As we mull New Zealand massacre & danger of beliefs the shooter espoused: here's an intv w/ Estonia's EKRE party speaking of fears about "being replaced" by "migrants". Everyone should ask @ratasjuri + @martlaar why this is acceptable coalition partner.

There's a lot more -- racist views, anti-lgbt, threats to judges, fringe views on women.
And kudos for @dw_conflictzone's Tim Sebastian for digging into EKRE's views with research, facts, and unrelenting questions.
This interview in English is very important.

Helme calls the EU "totalitarian", denies benefits to Estonia of being in EU, and argues about plots and conspiracies. He claims his views are "mainstream."
Ultimately, Helme says the EU is just the same as the USSR. No, really. And this is Estonia. Estonia!
Estonia's PM says intolerance and hatred have no place in the world. Then how is it that he is negotiating a coalition govt with a party that expresses the same views?
