Helme

According to Michal, no one in Estonia understands Helme's statement, and the Reform MP also referred to party mate Ants Laaneots' words, according to which Helme is someone who doesn't really understand what he is talking about.

Hardi Rekhalt, head of EKRE's Lääne County branch, told regional paper Lääne Elu that Saarso earned more votes than Helme in internal elections, but Helme took the party's top spot in the region regardless.

Ms Helme, the wife of EKRE leader Mart Helme, had accused Mr Saarso of defaming her, something which the latter denies.

According to EKRE Chair Martin Helme, the accusations leveled at Kingo's are politically motivated and the Prosecutor's Office is the strong arm of the ruling regime.

EKRE leader Martin Helme has said that the opposition has been behaving completely legally, but are we really entering an 'era of silence'?

EKRE's leader, Martin Helme, was third-most popular choice as next prime minister, though he, too, has seen a fall in support, to 12 percent according to the latest Kantar Emor poll.

Helme said that EKRE does not believe the voting system could have been hacked from outside Estonia, adding that the problem lies with the e-voting regulation, which he described as lacking.

Of the 423 who voted, 381 voted for Helme, with a further 42 pledging for a latecomer opponent, MP Peeter Ernits.

There will probably also be a request for preliminary legal protection," Helme said.

The Riigikogu is being represented at the assembly by Estonian Inter-Parliamentary Union Group president Maris Lauri (Reform) and vice-presidents Helle-Moonika Helme (EKRE), Helmen Kütt (SDE) and Peeter Tali (Eesti 200).

The XIV Riigkogu was chaired by Jüri Ratas in its latter phases, after he stepped down as prime minister in January 2021, while Helme was one of two deputy speakers.

While Ratas is in the running, so too is EKRE's leader, Martin Helme.

Helme said he believes that traditional methods are becoming exhausted and that EKRE has decided on the use of such tactics on an ongoing basis.

Second, and more importantly, Martin Helme's charisma and services to the Estonian state in no way match those of Edgar Savisaar.

Sirje Helme, head of the Art Museum of Estonia, pointed out that low salaries for cultural workers have led specialists to change fields.

According to Helme, lowering the excise duty will have a positive impact on prices, employment and labor taxes.

Chairman of EKRE and Minister of the Interior Mart Helme confirmed to ERR he will nominate an adviser from within the ministry who he "trusts through and through" as the new minister for foreign trade and IT.

Helme said since there was no quorum, the session can not be considered a Riigikogu committee session and thus it does not matter whether it was held in an official committee room or in the cafe of the Riigikogu building.

Mart Helme (70) handing the Conservative People's Party (EKRE) chairmanship over to his son Martin (44) was a long time coming.

Martin Helme added that no one in the coalition demanded resignation.
