The Center Party is sending questions to Isamaa regarding issues related to the future of Tallinn. The chairman of the Center Party, Mihhail Kõlvart, said that the responses should be two-way.
Currently, one of the most important topics is supporting the transition to Estonian-language education. The Center Party highlights initiatives such as language immersion, full-day programs, and support teachers. Kõlvart added that nine million euros have been allocated for their program.
Maris Lauri, the leading figure of the Reform Party in Tallinn, said that the Center Party may hinder the transition to Estonian-language education. She mentioned that the Center Party could create obstacles in the construction of schools and kindergartens, as well as in raising teachers' salaries.
Kõlvart responded that the Reform Party is unable to offer substantive solutions, but the Center Party does. He pointed out that during their time, a methodology competence center was established where teachers received additional training.
Lauri also said that the Center Party does not acknowledge its own corruption problems and that the party is not pro-Estonian. Kõlvart replied that true pro-Estonian sentiment is in people's hearts and that the Center Party is ready to act for the benefit of the country.
If Isamaa does not wish to form a coalition with the Center Party, Kõlvart does not rule out cooperation with the Social Democratic Party or the Reform Party.
Isamaa announced that they have not yet decided with whom to start coalition talks. They sent a letter to all parties that made it to the city council and are awaiting responses to their questions.
The Social Democratic Party, the Reform Party, and the Conservative People's Party stated that they will not answer Isamaa's questions and invited them directly to coalition talks.
