Over a million euros in compensation: Which deputies received the most?

Members of the Latvian parliament have collectively received over one million euros in compensation during the current term, with the majority of funds allocated to cover housing rental expenses. This figure is consistent with previous parliamentary terms, where the 13th Saeima disbursed slightly less than one million euros and the 12th Saeima paid out 1.2 million euros.

Līga Kozlovska, a member of the Union of Greens and Farmers, has received the largest housing compensation, totaling just under 33,000 euros for renting an apartment in Riga over three and a half years. Her party colleague Līga Kļaviņa, from the Jēkabpils region, received nearly 31,000 euros. Ramona Petraviča from the "Latvia First" party, who hails from the Saldus region, and Mārtiņš Felss from "New Unity," also from the Jēkabpils region, follow with compensations of 27,000 euros each for apartment rentals.

Some deputies receive only housing rental compensation, while others claim only transportation allowances, and some receive both. When all compensations are tallied, Līga Kozlovska, Ramona Petraviča, and Līga Kļaviņa have received the highest overall amounts, with 39,000 euros, 36,000 euros, and 35,000 euros compensated, respectively, according to media reports.
