Lavly Perling said in the show "Terevisioon" that Parvel Pruunsild's claims are saddening and dangerous. Pruunsild said that the investigation into Isamaa's funding is revenge. Perling confirmed that she has appeared as a witness and given testimony.
Perling was sorry and sad when she heard Pruunsild's claims. She believes that Estonia's legal system does not work the way Pruunsild said. Perling asked whether this is pressure from the criminal proceedings. People react differently: some let themselves be broken, others come up with something.
Perling also found Pruunsild's claims to be dangerous. If a newspaper editor-in-chief or a major donor thinks this way, then they think the same when their party is in power. They believe that things happen this way, but in reality, they do not.
Was there anything criminal about Isamaa's funding? Perling said we do not know. She mentioned that there were questions, but they have long been answered. For example, where did the money for the tents or the youth come from. But this happened four years ago.
Perling said that any illegal funding must be investigated. She is ready to give testimony and share information. She has already appeared as a witness and given testimony.
Perling stated that party funding must be transparent. There should be no illegal things. This is a matter of democracy and the future of the country.
The Central Criminal Police is conducting investigations. They summon people for questioning. One of them is Isamaa's general secretary Andres Metsoja. The police also summoned Parvel Pruunsild.
