Andris Bartaševičs

Andris Bartaševičs is the current chairman of the Rēzekne City Council in Latvia, who has recently been in the news for being urged by political figure Ainārs Šlesers to lead the Latgale list for the upcoming Saeima elections. Bartaševičs faces significant challenges, including the requirement to resign from his mayoral position due to not receiving a security clearance for state secrets, as well as ongoing legal issues related to allegations of revealing restricted information and failing to declare foreign assets in his official declarations over a 16-year period.
