Riga: Latvian center-right Prime Minister Evika Silina announced her resignation Thursday, according to the Baltic News Service.
Her resignation came after the left-wing Progressive Party, part of the governing coalition, said Wednesday it was withdrawing its support for the government, leaving Silina without a majority.
Last week, Latvia’s Defence Minister Andris Spruds, from the Progressive Party, was forced to resign over the government’s handling of multiple incidents involving stray Ukrainian drones crossing into Latvian territory.
