Latvians go to the polls this Saturday, October 3, 2026, to renew their Parliament, with fourteen party lists and nearly 1,400 candidates competing for 100 seats, reports RFI.
In this neighboring country, defense and security issues dominate the electoral debate, with a broad consensus to fund these sectors, notes RFI’s correspondent in the Baltic states.
Moreover, societal issues are also central, particularly following demonstrations in support of the Istanbul Convention, which protects women’s rights.
At the end of the vote, the distribution of political forces will determine the new government coalition, concludes RFI.
