Aldis Gobzems

Gobzems began representing victims of the Zolitūde shopping centre roof collapse in November 2013, the largest single loss of life in Latvia since its restoration of independence in 1991.{{Cite news|url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/saistiba-ar-zolitudes-tragediju-grib-piedzit-100-miljonus-latu.a70996/|title=Saistībā ar Zolitūdes traģēdiju grib piedzīt 100 miljonus latu|access-date=November 27, 2018|language=lv}} By December, the Latvian Collegium of Sworn Advocates had filed an ethic complaint against Gobzems regarding his work in representing the victims.{{Cite news|url=http://www.la.lv/zverinatu-advokatu-padomei-sudzas-par-gobzema-ricibu-saistiba-ar-maxima-tragediju|title=Zvērinātu advokātu padomei sūdzas par Gobzema rīcību saistībā ar "Maxima" traģēdiju|work=LA.lv|access-date=November 27, 2018|language=lv-LV}} Despite this, Gobzems continued serving, and the courts ordered Maxima Latvija to begin paying compensation to victims in December 2015.{{Cite news|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/society/society/court-orders-first-compensation-payments-to-zolitude-disaster-victims.a160625/|title=Court orders first compensation payments to Zolitūde disaster victims|date=December 21, 2018|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|access-date=November 27, 2018}}

On November 28, 2018, the collegium revoked Gobzems' law license over comments made about the murder of insolvence administrator Mārtiņš Bunkus that were deemed inappropriate. Gobzems criticized the action taken as politically motivated and aimed at preventing him from obtaining the position of Prime Minister of Latvia that he had been nominated to two days prior by President Raimonds Vējonis.{{Cite news|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/pm-nominee-gobzems-loses-lawyers-license-for-disciplinary-violations.a301155/|title=PM nominee Gobzems loses lawyer's license for disciplinary violations|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|date=November 28, 2018|access-date=November 28, 2018}} As of April 2019, he was still fighting the decision in court.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/tiesa-gobzema-sudzibu-par-izslegsanu-no-advokaturas-turpinas-skatit-maija.a315379/|title=Tiesa Gobzema sūdzību par izslēgšanu no advokatūras turpinās skatīt maijā|last=Krieviņš|first=Rūdolfs|date=April 8, 2019|website=www.lsm.lv|language=lv|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=April 8, 2019}}

Gobzems' political activity began in 2008 as a member of Society for Political Change, to which he donated €7,804 in 2009. When that party merged with others to form the Unity faction, he continued as a member and donated €12,000 despite not running as a candidate for either party.{{Cite news|url=https://www.delfi.lv/news/astonas-lokomotives/premjera-amata-kandidata-dosje-kpv-lv-gobzems.d?id=50338061|title=Premjera amata kandidāta dosjē: 'KPV LV' Gobzems|date=August 29, 2018|website=Delfi|access-date=November 28, 2018|language=lv}} For the 2018 Latvian parliamentary election, Gobzems was chosen by the Who Owns the State? party as their prime ministerial candidate and symbolically placed as the last number on the list.{{Cite news|url=https://bnn-news.com/kpv-lv-party-submits-13th-saeima-candidate-list-gobzems-at-the-very-end-189016|title=KPV LV party submits 13th Saeima candidate list – Gobzems at the very end|date=August 6, 2018|publisher=Baltic News Network|access-date=November 27, 2018}} Under his leadership, the party won 16 seats in Saeima, tied for second most with the New Conservative Party.{{Cite news|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/election/latvian-election-results-show-shape-of-new-saeima.a295038/|title=Latvian election results show shape of new Saeima|date=October 6, 2018|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|access-date=November 27, 2018}}

After Jānis Bordāns was unsuccessful in negotiating a governing coalition, President Raimonds Vējonis nominated Gobzems as Prime Minister of Latvia on November 26, 2018, and gave him two weeks to form a government. A week later, he proposed a coalition that would consist of his Who Owns the State? party along with the New Conservative Party, the National Alliance, the Union of Greens and Farmers, and New Unity, despite the conservatives' objection to the Greens and Farmers' inclusion in government.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/possible-shape-of-latvian-cabinet-revealed.a301823/|title=Possible shape of Latvian cabinet revealed|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=December 10, 2018}} Fellow Who Owns the State? party leader Artuss Kaimiņš also opposed the inclusion of the Greens and Farmers,{{Cite news|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/kpv-lv-leader-objects-to-having-greens-and-farmers-union-in-cabinet.a302069/|title=KPV LV leader objects to having Greens and Farmers Union in cabinet|date=December 6, 2018|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|access-date=December 10, 2018}} leading to a breakdown in talks later in the week. Gobzems then retracted his proposal for the coalition and instead called for a non-partisan cabinet of unnamed "best of the best" industry professionals,{{Cite news|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/gobzems-proposes-government-of-unelected-unnamed-best-of-the-best.a302160/|title=Gobzems proposes government of unelected, unnamed "best of the best"|date=December 7, 2018|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|access-date=December 10, 2018}} a proposal that was nearly immediately rejected by the conservatives, the nationalists, and New Unity on the grounds that it could increase the influence of the Harmony party.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/jauna-vienotiba-un-jkp-neredz-iespeju-turpinat-valdibas-veidosanas-sarunas-gobzema-vadiba.a302163/|title="Jaunā Vienotība" un JKP neredz iespēju turpināt valdības veidošanas sarunas Gobzema vadībā|website=www.lsm.lv|language=lv|access-date=December 10, 2018}} Although he had initially called on the president to hold early elections if his proposal were to be rejected, Gobzems instead offered a new four-party coalition that would not include the Union of Greens and Farmers.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/gobzems-izteicis-jaunu-valdibas-veidosanas-piedavajumu-partijas-atturigas.a302351/|title=Gobzems izteicis jaunu valdības veidošanas piedāvājumu; partijas atturīgas|website=www.lsm.lv|language=lv|access-date=December 10, 2018}} The president revoked Gobzems' nomination on December 10, 2018.

Following Gobzems' failure to form a government, Who Owns the State? insisted on his promotion to Minister of the Interior despite the refusal of likely prime minister nominee Krišjānis Kariņš to give him a position in the cabinet.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/kpv-lv-wants-gobzems-as-interior-minister-karins-rules-him-out.a303643/|title=KPV LV wants Gobzems as Interior Minister; Kariņš rules him out|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=February 4, 2019}} Although the party at first refused to consider a different candidate, they backed down from their demand on January 3, 2019, and instead nominated Sandis Ģirģens.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/parties-positive-over-kpv-lv-demands-in-coalition-talks.a304884/|title=Parties positive over KPV LV demands in coalition talks|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=February 4, 2019}} Kaimiņš then called on Kariņš to exclude Gobzems from the rest of the coalition building process, worsening a split between the two Who Owns the State? leaders which then lead to Gobzems' refusal to support the new Kariņš-led government as well as a vote of no confidence against Kaimiņš as party leader. Although the vote was split evenly, Kaimiņš survived the motion.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/kaimins-retains-leading-position-at-kpv-lv.a306267/|title=Kaimiņš retains leading position at KPV LV|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=February 4, 2019}} Relations between Gobzems and Kaimiņš reached their lowest point during the January 23 vote to confirm Kariņš' government, with the two using their speaking time during the discussion to insult and accuse one another of corruption.{{Cite web|url=https://www.delfi.lv/a/50766643|title=Gobzema un Kaimiņa konflikta iemesls – 'Rūdolfs bija gatavs dot 100 000'|date=January 23, 2019|website=Delfi|language=lv|access-date=February 4, 2019}} Gobzems and four other Who Owns the State? deputies voted against the government despite their party's membership in the coalition, and two days later he testified against Kaimiņš to the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau over an alleged bribe.{{Cite web|url=https://www.diena.lv/raksts/latvija/politika/gobzema-piecisi-turpinas-darbu-kpv-lv-14213414|title="Gobzema piecīši" turpinās darbu KPV LV|website=www.diena.lv|access-date=February 4, 2019}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.delfi.lv/a/50775063|title=Gobzems bijis uz iztaujāšanu KNAB|last=LETA|date=January 25, 2019|website=Delfi|language=lv|access-date=February 4, 2019}} On February 4, Who Owns the State? members voted to expel Gobzems from the party, with Kaimiņš citing damage to the party's image as the main reason and Gobzems promising to found a new party. Gobzems was subsequently removed from KPV LV's parliamentary group on February 6, 2019.{{cite news |last1=Līcīte |first1=Madara |last2=Semjonova |first2=Ella |title=Gobzems booted from KPV LV's Saeima faction as well |url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/gobzems-booted-from-kpv-lvs-saeima-faction-as-well.a308658/ |accessdate=February 8, 2019 |publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia |date=February 6, 2019}}

After being ejected from Who Owns the State?, Gobzems became one of two independent members of Saeima along with Jūlija Stepaņenko who left the Harmony party on the first day of the parliamentary session.{{Cite web|url=https://www.la.lv/julija-stepanenko-pamet-saskanas-frakciju/|title=Jūlija Stepaņenko pamet "Saskaņas" frakciju|last=|first=|date=November 7, 2018|website=LA.lv|language=lv|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=April 8, 2019}} On March 12, 2019, he reiterated his promise to form a new party, predicting that the requisite five members could easily be drawn from the other parties and that by the end of the year his new party would have more seats in parliament that New Unity.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/gobzems-no-saeimas-frakcijam-varetu-atskelties-vismaz-pieci-deputati.a312425/|title=Gobzems: No Saeimas frakcijām varētu atšķelties vismaz pieci deputāti|last=|first=|date=March 12, 2019|website=www.lsm.lv|language=lv|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=April 8, 2019}} On April 3, he joined Stepaņenko along with three rebel members of his former party and opposition parties Harmony and Union of Greens and Farmers in voting against the 2019 state budget.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/saeima/latvian-2019-budget-approved-at-last.a314911/|title=2019 budget approved at last|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=April 8, 2019}} On April 11, he led a vote of no confidence against prime minister Krisjānis Kariņš that failed 58 to 33.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/saeima/latvian-pm-eases-past-saeima-confidence-vote.a315744/|title=PM eases past Saeima confidence vote|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=April 12, 2019}}

On November 20, 2018, it was announced the Latvian Constitution Protection Bureau announced that Gobzems would have to go through additional steps in the vetting process before receiving a security clearance required to access state secrets.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/gobzems-would-need-additional-vetting-for-security-clearance.a300273/|title=Gobzems would need additional vetting for security clearance|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=April 30, 2019}} This became problematic when he was nominated by the president to form a government a week later, as potential coalition partners expressed skepticism over a potential head of government without access to sensitive information.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/party-talks-stalling-over-uncertainty-on-gobzems-security-clearance.a301663/|title=Party talks stalling over uncertainty on Gobzems' security clearance|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=April 30, 2019}} On April 18, 2019, Gobzems was invited by the Constitution Protection Bureau for an interview regarding the clearance process, after which he expressed doubt that he would be granted access and promised to appeal such a decision. On April 30, he was officially denied access to state secrets by the bureau.{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/politics/gobzems-denied-security-clearance.a317567/|title=Gobzems denied security clearance|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=April 30, 2019}}

The party, named Law and Order, went on to be founded on January 8, 2021, consisting of four Saeima deputies, including Gobzems himself. Gobzems and fellow MP Jūlija Stepaņenko were announced to be party co-chairmen.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/gobzemajaunas-partijas-likums-un-kartiba-valdei-virzis-ari-stepanenko-un-svecovu.a388158/|title=Gobzema jaunās partijas "Likums un kārtība" valdei virzīs arī Stepaņenko un Švecovu|last=Klūga|first=Māris|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=lv|date=January 8, 2021|access-date=January 9, 2021}} On 20 June of that year, Stepaņenko and fellow Saeima deputy Ļubova Švecova announced that they were leaving the party due to Gobzems' controversial use of the Star of David imagery to protest COVID-19 measures.{{Cite web|title=Stepaņenko un Švecova aiziet no Gobzema partijas "Likums un kārtība"|url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/stepanenko-un-svecova-aiziet-no-gobzema-partijas-likums-un-kartiba.a410978/|access-date=2021-10-23|website=www.lsm.lv|language=lv}}

On 19 February 2022 at the meeting of the representatives of the party congress, it was decided to name the party - from "Law and Order" to "For each and every", retaining Aldis Gobzems as the chairman of the party. It was also decided to change the party's logo. In order for the decision to change the batch name to take effect, it must still be approved by the Register of Enterprises.{{Cite web |last=LETA |date=2022-02-19 |title=Gobzema partiju pārdēvē par 'Katram un katrai', ievēlot viņu par priekšsēdētāju |url=https://www.delfi.lv/a/54076246 |access-date=2022-03-25 |website=delfi.lv |language=lv}}

On 2 October 2022, Gobzems announced on social media that he is leaving the party and politics for time being after his party didn't reach the 5% barrier to enter the parliament.{{Cite web |last=LETA |date=2022-10-02 |title=Netiekot Saeimā, Gobzems pamet savu partiju un kļūst 'par privātpersonu' |trans-title=Gobzems leaves his party and becomes a 'private person' |url=https://www.delfi.lv/a/54801710 |access-date=2022-10-03 |website=delfi.lv |language=lv}}

Gobzems has been described by both domestic and international media as a populist, but he has called his party part of a "right-of-center bloc" of parliamentary factions. During the 2018 parliamentary election, he spoke negatively of the country's political elite and claimed that politicians and the media were covering up massive scandals and keeping the population in poverty.{{Cite web|url=https://en.rebaltica.lv/2018/08/who-is-who-in-upcoming-latvian-parliamentary-elections/|title=Who Is Who In Upcoming Latvian Parliamentary Elections {{!}} Re:Baltica|language=en-GB|access-date=December 13, 2018}} One of his most major proposals has been the elimination of the "coalition council" discussion group between parties participating in government that meets regularly to set their policy agenda, which Gobzems has described as an "unconstitutional organization".{{Cite web|url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/election/13th-saeima-elections-the-parties-part-4.a288908/|title=13th Saeima elections: The parties (Part 4)|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|language=en|access-date=December 13, 2018}} He has also proposed reducing the amount of ministries from 13 to 6, a proposal that he backed away from after becoming the prime ministerial nominee but later re-committed to after being rejected by his potential coalition partners.{{Cite web|url=https://irir.lv/2018/12/07/gobzems-man-ir-pietiekami-augstas-kaujas-spejas|title=Gobzems: Man ir pietiekami augstas kaujas spējas|date=December 7, 2018|website=IRIR.lv|language=lv-LV|access-date=December 13, 2018}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/gobzems-atsauc-savu-valdibas-piedavajumu-partijam.a302157/|title=Gobzems atsauc savu valdības piedāvājumu partijām|website=www.lsm.lv|language=lv|access-date=December 10, 2018}}

Gobzems has been an outspoken critic of government measures to contain COVID-19.
