Why it matters

Latvia is small in population but central to the EU’s eastern-flank politics. Its election is a read on Baltic unity over Russia, Belarus, sanctions, defence spending and border pressure, especially if coalition formation gives nationalist or protest parties leverage.

What to watch

• Coalition viability and continuity on Russia, Belarus and Ukraine policy.
• Russian-language media, disinformation and border-security narratives.
• Fiscal and defence-spending trade-offs in the next coalition programme.
