AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

New Coalition & Security Priorities: Latvia’s incoming Kulbergs government coalition has signed its agreement, with stabilising security at the top and a pledge to allocate 5% of GDP to defence, ahead of a Saeima vote expected Thursday. Opposition Pushback: Progressives say ZZS control of the Agriculture Ministry is “unacceptable,” pointing to the timber industry case involving former minister Armands Krauze. Border Hardening: Latvia has started deploying anti-mobility “dragon’s teeth” barriers along the expropriated Russian border areas to slow military equipment. Drone Crisis & EU Funding: President Edgars Rinkēvičs urges the EU to fund frontline regions hit by drone incursions, saying alerts are disrupting exams and hurting hospitality. Latvia–Netherlands Drone Cooperation: Latvia and the Netherlands signed a letter of intent to use the Sēlija training range for drone testing and exercises, boosting allied presence. Weather Watch: Gusty northwesterly winds with rain and possible thunderstorms are expected, with Riga under a strong-wind alert. Local Economy: First Latvian strawberries and new potatoes have reached markets, with early prices easing as supply grows. Sports Spotlight: Latvia faces Norway in the IIHF world hockey quarterfinal in Switzerland.
