  • Latvia’s parliament backed Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs’s new government by 66 votes to 25 on Thursday, formally installing the four-party alliance.
  • The vote followed the collapse of the previous coalition in a dispute over drone incursions, clearing the way for former businessman Kulbergs to become premier.
  • The new alliance takes office just five months before Latvia is due to hold its next parliamentary elections, giving the government a short runway to stabilize politics.
