Laimdota Straujuma is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Laimdota Straujuma as 12th Prime Minister of Latvia (born 1951).
Laimdota Straujuma was born at Mežvidi Parish in 1951. Her recorded nationality is Latvia. She was educated at University of Latvia and Latvian Academy of Sciences.
Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.
She served as Prime Minister of Latvia (2014–2016), Minister of Agriculture (2011–2014) and deputy of Saeima (2014–2014).
Her political affiliation is recorded as Unity and People's Party.
The test of a public life is what remained possible afterwards that had not been possible before.
That the career was made in Latvia is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
Laimdota Straujuma's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
