"Einars Repse (born 1961) was an active young member of the Latvian national independence movement before starting up and heading the new Central Bank in August 1991.
Despite - or perhaps because of - the regular changes of government throughout the 1990s, Repse's only real crisis was the collapse in 1995 of Banka Baltija, a huge financial pyramid.
Having come to power on an anti-corruption platform that sounded refreshing to voters tired of the same old faces and broken promises, his argument was that with good pay packets the government members would be less inclined to accept other offers.

Since 1933, when newly elected US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt used his first one hundred days in office to pass fifteen major new pieces of legislation radically expanding the role of the U.S. federal government, politicians around the world used this period as an important milestone in their tenure in office.
Repse, whose previous job was running Latvia's Central Bank, is clearly not used to the unswerving spotlight focused on the head of a government.
But Repse's popularity was based on the claim that he was different, and when he publicly defended Auders, he saw both his own popularity and that of his Minister of Health plummet.
