💸 Demand

A major new financial and legal dispute has emerged as the company Datasel is reportedly demanding tens of millions of euros from Estonia. This development coincides with deeper revelations in the ongoing defence procurement scandal, including allegations that Estonia was deceived in a missile deal with an Indian firm. Amidst these revelations, Prime Minister Kristen Michal is actively seeking a new Defence Minister, with General Martin Herem being considered for the position following the recent resignation of the previous minister. In other domestic news, the Pärnu region continues to grapple with severe flooding, but residents are displaying remarkable resilience, with some even taking to the streets in swimsuits. Separately, an Estonian defence force truck became stuck under a viaduct, prompting an investigation into the incident. Concerns regarding the rule of law were also highlighted by Kalle Laanet, who advocated for an end to the prosecution of innocent individuals. Additionally, a Narva woman was mistakenly declared dead, leaving her unable to access her pension or medical care, and a con artist received community service for defrauding multiple victims.
