On Thursday, 20June, the Saeima gave vote of confidence in the Minister of Culture Agnese Lāce.

Before her appointment to the post of Minister, Agnese Lāce was the Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, and also worked in several public and international organisations.

Lāce holds a master's degree in political science from the University of Latvia, as well as a master's degree in international migration and social cohesion from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, the Deusto University in Spain and the University of Osnabrück in Germany.

A new minister had to be approved because the former Minister of Culture, Agnese Logina, resigned.
