Isamaa chair Helir-Valdor Seeder could head up a coalition comprising Center and the Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE), the latter's leader, Martin Helme, said following a meeting of the three parties at the Riigikogu Wednesday.
Former Reform Party leader and prime minister Andrus Ansip said that the Reform Party should never have formed a government with the Center Party and that a coalition with the Social Democratic Party (SDE) and Isamaa should have been preferred from the start.
Center Party leader and former PM Jüri Ratas harks back to the previous coalition of Center, EKRE and Isamaa and describes it as functional. Whether the three parties will join forces again should become clear next week.
Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform) should have resigned, along with the government, on Friday, Center Party chair and Riigikogu speaker Jüri Ratas says.
Estonia needs a functioning government and a new coalition needs to be formed to accomplish this, Riigikogu speaker and Center Party chair Jüri Ratas said Thursday, against the backdrop of a government split between his party and the prime minister's party, Reform.
