Kaja Kallas called me a few minutes before issuing the press release on the dissolution of the cabinet, while the premiere was clear in her intent a few weeks ago, Center Party chairman Jüri Ratas told ERR.
Martin Helme, chairman of the opposition Conservative People's Party (EKRE), said that he has spoken over the phone to Center leader Jüri Ratas to discuss recreating the three-way coalition of EKRE, Center and Isamaa.
Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform) said that because she has not caused the current government crisis, she cannot be the one to solve it. The ball is in the Center Party's court that must say it will not be taking the Family Benefits Act bill further and is willing to look for a solution to this problem and all others.
Reform and Center will continue to discuss the draft family benefits bill which would raise payments by €300 million, Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform) said on Monday after a day of negotiations.
