Will Edgars Zalans become Latvias new head of government?
Today, the little-known Latvian politician Edgars Zalans of the People’s Party, who may well become the country’s next head of government, is meeting Latvian President Valdis Zatlers. Zatlers, too, was relatively unknown until his election a few months ago. Laila Pakalnina comments: “Today Zatlers must decide whether he will instruct Zalans to form a new government. But both politicians must also decide whether they have more in common than just the first letter of their surnames.
