When Berzins returns to the Saeima, MEP Kristovskis / Day will lose the mandate

Jurēvics said he was highly valued by Berzina’s decision to resign. In his view, this demonstrates her political maturity and « meets the standards of Western democracy ».

Jurēvics believes that Berzina, in the performance of the minister, made many significant and difficult decisions, including leading the ministry in a challenging time. He particularly highlighted her role in the progress of the dismissal process of the Rezekne City Council, which was later recognized as legitimate in the Constitutional Court. He thanked Berzina on behalf of the JV faction for their work and responsible management.

The leader of the JV faction estimated that Berzina is likely to return to the Saeima, and the faction is pleased to return to her return, as her previous contribution is considered to be particularly significant and invaluable.

It has already been reported that Berzina has resigned on Wednesday and Prime Minister Evika Siliņa (JV) has accepted the resignation.

The Prime Minister highlighted that Berzina was an experienced politician and had chosen such a step, given that he was responsible for the technical side of the elections, including the National Digital Development Agency (VDAA).

As reported, counting votes in the 2025 local elections on Saturday and night on Sunday faced technical problems. Problems in polling stations, facing technical problems were also during the week when the previous voting took place.

At present, the service test of votes has not begun, as it is initially necessary to collect all the necessary and accessible information about what happened, Raivis Kronbergs, director of the State Chancellery, said journalists on Monday.

He said that last week he had « had such a confidence » that everything would work properly because there was no indication that something could go wrong. « If we weren’t convinced of that, we would have made decisions faster, » he added and once again stressed that there was no indication that « the system could not pull ».
