- Abstract
The article looks at politics in Latvia in 2007. Changes made to the cabinet of Prime Minister Aigars Kalvītis are reviewed, noting the resignations of Minister of Economics Jurjis Strods, Foreign Minister Artis Pabriks, and Minister of Welfare Dagnija Stake. Results for a national referendum on the cancellation of amendments made to the Latvian National Security Law are reviewed. Several major issues in national politics are discussed, including the signing of a border treaty between Latvia and Russia, the arrest of the mayor of Ventspils, Latvia, Aivars Lembergs, and the dismissal of Aleksejs Loskutovs, head of the Anti-corruption Bureau.
