Security measures for Manitoba premiers have significantly increased in recent years, reflecting growing concerns about threats faced by politicians. Wab Kinew, the current premier, is constantly accompanied by security personnel, a stark contrast to the days when premiers could travel freely. This heightened security is attributed to an increase in aggressive encounters and potential threats directed towards politicians and their families.
The days when a Manitoba premier could ride a bicycle to work alone and unworried about their security seem like a long time ago.
Wab Kinew, elected premier in 2023, is followed by security inside the legislature and when he’s out at public events and press conferences. He is driven in a large vehicle with someone always at his side. “I’ve experienced that at Costco … in a grocery line. We’ve had people approach our home. It doesn’t happen frequently, thankfully, but it doesn’t have to happen often until you feel you need to take some degree of precaution.”Kavelashvili inaugurated as Georgia’s president, complicating country’s path toward EUAzerbaijani president blames Russia for fatal Kazakhstan plane crashSecurity at the legislature has been tightened in stages over the years.
