The political scientist answered the host's unexpected question.
The host of TV-24 asked political scientist Philipp Raevsky why none of the party members can tell Evika Silina that she doesn’t need to be a candidate for prime minister. "Who in this party is stronger than her and ready to challenge?! She is the sitting prime minister, and it is logical that her party members support her quite collegially," the political scientist replied. He disagreed with the opinion of another political scientist, Janis Ikstens, who remarked that a stronger candidate for prime minister from 'New Unity' could be the Minister of Foreign Affairs Baiba Broka. "Yes, but there is one nuance - she is a newcomer to politics and has not participated in elections so far. Moreover, according to polls, she is one of the most unpopular foreign ministers in recent history," F. Raevsky responded.
