Estonia’s governing coalition is experiencing internal conflict over proposed changes to family benefits. The Eesti 200 party, led by Kristina Kallas, is refusing to concede on a plan to introduce means-testing for these benefits. This means-testing was intended to generate approximately €100 million in annual savings for the state budget. Kallas stated her party remains committed to the reform, signaling a potential breakdown in coalition unity. The disagreement centers on whether benefits should be universally provided or tied to household income. The future of the proposed budget adjustments, and potentially the stability of the coalition, now hangs in the balance. This dispute highlights differing priorities within the government regarding social welfare spending.
