On the evening of Monday, September 25, in the “Today’s Question” program of Latvian Television, the new Speaker of the Saeima Daiga Mieriņa (ZZS) explained what challenges she expects in her responsible position.
Speaking about becoming the Speaker of the Saeima, Mieriņa claimed that she did not have a conscious strategy. “These events developed so quickly that it just happened that we had to quickly figure out what we could push. Colleagues decided that in this case I would be the best option,” said Mieriņa.
Regarding the pre-election rhetoric, Daiga Mieriņa commented that in the atmosphere of the pre-elections, everyone was fighting to get into the Saeima, the Mieriņa party positioned itself as good hosts. “Of course, you can look at it differently, I also look at it differently now,” Mieriņa added.
Mieriņa admitted that it would probably be better if each candidate could be discussed more.
Asked to comment on the next steps of ZZS regarding Aivaras Lembergs, Mieriņa said that the court’s verdict should be waited for. “There will definitely be a discussion in the faction about what to do next. I won’t be the only one who decides about it,” explained Mieriņa.
