Nations in Transit 2017. Latvia

0
0
There were no major political, economic or social shifts in Latvia in 2016, and the country remains a consolidated democracy.

The idea of direct presidential elections that were on the agenda in early 2015 are no longer discussed after failing to find support among most of the parties in the parliament. The success of populists in other Western democracies has provoked fears of the phenomenon in Latvia, but what populism there is in the country has not widely expressed itself during the year, for example in the adoption of the national budget in November or towards ethnic minorities in the country.
