Because of his position, he is probably the most hated man in Estonia. Ideological, confident and always ready to talk. Her high school mathematics teacher says that Võrklaeva would not have thought of engaging in active politics.
Mart Võrklaeva’s rapid rise is discussed in the latest Ekspress podcasts‘AND journalists Ekvard Joakit AND Mart Belkin. Who is the Finance Minister, where does he come from and where will he end up?
Will Võrklaeva ever become prime minister or perhaps European commissioner? Listen to the show!
At least that’s what all the Reform Party’s competitors say. Voters also took it well. In the negative media environment, only Prime Minister Kallas can compete with Võrkelaeva.
According to critics, Võrkelaev is just Kallas’ puppet. They are seen as a tandem. “He IS a political pioneer. Extremely loyal Echo to Kallas,” He says Janus Karilaid (Isamaa), who previously sat at the same table with Võrklaeva as leader of the Central Party faction.
In the Squirrel party, it is joked that Võrklaev announces to his party members that he is so unpopular that he can undo all bad decisions!
“I never really said that. Sometimes I joke, which not everyone understands, but I definitely don’t have such an arrogant attitude that I can do anything,” the finance minister parried in the story.
