Party funding was the main topic on ETV. Isamaa representative Urmas Reinsalu said their finances are in order, but the situation is taken seriously.
Social Democrat representative Lauri Läänemets said all parties in Estonia should discuss their funding. He said one person should not be able to donate over 100,000 euros to one party per year. Large donations can change party governance.
Tallinn mayor Mihhail Kõlvart said the laws on funding are not good enough. He suggested parties might need to reach an agreement. Funding should be transparent, and everyone should be able to show how the money is used.
Kristina Kallas said there is much unclear funding practice in Estonia. She thought the Riigikogu should take up the issue and find solutions.
Mart Helme said he doesn't understand why a party member cannot financially support their own party. He also mentioned some issues with the prosecutor's office.
Last week, Mart Võrklaev told ERR that the new law on remote gambling tax was pushed by Eesti 200. Karmen Joller said she hasn't felt pressure in the government. She said some of the funds will go to addiction treatment.
Mart Helme said Eesti 200 faction members came to EKRE asking for support. He called on the president to veto the law. Reinsalu said it caused harm to Estonian people. Tallink may decide to lay off 300 people.
Kristina Kallas said Tallink's problem can be solved by changing shipping support measures. She said the climate ministry will make a proposal in January on how to do this.
