Center Party leader Jüri Ratas says that his party intends to stick to its guns in potential coalition negotiations, and does not rule out being in opposition.
Isamaa chair Helir-Valdor Seeder could head up a coalition comprising Center and the Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE), the latter's leader, Martin Helme, said following a meeting of the three parties at the Riigikogu Wednesday.
Former Isamaa leader and prime minister Mart Laar considers Kaja Kallas and Jüri Ratas creating a government crisis to have been irresponsible but does not support Isamaa working with Center and the Conservative People's Party (EKRE). Laar said that Center and EKRE are not the best combination for Estonia right now as they come off pro-Russia.
We are headed into extremely complicated months. It is up to Isamaa to decide whether Estonia will meet them with a capable government or a flying circus, Lauri Läänemets writes.
Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform) should have resigned, along with the government, on Friday, Center Party chair and Riigikogu speaker Jüri Ratas says.
