Latvian Prime Minister Karins Resigns

Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins has announced his resignation, along with the rest of his government, after his proposed Cabinet reshuffle was rejected by his coalition partners. Karins had been pushing to widen the coalition to include other parties, but his partners expressed reservations. They blocked his choice for ministerial posts and policy projects, leading Karins to choose between working with the current coalition or building a new one. His party plans to select a new candidate for prime minister, and a vote in parliament would be necessary for any new coalition to take office.
