Coalition partner Isamaa does not agree with Social Protection Minister Signe Riisalo's (Reform) plan to out off to 2025 offering support to large (three or more children) families, up to the age of 23 inclusive. Minister of Jusice Lea Danilson-Järg (Isamaa) says the coalition agreement inked in July does not include any such allowance for a delay, and says she wants the amendment to be written into the Family Benefits Bill, in the process of being amended.
The differences between the ruling parties were reflected clearly in their choice of ministers. The Reform Party chose to stick with tried and tested people, while both Isamaa and the Social Democrats (SDE) made much more strategic use of the government change, Martin Mölder finds in Vikerraadio's daily comment.
Chairman of the coalition Isamaa party Helir-Valdor Seeder told "Aktuaalne kaamera" evening news that the party's goal was to introduce political newcomers as ministers.
