As reported, the prime minister suggested to the 'Progressives' to continue cooperation in the ruling coalition after negotiations. Silina noted that the 'Progressives' did not communicate their decision regarding further cooperation during the negotiations, as they want to consult further. The prime minister proposed that her candidate for the position of Minister of Defense, Raivis Melnis, could become a candidate put forward by the entire coalition. As reported, after Silina's decision to dismiss the 'Progressives' representative, Minister of Defense Andris Spruds, the party stated that the prime minister is not capable of responsibly leading the government. The 'Progressives' proposed that the prime minister meet before announcing a final decision on further actions. Today, a meeting took place between the 'Progressives', the prime minister, and her candidate for the ministerial position, Melnis. The decision to demand Spruds' resignation was made by the prime minister after incidents involving drones in Latgale, citing a loss of trust in the minister and problems in the sector. For his part, Spruds announced his resignation, taking political responsibility for the incidents and trying to prevent the armed forces from being drawn into political games.
