A Center Party MP captured on video using his car to intimidate a protester outside Toompea Castle last Monday should be removed from the Riigikogu, senior journalists say.
Speaking on Vikerraadio politics discussion show Rahva teenrid Saturday, Mirko Ojakivi, Urmet Kook and Aivar Hündimägi agreed that the MP, Igor Kravtšenko , continuing in his seat, was an unacceptable state of affairs, adding the Center Party should pressure him to step down.
Urmet Kook, head of ERR portals, said: I simply cannot understand how such a character can continue at the Riigikogu who uses their car with intent like that.

ERR s weekly politics discussion show Otse uudistemajast looked at the recent growth in support for the opposition Conservative People s Party of Estonia (EKRE), noting that while recent protests were definitely relevant, they were not the whole picture.
Head of News and Sport at ERR, Anvar Samost, said that the recent rise in support for EKRE, as reported by pollsters Turu-uuringute and one which puts the party in second place, behind Reform and ahead of Center, was not really at the expense of any one particular party, and had more to do with EKRE s tactics.

The largest single factor in a decline in support for the coalition Center Party among Russian-speaking voters is job insecurity in Ida-Viru County, market research firm Turu-uuringute analyst Tõnis Stamberg says.
Appearing on ERR politics discussion show Otse uudistemajast Thursday, Stamberg noted that moves towards greener energy production were behind the consternation in Ida-Viru County, Estonia s easternmost region and the center of oil shale mining and industrial use dating back to the first Estonian republic, and since the Soviet era home to a large proportion of the country s Russian-speaking demographic.
