The war in Ukraine is having a negative impact on the Center Party's rating, but a bigger concern right now is maintaining the peace in Estonia, which means calling off the witch hunt and putting an end to pushing the country's Russian-speakers to a point we don't want them to reach, Center board member and MEP Yana Toom told ERR on Wednesday.
Center Party MP Mailis Reps, currently on trial for embezzlement during her term as education minister, has spent €3,823 of Riigikogu expenses benefits on valuable gifts for voters, Postimees reports.
Russia's war in Ukraine has both short and long-term effects for Estonian politics. They have the potential to change the face of Riigikogu elections and the party-political structure for years to come, Martin Mölder suggests in Vikerraadio's daily comment.
Secretary general of the Center Party, Andre Hanimägi, said that the party does not know the physical location of its now annulled cooperation agreement with Vladimir Putin's United Russia party.
