Hosts of the Vikerraadio "Rahva teenrid" talk show found that former head of the Office of the President Tiit Riisalo joining the non-parliamentary Eesti 200 and the chance of former President Kersti Kaljulaid following suit constitutes a bleak outlook for the Reform Party the rating of which has already suffered in the energy prices crisis.
The outgoing year's major keywords are the coronavirus and energy crises, U.S. and German elections and the government's difficult road in Estonia, guests of "Rahva teenrid," Eesti Päevaleht and Delfi Editor-in-Chief Urmo Soonvald and Äripäev Editor-in-Chief Meelis Mandel, and host Mirko Ojakivi found on Saturday.
Keeping future, sudden rises in electricity prices at bay, alleviating the current crisis and the possible psychological impact of a large proportion of the population suddenly finding itself in financial difficulty and having to apply for support were the topics on the table during Vikerradio's 'Rahva teenrid' politics discussion show broadcast Saturday.
The current, apparent inequality in Estonia's economic situation – with some doing very well and other struggling amid soaring energy prices as winter deepens – was the topic of Saturday's edition of Vikerraadio's politics discussion show, 'Rahva Teenrid'.
The government's convenience in managing the crisis through general orders and without involving the parliament is problematic, as recently pointed out by Supreme Court Justice Ivo Pilving, journalists found on the "Rahva teenrid" political talk show on Saturday.
