Public response to Mart Helme accusations regarding ERR US correspondent
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.
