Latvia’s government resigns as new parliament convenes

The resignation is a procedural formality rather than a crisis: Latvian law keeps the Kulbergs cabinet in place as a caretaker until a new government secures a parliamentary confidence vote, so administrative continuity is preserved. The practical significance lies in the formation talks now beginning among the newly sworn-in lawmakers, since the caretaker's authority is inherently limited. How long the caretaker arrangement lasts, and which coalition configuration emerges from the 15th Saeima, is the open question worth watching.
