Latvian politics is really complex, but the international media is only interested in whether parties are pro-Ukraine or pro-Russia, which does make it somewhat easier.

Pro-Ukraine governing coalition wins 35% in Latvian election

Latvian lawmakers plan to start negotiations to form a new government after a parliamentary election.

Latvian PM Kulbergs' party achieves a historic victory, pushing populists to the margins

With 35.3% of the vote, an unprecedented result for any political party since 1990 in the country, the centrist, pro-European and pro-Ukrainian leader can now form a coalition without the populists.

The big winner of the election is pro-Ukraine, which makes everyone happy. The party is also part of the far-right ECR in Brussels…

The next three parties all seem to be different versions of far right.

With almost all votes counted, Latvians have given a rare landslide to the United List of Andris Kulbergs.

Of most interest to international followers:

Kulbergs is very pro-Ukraine, NATO, Europe. He’s clear Ukraine must win, not just survive, and that Europe must step up to ensure its security.

🎯Another important good step is done :
#Europe #FBPE #FBR
Populists left trailing far behind 👏

Pro-European party wins by a surprisingly large margin in the #Latvian election

#AndrisKulbergs, Prime Minister of #Latvia, had not expected his party to achieve such a strong result.
