The ZZS party, currently part of the ruling government in Latvia, is contemplating demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Krišjānis Siliņa. This consideration arises in light of a critical review by civil services regarding the government's past support for forestry workers, which has led to significant scrutiny of the government's decision-making processes. Siliņa recently alluded to potentially asking for the resignation of Agriculture Minister Armands Krauze in connection with this matter, setting off a chain of reactions among the officials.

In response to suggestions of his resignation, Minister Krauze stated that if any officials should resign over the controversial support decision, it would be the whole government, as the decisions were collectively made by all ministers involved. This reflects an environment of mutual accountability among government members where blame is not singular but shared. His statements criticize those who fail to comprehend the documents related to the decisions, thereby indicating a deeper issue of accountability and governance within the administration.

The government has chosen to hold off on immediate actions regarding the recommendations for support, as they await further checks from the General Prosecutor’s Office and an audit from the State Audit Office. The overall situation highlights growing tensions within the ruling coalition and raises questions about its stability, especially since prominent party members, such as Brigmanis, have now suggested that Siliņa’s resignation could also be on the table, a threat that could have significant implications for government stability going forward.
