The Latvian prime minister's centrist coalition is strengthened by its victory in the parliamentary elections

In Latvia, the centrist coalition led by Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs has secured a victory in the legislative elections. Official results, with the majority of ballots counted, indicate that the United List coalition has emerged as the country's primary political force, garnering 35.3% of the vote. This outcome reinforces the current administration's position within the national government.

Separately, in the Dominican Republic, tensions have escalated following a CONCACAF Nations League match between the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Haiti defeated the Dominican team 4-1 at the Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium, effectively eliminating the Dominican Republic from quarterfinal contention. Following reports of civil disorder at the stadium entrances during the event, the Dominican Minister of Sports, Kelvin Cruz, announced a ban on Haiti playing future matches within Dominican stadiums.
