Former interior minister Kristian Jaani says he is leaving politics and is quitting the Center Party, in order to pursue a continuation of his career in internal security.
The Center Party has not received a donation from a major businessman in order to grease the wheels at the Riigikogu with a bill which would boost family support payments, Center leader and Riigikogu speaker Jüri Ratas says.
Chairman of the Center Party Jüri Ratas said on the "Ringvaade" talk show that his experience suggests the Reform Party is reluctant to consider other parties' preferences and is always looking to get rid of things not to its liking.
Center Party leader Jüri Ratas says he would be very surprised if a coalition of Reform, Isamaa and the Social Democrats (SDE) did not become reality, following Saturday's announcement by Isamaa that it was to enter talks aimed at forming a government consisting of the same three parties.
Center Party leader Jüri Ratas says that his party intends to stick to its guns in potential coalition negotiations, and does not rule out being in opposition.
