The Estonian opposition demands the resignation of Prime Minister Kaya Kallas due to a budget deficit of 1.6 billion euros, which is about 20% of GDP.

Callas’ popularity has plummeted due to budget cuts in the public sector and the widespread opinion among the population that she is more focused on a possible future position in NATO or the EU than on domestic politics.

Recall that Estonia’s GDP decreased by 2.4% in the first quarter of this year. By the end of 2023, the reduction in Estonian GDP was 3%.

At the same time, Kaya Kallas is the main contender for the post of chief European diplomat, which is currently occupied by Josep Borrel. Would she mess up her new job?
