Jevgeni Ossinovski, the former mayor of Tallinn, has addressed Justice Minister Liisa Pakosta requesting an evaluation of the legality of the Tallinn City Government's actions. He is specifically concerned about the lack of precise information regarding the real estate properties that the city intends to sell for budget revenue, which he argues is vital for the City Council's decision-making processes and its ability to assess the actions of the government.

Ossinovski pointed out that the city budget adopted by the City Council earlier this month includes plans to generate 21.6 million euros from real estate sales, a figure that is significantly higher—by 2500 percent—than the final budget from the previous year. This drastic increase raises questions about transparency and the potential implications of such financial plans on the city's governance and financial integrity.

The issue revolves around the city government's failure to provide adequate details about which specific properties are up for sale, leaving City Council members without critical information needed to evaluate the government's budgeting strategy. Ossinovski's appeal to the Justice Minister aims to ensure accountability and compliance with the law as the city navigates these ambitious financial proposals.
