The culture committee got a surprise on Monday. Liina Kersna (RE) proposed to add more experts to the ERR council.
The change surprised the ministry and social democrats. Isamaa says it is a political game.
Kersna says the goal is better balance. Now there are too many politicians and few experts. She wants more experts.
The ministry agreed long ago, but the government did not act. So they decided to change the council.
Social democrat Madis Kallas said he heard about it late. But he supports more experts.
Isamaa's Tõnis Lukas criticized the coalition. He says they want to add their people before elections. This would give them long influence.
Now ERR council has six politicians and four experts. Kersna wants seven experts. Then experts would outnumber politicians.
The current experts are Sulev Valner, Paavo Nõgene, Raul Rebane, and Rein Veidemann. Two will leave soon. The coalition wants new people.
