Vjaceslavs Dombrovskis drops out of politics in Latvia

BC, Riga, 23.04.2015.Print version
Saeima MP Vjaceslavs Dombrovskis, both a former minister of education and minister of economy, announced yesterday that he is exiting the political arena – as of April 23, 2015, informs LETA.

"Tomorrow (April 23rd) is my last day. I return to academics," Dombrovskis declared.

 

Although not officially a member of Unity, he was elected to parliament on the party's ticket. After the elections, he did not pass in the Saeima, but received parliamentary mandate instead of Janis Reirs, who was appointed a Minister of Finance.

Before entering politics, Dombrovskis was a researcher of the Baltic International Centre for Economic Policy and associate professor at the Riga Graduate School of Economics.
