For Latvia's Development

For Latvia's Development (Latvijas attīstībai, abbr. LA) is a classical liberal political party in Latvia. It is positioned on the centre-right on the political spectrum. From 2018 to 2022 it was one of the members of the Development/For! alliance, before it de facto dissolved.

History
The party was founded in 2013 by the former Prime Minister of Latvia Einars Repše.

Internationally the party is a full member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party, a grouping of centrist and liberal parties from across Europe, since April 2013.

On 29 November 2014 Juris Pūce was elected as the new chairperson and a new political manifesto was adopted.

With the adoption of the new manifesto, the party defined itself as a liberal party that "appreciates and values" individual freedom and equal treatment before the law regardless of nationality, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, or physical and mental abilities. Later on the party defined itself as representing classical or market liberalism.

Ahead of the 2018 parliamentary election, LA formed an alliance with Movement For! and Growth, called "Development/For!". This alliance, led by Artis Pabriks, won 12% of the votes and 13 of 100 seats in the Saeima. It joined the Kariņš cabinet, taking three ministerial posts, including Juris Pūce as minister of environmental protection and regional development as well as Artis Pabriks as defence minister and deputy prime minister. Artis Pabriks and member of the European Parliament Ivars Ijabs, who had been members of the "Development/For!" alliance, but not For Latvia's Development, joined the party in October 2019.

After disappointing results from the 2022 parliamentary election, in which the alliance failed to return its parliamentary seats, the alliance was technically dissolved, though it remains registered to maintain state funding under the legal name of PLI (an abbrevation of the initials of the names of the former constituent parties).
