Rosļikovs explains why deputies are leaving 'Stabilitātei!'

Aleksejs Rosļikovs, leader of the party 'Stabilitātei!', attributes the departure of several deputies to disagreements over Ukraine and alleged pressure from intelligence agencies, while asserting that this will not jeopardize the party's participation in the upcoming Saeima elections.

Aleksejs Rosļikovs, the leader of the party 'Stabilitātei!', has provided an explanation for the recent departures of several deputies from the party’s factions, linking it to internal disagreements regarding Ukraine-related issues and what he describes as pressure from intelligence services aimed at undermining the party. He specifically noted that the departure of Rīga council member Valērijs Petrovs is clearly tied to these Ukraine discussions, expressing understanding of his decision without raising further questions.

Moreover, Rosļikovs commented on the resignations from the parliamentary factions by deputies Iļja Ivanovs, Igors Judins, and Amils Saļimovs, indicating that the party is currently undergoing "difficult times." He accuses various agencies of actively working against 'Stabilitātei!', suggesting a systematic effort to destabilize the party which has been a pattern in Latvian politics where multiple parties have faced similar fates at the hands of these intelligence services. This framing of the issue positions the party not merely as a participant in regular political disputes, but as a victim of darker forces at play.

Ultimately, despite these challenges, Rosļikovs reassured supporters that he believes the party’s participation in the upcoming Saeima elections this autumn will remain secure. His firm stance hints at a strategy to rally remaining members and supporters against what he perceives as unjust treatment, which potentially resonates with voters who may feel similarly targeted by political elites or outside influences.
