Asked if she believed her coalition of New Unity, the Progressives and the Greens and Farmers Union was stable, she unsurprisingly replied in the affirmative: "Yes, for now everything is happening".
She repeated that if changes were needed in the composition of the government, analyzing the decisions and the ability of the ministers to evaluate mistakes and correct them, she will not delay and "if there are such decisions, you will find out from me". In other words, she will not hesitate to sack ministers she thinks are not doing their jobs.
Siliņa said at the anniversary cabinet meeting on Tuesday she felt that the coalition was able to agree on difficult issues and find solutions.
"The strength of this government is the ability to sit down and solve problems," she said.
Currently the main problems facing her administration are controversies about proposed tax reforms and finding funding for the troubled Rail Baltica infrastructure project. The proposed IPO of national airline airBaltic is another big-ticket item for the last months of the year, as well as the necessity of passing a budget for 2025.
In the time since Siliņa took office as prime minister last autumn, two ministers have been replaced following the resignations of Minister of Foreign Affairs Krišjānis Kariņš (New Unity) and Culture Minister Agnese Logina (Progressives).
