AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoGovernment Shake-Up: Latvia’s President Edgars Rinkēvičs has nominated opposition lawmaker Andris Kulbergs to form a new government after PM Evika Siliņa resigned, following a coalition collapse tied to how Latvia’s armed forces handled a Ukrainian drone incursion. Rinkēvičs says Kulbergs has his “full support,” with a May 25 deadline to show progress toward a majority coalition. Security & NATO Context: The drone crisis is feeding wider alarm about air-defence gaps across NATO’s eastern flank, while NATO is also testing new counter-drone and uncrewed concepts in exercises across northern Latvia. Eurovision Fallout: Latvia is out of the final after Atvara failed to qualify, but the weekend’s big stage moment was Bulgaria winning Eurovision in Vienna with “Bangaranga,” while the UK’s “Look Mum No Computer” landed on the wrong side of the scoreboard. Sports: Latvia’s national hockey team opened the IIHF World Championship with a 2–4 loss to Switzerland, with their next match against Germany on May 17.
