People in Lettland vote for a new parliament today. 1,5 million citizens can vote. They vote for 100 seats in the Saeima. This is the parliament in Riga. 14 parties join the vote. Experts think many parties enter parliament. This makes a new government hard to build.
Andris Kulbergs is the head of the government. His team is ahead in polls. He helps Ukraine a lot. Lettland is a member of the EU and the NATO. The country shares a border with Russia. Many people worry about safety. There were problems with drones from Russia recently.
Germany helps Lettland to protect the air. The army sends jets. Lettland spends much money on defense. But the country has other problems too. Food and energy prices are very high. Many people earn only a little money. The health system needs more help too.
