The Estonian government of Prime Minister Kaja Kallas resigned yesterday, only today to be handed a mandate to form a new coalition, which was approved by the parliament by a vote of 52 to 26. The Associated Press reported yesterday that the government crisis in Estonia was precipitated in June, when Kallas kicked the Center Party out of what was then a two-party coalition with Kallas’ Reform Party. This was because of substantial differences over spending and welfare policies amid increasing Estonian household costs, a product of high inflation. Inflation in Estonia is reported to be at 22%, the highest of the 19 countries in the Eurozone. The new coalition is again led by Reform, but includes two other parties but not the Center Party. It’s not clear how solid the new coalition is, but, in any case, it’s due to be short-lived, as the next scheduled election is set for March 2023.
