Latvia PM resigns over supermarket roof collapse
Latvia’s prime minister has announced his resignation over a
Riga supermarket collapse that killed more than 50 people last week. Dombrovskis
has headed the country’s government since March 2009, making him the
longest-serving prime minister in Latvia's history. It is now for
President Andris Berzins to either accept or reject the resignation. If he
accepts it, Berzins will nominate an acting prime minister, who will be tasked
with forming a new cabinet. Prime minister's resignation also ends the
mandate of his government, which faced criticism following the
collapse. Fifty-four people have been killed and dozens injured after the
roof of a large store collapsed in Latvia’s capital.
