The chairman of Isamaa, Urmas Reinsalu, speaks. The coalition pressured President Karis. President Karis does not want a second term.
Reinsalu wrote on social media. There was a speech in the morning. The president thanked Isamaa. Reinsalu praised the president.
The presidential election was difficult. On February 26, the parties did not say no. It was a matter of buying time.
The president was pressured for half a year. At first, it was done secretly. Later, it became public knowledge. Eesti 200 did not want Karis. The prime minister withdrew support.
Reinsalu says: the government does not support Karis. They want another president. This does not solve the trust issue.
Reinsalu believes: pressuring Karis was wrong. The trust issue is bigger. The government is satisfied, but the people lose.
Isamaa is thinking about what to do. Reinsalu calls on people to speak up. Estonia needs a new president. The president must be honest.
