EKRE aiming for 30 Riigikogu seats

«The pre-election situation is tense. Our competitors have drawn a line between EKRE and everyone else. They are all saying how they will not form a coalition with us,» EKRE Chairman Mart Helme said at the council meeting. Parliament parties issued press statements over the weekend, promising not to work with EKRE after the elections.

«Everyone has drawn a red line between us and them. No one is more treacherous or unscrupulous than cartel politicians. Their promises before elections need not be taken seriously. We will see about those promises not to work with us come March 3. For some reason, I believe all delegations will visit our elections party to ask for a meeting,» Helme added.

The chairman said that both cartel parties and mainstream media are working against EKRE’s victory. «It is enough to look at headlines. There is not a single headline to paint us in a positive or neutral light. They all hold something negative. A press that conducts itself in such a manner is neither neutral nor free,» Helme said.

The chairman went on to talk about a recent speech by President Donald Trump. «Trump makes it clear: The United States will never agree to international bureaucrats or organizations that the people have not elected and that are not accountable to the people of America running the country. America will be run by Americans! That is what we must say: Estonia must be run by Estonians! By the way, that is also the reason why we are plagued and smeared. Because we refuse to play by the rules that Jüri Ratas, who recently visited a meeting of the Bilderberg Group, and the rest of them follow,» Helme said.

The chairman continued with a bombshell. «There exists a confederation of leaders in different walks of life the aim of which is to turn the United Nations into a world government by 2030. That is what Donald Trump stands against. That is what we stand against. Because the people of Estonia cannot have a future under such a world government,» the head of EKRE told his fellows.

«The people of Estonia have but a single choice. If the people of Estonia want to exist in 20, 50, 200 or 1,000 years, we only have a single option these elections. There are no others.»

Helme’s speech also referred to the «deep state». He has previously told journalists that the «deep state» stands for special services that influence and run politics using the levers at their disposal. Helme’s less than stellar presidential elections result was allegedly the result of meddling by the deep state.

«However, one must not think we do not have allies in the deep state. We have quite a few of them. Of course, they do not dare stand out yet. The situation today is that the mainstream media and the deep state behind it is trying to make it look like a Center victory is inevitable and paint the Reform Party as the only weakening alternative. That is not true. We are that alternative. We need to take close to 30 seats at Riigikogu elections to keep Center and Reform from forming a coalition between the two of them. That would leave them in a situation parties are facing in Sweden and Latvia right now. Our goal is to create a situation where it would be impossible to move forward without us.

The atmosphere shaped in Estonia by cartel parties and the mainstream media is so diseased. We are the only force representing common sense in Estonia. God is with us! And we will win!» Helme said in closing.
