Martin Mölder discusses the persistent low support of 15% for the ruling government parties in Estonia, suggesting that attacking the president in this context was a short-sighted move. He highlights that while the president's reputation may remain intact, the ministers and the parties seem to be suffering damage to their public image. As the current term of parliament enters its final year, Mölder emphasizes that the political climate will intensify significantly as presidential elections approach, setting the stage for parliamentary elections that will follow shortly after.

He notes that with three out of the four years of the current parliament already completed, the remaining year is crucial and will unfold rapidly. There is a sense of urgency surrounding the upcoming elections, as political activity is expected to increase dramatically. The year ahead is characterized by significant event planning, starting with presidential elections, leading into parliamentary elections less than a year later, marking a critical phase for the Estonian political landscape.

Mölder indicates that the situation is unique as Estonia heads into these elections, underlining the shifts in political realities that require awareness and preparation from both the electorate and the political actors involved. Such considerations are vital in navigating the challenges and opportunities that will arise in this distinctive political environment over the coming year.
