Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina has resigned, bringing the entire government with her.
elchi reports that she announced this at a briefing for journalists.
“I am resigning, but I am not giving up and I am not leaving. New Unity and I will continue to fulfill the promises we made to the people of Latvia and to everyone for whom we defend European values,” she said.
