Prime Minister Evika Silina resigned on 14 May after the Progressives withdrew support from her government, following the resignation of Defence Minister Andris Spruds over the handling of the 7 May drone crashes. Silina said political jealousy and narrow party interests had taken precedence over responsibility. Her government stayed on as caretaker while President Edgars Rinkevics consulted parliamentary factions.
