Toobal accuses squirrel party ( Reformierakond ) of financing their electoral campaign with European Parliament money

Central Party's permanent secretary Priit Toobal evaluates that Reformierakond's new electoral campaign violates several correct electoral conventions, which Ansip's party promised to comply.

"Reformierakond promises to draw out hundreds of travels to European Parliament to people who participate in their camapaign and they're planning to use millions of EEK's of European Parliament's money for that," says Toobal.

Toobal observes that, "The convention of upright and good electoral campaign enacts that all the expenses related to the campaign should be financed only by party's own budget. In these circumstances Reformierakond is using European Parliament's money to raise their own party's constituency."

"Besides all that they are hiddenly buying votes. Reformierakond sees that their ideas have failed. Therefore they don't see other way than buying voices of voters and rendering package tours to Brussels," adds Toobal.
