LW #171: Expensive Energy and News from July 19th - 26th, 2022

The election of Edgars Rinkēvičš as president has led to questions about the current coalition and whether or not it will stay as is, invite in opposition parties, or be replaced with a new alliance of parties that voted for the president-elect. Otto and Joe break down this political puzzle along with other major stories such as the largest ever pride parade, heat taken by the mayor of Rīga for displaying pride flags on public buildings, a possible measure to close supermarkets on Sundays, a threat from the teacher's union to call for Minister Čakša's resignation, and more!
