On Tuesday's broadcast of ETV's "Esimene stuudio," coalition Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE) chairman and Minister of the Interior Mart Helme accused ERR's U.S. correspondent Maria-Ann Rohemäe of "deceiving and lying" to Estonians for the past two and a half years. These accusations are slanderous and insulting, wrote Anvar Samost, editor-in-chief of ERR's online news and sports portals, and Peep Kala, editor-in-chief of ERR's current affairs programming, in a public statement published Wednesday.
