Both the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice are demanding a clear statement from Metropolitan Eugene, head of the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (MPEÕK), condemning Russia's military aggression in Ukraine.
Minister of Internal Affairs, head of the Social Democratic Party (SDE) Lauri Läänemets has sent a letter to Minister of Justice Lea Danilson-Järg (Isamaa), urging the ministry to expedite its own bill to empower the Political Parties Funding Surveillance Committee (ERJK).
Amendments to the Political Parties Act initiated during the previous government's time have, following a round of coordination, gotten stuck in the Ministry of Justice. Minister Lea Danilson-Järg described the bill to ramp up party funding supervision as a second-rate topic.
