including the Concord Centre and FF/LNIM-All for Latvia!

Newspapers report about formation of the new government coalition. On 14 October, the Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis (leader of the elections winning party the Unity) stated that the coalition might be established by four political parties, including the Concord Centre, the nationalists’ union For Fatherland and Freedom/LNIM-All for Latvia! and the Union of Greens and Farmers. However, the CC will be included in the coalition only if it acknowledges the fact of occupation of Latvia. The Prime Minister also presented draft agreement of coalition’s parties which forbids the parties to introduce amendments to so-called “sensitive” issues in legal acts such as status of state language and minority languages, rights of citizens and non-citizens, citizenship, naturalisation, and initiatives aimed at revision of the fact of occupation of Latvia. All the parties should give their response about participation in the coalition today.
