Estonia's major dailies say in their 5 September editorials that the country’s prime minister, Kaja Kallas, once again missed the opportunity to give convincing and exhaustive answers to the public and does not understand the impact of the scandal concerning her husband's Russia related business on the reputation of Estonia.
The Estonian president, Alar Karis, on 4 September met with the leaders of all political parties represented in the parliament and said that the country’s prime minister, Kaja Kallas, should have resigned right at the beginning of the crisis, in the wake of the scandal involving her loan to her husband’s company that has business interests in Russia.
