In the cooperation agreement of the future government of Prime Minister candidate Andris Kulbergs, the parties commit to maintaining strict discipline, and partners will not cover up or justify various violations even for the sake of coalition stability or political affiliation; this commitment is expressed in the coalition agreement developed by the parties.
The coalition agreement of the future government of Kulbergs emphasizes that the goal is to ensure the implementation of the government declaration, focusing on a limited number of priorities that can be realized during the 14th Saeima, while simultaneously guaranteeing coordinated and fiscally responsible work of the government.
The partners commit to work "in the spirit of mutual respect, trust, and collegiality, and to resolve disagreements through consultations, avoiding public communication actions that could undermine public trust in the government."
In the government of the resigned Prime Minister Evika Silina ("New Unity"), violations of the coalition agreement were a regular occurrence, especially in the last six months, but there were no real consequences for such violations; the parties merely exchanged accusations and continued to work. It is likely that this could not continue for too long.
The cooperation agreement of the future government of Kulbergs emphasizes the shared political responsibility for the decisions made and their explanation to the public, as well as the obligation to adhere to the principles of democracy, the rule of law, and state security, including Latvia's Euro-Atlantic course.
It is noted that there will be no tolerance for offenses, conflicts of interest, or corrupt actions within the coalition. The agreement stipulates that such situations will not be tolerated in the name of political considerations or coalition stability.
The cooperation agreement is a political agreement that is binding for all partners along with the government declaration and will remain in effect until the end of the term of the respective government, according to the document.
One would very much like to believe that all points of this document will be fulfilled and not just remain on paper.
