Arturs Alberings (8 January 1876 – 26 April 1934) was the 6th Prime Minister of Latvia, in office from 7 May 1926 to 18 December 1926.[1]

Personal life

Alberings was born on January 8, 1876 to a family of farmers in Rūjiena, in the Valmiera District. His father was Virķēni "Klāvās. After graduating from Vilkene Primary School and Kharkiv Agricultural High School, he studied agronomy in Norway, and also improved his knowledge of fish farming in Germany. In Russia, he has worked as the director of the School of Agriculture and Fish Farming, as well as the manager of manors.[1] After returning to Latvia, he started leading courses at the Riga Central Agricultural Association, founded and managed animal monitoring associations in the Rūjiena and Valmiera areas. After the February Revolution in 1917, Alberings began to be involved in politics. In August, 1918, he was elected a member of Vidzeme Land Council. In November, as a representative of the Latvian Farmers Union, he became a member of the People's Council of Latvia.[1]

Political activity

Alberings was elected to the Constitutional Assembly in 1922 and served in commissions of inquiry into agricultural affairs and treason.[2] In Parliament, its first chairman was Frīdriha Vesmaņa.[3] The 2nd member of the 2nd Saeima was Pauls Kalniņš.[4] In Parliament, its first chairman was Frīdriha Vesmaņa.[5]

Alberings ran and was elected in the 3rd Saeima elections. He was the Minister of Agriculture in the cabinet of Hugo Celmiņš and the government of Kārlis Ulmanis.

In May, 1926, after the government headed by Ulmanis resigned due to the unaccepted budget, his cabinet was formed. In September, Alberings also took over the duties of the Minister of Finance[6] due to the resignation of the former Minister Jānis Blumbers. In December, the Saeima asked Prime Minister Alberings why no new Minister of Finance had been found, to which he replied that he had assumed the post of Minister of Finance instead of performing his duties. The majority of Parliament found this explanation unsatisfactory and the government resigned.[1]

Since the autumn semester of 1926, he has been an honorary philistine of the student association "Fraternitas Rusticana".

Death

Arthur Alberings died on April 26, 1934, in Riga, after a short struggle with pneumonia.[7]

gollark: That's clearly Python there.

gollark: Stupidly convoluted black magic. That first bit reminds me of a Y combinator.

gollark: Poorly named and cryptic?

gollark: Typeomancy, as it is known.
