On Monday, the partners will unanimously support the bills included in the so-called budget package.
As reported, the government will hold an extraordinary meeting next Monday to adopt some of the bills related to the budget. So, the ruling parties have agreed to initiate amendments to the laws that will tighten the conditions for retirement based on length of service - this includes raising the retirement age based on length of service and increasing the required years of service to qualify for such a pension.
Despite the very poor atmosphere in the coalition, the partners still want to continue working in the Silina government for now. This means that all coalition deputies will conceptually support the budget-related bills in the Saeima next week.
However, this does not mean that peace has come to power... The war of nerves in the coalition will continue, according to unofficial information. Confirmation of this is the second 'attack' by the Progressive party on the ministers from the Union of Greens and Farmers - first, Minister of Economics Viktor Valainis was summoned for explanations regarding the rise in prices, and on Friday, the Progressives demanded that Minister of Agriculture Armands Krauze present a detailed report on the spending of the Forest Development Fund. This year, the Fund was allocated 1.3 million euros from the budget.
It is clear that the 'green farmers' will not remain silent and will soon 'raise claims' against the ministers from the Progressive party.
In addition, the 'green farmers' are determined to adopt the bill on Latvia's withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention in its final reading by the beginning of November.
Prime Minister Evika Silina has not yet managed to 'calm' her partners.
