Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina resigns after drone incidents

May 16, 2026

Riga [Latvia], May 16: Latvian centre-right Prime Minister Evika Silina has announced her resignation, after the Progressives Party, her left-leaning coalition partner, pulled support from the government and left her without a majority. "I am resigning, but I am not giving up," Silina, who has been prime minister since 2023, said in a televised statement.
Her resignation came days after Latvia's Defence Minister Andris Spruds, from the Progressives Party, was forced to resign over the government's handling of several incidents involving stray drones suspected to be from Ukraine crossing into Latvian territory. Silina said at the time that Spruds had lost her trust and that of the public. (DPA)
