Latvia: United List not working to replace government for now

Latvia’s opposition United List will not try to topple the current coalition government for now, Edgars Tavars, chairman of the party’s parliamentary group, said, LETA reports. Speaking in an interview with TV3, Tavars noted that Prime Minister Evika Silina’s government had a “slight advantage” of votes in the parliament, the Saeima. Tavars said that United List would have joined the government had it wanted to. If conditions change, the party will definitely want to engage in talks on forming a new coalition government, he stated.
