October 8th, 2026: Kulberg's Historic Weekend, It's Not Easy Being Green(s and Farmers), Air Baltic Layoffs, and Bothersome Bridges

Dela

With the 15th Saeima Election done and dusted, Joe breaks down the final results, including Andris Kulbergs' historic victory at the top of the United List ticket, a big not not quite big enough night for Ainars Šlesers's LPV party, dissapointment for the Progressives and New Unity, disaster for the Union of Greens and Farmers, and the likely last gasps of Harmony and JKP. Other stories include planned layoffs at Air Baltic, more planned bridge renovation, and a renewed focus on mental health by public media.
