据Aaron Eglitis报道,拉脱维亚总理安德里斯·库尔贝格斯表示,选民赋予他实施广泛经济改革、削减开支和重建对政治体系信任的授权。
Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said voters gave him a mandate to carry out broad economic changes, cut spending and rebuild trust in the political system.
库尔贝格斯的联合名单在周六的议会选举中赢得了41个席位,这是自1991年以来单一政党获得的最佳成绩。
Kulbergs’s United List won 41 seats in parliamentary elections on Saturday, the best result by a single party since 1991.
然而,他仍需在100个席位的议会中寻找联盟伙伴以获得多数支持才能执政。
Still, he will need to find coalition partners in the 100-member parliament to rule with a majority.
库尔贝格斯周一对拉脱维亚电视台表示:‘这艘船必须转向,而且必须立即行动。
“This ship has to be turned, it has to be done urgently,” Kulbergs told Latvian TV on Monday.
这不仅涉及财政问题,还包括我们如何治理国家、如何管理国有企业以及如何使用资金。’
“And that doesn’t mean only finances, it means how we govern the country, how we manage state-owned companies, how we handle money.”
拉脱维亚总统埃德加斯·林克维奇斯计划于周一和周二与各政党会面,随后可能会提名库尔贝格斯组建下一届政府。
Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics is slated to meet with political parties on Monday and Tuesday before likely nominating Kulbergs to form the next government.
这位47岁的领导人于5月上任,此前政府因对无人机入侵的处理不当而倒台。
The victory is vindication for Kulbergs, 47, who became prime minister in May after the previous government collapsed following a botched response to a drone incursion.
作为欧盟和北约成员国,拉脱维亚自2022年2月俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京发动全面入侵以来一直是乌克兰最坚定的支持者之一。
The Baltic country, a member of the European Union and NATO, is one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion in February 2022.
