LW #206: New Coalition and News from September 6th - 14th, 2023

"Jauns" is the Latvian word of the week as Otto and Joe discuss the newly agreed upon coalition before taking a look at a number of important stories from regions all over Latvia, such as Valmiera's local government under investigation for corruption, an eye-raising 1.7 million euro playground in Ogre, a requirement for all municipalities to have their own local police forces, and much more! They also celebrate the Latvian men's basketball team's historic success at the FIBA world cup.
