"The final decision will be made by the new deputies, but I think that, considering both the volume of expenses and the volume of problems that need to be addressed in next year's budget, as well as other aspects, this is justified," said Rinkēvičs after a meeting with Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs. It has already been reported that Kulbergs, by resolution, instructed the Ministry of Finance to prepare a proposal for freezing rewards while preparing the budget project and framework for 2027.
