(No Ratings Yet)
In the second phase of government-formation talks, New Conservative party offered National Alliance ‘All for Latvia!’ – ‘For Fatherland and Freedom/LNNK’ to work in the forming coalition, said NA co-chairman Raivis Dzintars.
On Friday, 12 October, NCP discussed one of the possible coalition models with NA. Dzintars did not comment on details of the offer presented at this meeting, however.
The politician said talks are progressing. Nevertheless, there are still too many unknowns. He added that NA plans to consider NCP’s offer.
Political parties continue holding talks with each other in regards to formation of the new government.
On Friday NCP planned to meet with KPV LV, Attīstībai/Par!, National Alliance and New Unity. KPV LV, however, decided to first meet with all parties before discussing affairs with NCP again.
KPV LV and New Unity will be holding a meeting today. Attīstībai/Par! will also hold meetings with New Unity and Union of Greens and Farmers today.
NCP has met with all parties except for Concord. NCP has announced that it will not work in the same government with Concord or UGF.
