Chairman of the Conservative People s Party of Estonia (EKRE), Martin Helme, told ETV current affairs show Esimene stuudio Wednesday evening that the government broke up recent protests against coronavirus restrictions on Toompea Hill with similar means to those used in Belarus and in the Russian Federation. These were spontaneous protests against the government and their government reacted in breaking them up. The actual problem was created by the government s decision to disband the protests. This is one of the great heritages of the Kaja Kallas (Reform) government, which we will remember about her unsuccessful prime minister era. The government was started by dispersing its critics with the use of dogs, Helme said.

Local elections are looming and things seem different in Narva this year. Traditionally, the group who holds power in the city tends to keep it as schools, kindergartens and municipal companies are strong vote-generators.
But there seems to be a new contender in town to go with Center s stable dominance in the region. The local Russian voter is attracted by the Conservative People s Party of Estonia (EKRE).
