Эвика Силиня

"Before 'New Unity' stands another very difficult task – to nominate a new leader. Less than four months before the elections. Doesn't this remind you of anything? Let's recall the 2024 presidential elections in the USA, when Joe Biden was replaced during the campaign by the hastily nominated Kamala Harris. The result of this hasty shuffle is also known – a failure. Currently, the chairperson of the board of 'New Unity' is Evika Siliņa. Politics is cruel. She is a broken card. The potential first candidate – Foreign Minister Baiba Braže – is not even a member of the 'New Unity' board. She holds no position in the party association." "As is sometimes the case in sports, the chances of advancing from the group stage after a heavy loss depend not so much on one's own future successes, but rather on the results of other teams' games. In this specific case, the chances of 'New Unity' on October 3 (to overcome the 5% barrier) will depend more on whether 'United List' and Kulbergs create any mess and whether they stumble over flat ground, like Siliņa. Moreover, 'New Unity' can sabotage and throw as many obstacles in Kulbergs' way as they want..." "Different pitfalls and mines covered with a thin layer of sand are scattered all over the area. Talks about budget revisions are purely a minefield. Both 'Baltics' – rail and air – will not even be mentioned. Not to mention the black swans that can arrive at any moment. But, regardless of all this, everything is in the hands of Kulbergs and his team."
