Is "For Stability!" Finished?

The Saeima faction of the party "For Stability!" has essentially disbanded, with only four deputies remaining following the mass exodus from the party.

The party "For Stability!" in Latvia is facing a significant crisis as its Saeima faction has nearly collapsed, leaving just four deputies officially in the party after a mass departure. This follows the recent departure of key figures, including Valērijs Petrovs, a long-time associate of the party leader Aleksejs Rosļikovs, from the faction in the Riga City Council. This situation raises questions about the viability and future of the party as it struggles to maintain its political influence.

In 2022, the party had a total of 11 deputies elected to Saeima, but the wave of resignations began with Glorija Grevcova in March 2023. Grevcova left due to frustrations over the party's lack of support during investigations into her conduct by the Central Election Commission. Her departure was just the beginning, as the party has continued to see its ranks dwindle as deputies either resign or distance themselves from the party's leadership, suggesting a loss of confidence in the political agenda and direction the party has chosen.

The implications of this decline are significant for the political landscape in Latvia, where the fate of smaller parties often hinges on such crises. The disbanding faction not only impacts the party hierarchy but also affects its representation and influence in Saeima. Observers are left wondering whether this marks the end of "For Stability!" as a meaningful political entity, or if it can somehow regroup and redefine its objectives in a rapidly changing political environment.
