For Stability!

Establishment (2021)

The For Stability - Yes! (Stabilitātei - Jā!) group was founded in the winter of 2021. It was founded by two former Riga councilors elected from the list of the Social Democratic Party "Harmony": Aleksejs Rosļikovs and Valērijs Petrovs. In the early 2020 Riga City Council election, both councilors stood on the list of the Alternative party, which did not win seats in the council.^[10] At the end of the ten days set aside for collecting signatures, a total of 315 people participated in the founding of the party. At the time of its founding, the party had 647 members.^[11] The party's establishment was voted unanimously, and the party was officially founded on 26 February 2021.^[12]

The group's leaders emphasized that they would build a political party free of sponsors, which would contribute to the stabilization of the state as its main task. They also announced that they would run in the local elections in 2021. They chose Law and Order and the Republic as the closest groups.^[10]

13th Saeima (2022–2026)

The party ran in the 2022 Latvian parliamentary election. It named Aleksejs Rosļikovs as the candidate for prime minister. Among others, it advocated for leaving the European Union, developing a sovereign economic policy, and direct presidential elections. Its programme also called for reforms to taxation and the education system. Additionally, it supported extending voting rights to non-citizens and has proposed prosecuting current and former politicians over their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, without speciying the legal mechanisms. The party promoted significant changes to the state's governance and electoral system and positioned itself as more radical than the Harmony party in pursuing what it saw as the restoration of Latvian independence.^[13]

The party gained 62,168 or 6.8% of the votes, which gave them 11 seats in the 14th Saeima filled by Aleksejs Rosļikovs, Svetlana Čulkova [lv], Glorija Grevcova, Iļja Ivanovs [lv], Igors Judins [lv], Jefimijs Klementjevs, Dmitrijs Kovaļenko [lv], Nataļja Marčenko-Jodko [lv], Viktorija Pleškāne [lv], Viktors Pučka [lv] and Nadežda Tretjakova [lv].^[14] The party's election performance was described by Public Broadcasting of Latvia as, perhaps, "the most spectacular success of the night" pointing to its seeming success in attracting a large numer of previous Harmony voters.^[15] On 2 November, 2022, less than an hour after giving the Saeima member oath, MP Nadežda Tretjakova renounced her parliamentary mandate due to "unexpected family conditions" and was replaced by Jekaterina Dorošķeviča [lv].^[16]

On 20 December 2022, The State Security Service issued a warning to the party over statements made by its members Aleksejs Rosļikovs and Glorija Grevcova to Russian and Belarusian propaganda outlets, saying such actions may violate Latvia's Law on Political Parties and could lead to legal action, including possible termination of the party's activities.^[17]

On 17 March, 2023 Saeima deputy Glorija Grevcova who was convicted of providing false information about her education and work history to the Central Election Commission left the "For Stability!" party and its Saeima faction.^[18][19] After her appeal to the Supreme Court was rejected, Grevcova was subsequently expelled from the Saeima on 15 February 2024^[20] and replaced by Amils Saļimovs [lv] on February 22.^[21]

In July 2024, Riga City Council member Yakov Pliner who had left Latvian Russian Union in 2022 and long-time "Harmony" politician Nikolai Kabanov [lv; ru] joined "For Stability!".^[22]

On 2 July 2025, "For Stability!" MPs were denied an excused absence from a 5 June Saeima sitting after leaving the chamber in protest following leader Aleksejs Rosļikovs' expulsion for offensive and aggressive behaviour, and had 20% of their monthly salary deducted. The MPs said their presence was no longer possible "due to a lack of respect for opposition representatives and psychological pressure,” while Speaker of the Saeima Daiga Mieriņa argued they had shirked their duties and backed Rosļikovs' "disrespect for the Latvian state, its citizens and the Saeima," calling it "unjustifiable."^[23]

Six of the "For Stability!" MPs have been invited for Latvian language tests by the Latvian State Language Center, a move the party's leader Rosļikovs called a "politically committed affair." Two of the MPs attended and passed the language tests, Nataļja Marčenko-Jodko [lv] and Dmitrijs Kovaļenko [lv] didn't attend, were fined, appealed the fine and lost the appeal, while Jefimijs Klementjevs and Viktors Pučka were fined either for insufficient use of the national language or failing to comply with official requests and paid the fines.^[24]

On 12 August 2025, MP Viktors Pučka resigned^[25] and on 4 September was replaced by Jeļena Kļaviņa [lv] who immediately left the party's faction due to differing views and the faction's working style, as did MP Jekaterina Drelinga [lv]. Chairwoman of the "For Stability!" faction Svetlana Čulkova attributed their departure to the "unprecedented pressure" on the party from both the security services and the political environment.^[26] On 14 August 2025, Riga City Council member Mairis Briedis left the political faction.^[27]

On 10 February 2026, MPs Iļja Ivanovs [lv], Igors Judins [lv], and Amils Saļimovs [lv] left the party, reducing its Saeima faction to five members from the original 11.^[28] On 18 February, MP Dmitrijs Kovaļenko [lv] also left, which resulted in the disbanding of the "For Stability!" parliamentary faction.^[29]
