“Presidential Elections: A Chance for Opposition to Enter Government?”

Are the presidential elections the opposition’s chance to get into the government?

Currently, none of the three candidates nominated for the position of President has convincing support from the Saeima. Considering that there is no consensus on the candidates in the coalition, the votes of the opposition are also needed for the election of the president. Which of the candidates will the opposition support? Is this an opportunity for the opposition to get closer to the government and could there be changes in the coalition? Journalist Alina Lastovska questioned the leaders of the opposition factions – Viktor Valaini (ZZS), Kaspars Briškens (P), Aleksej Roslikov (S!) and Ainars Shleser (LPV) about these issues.
