(ERR) Russian-speaking Estonians do not want “Muslim neighbors,” Conservative Peoples Party of Estonia (EKRE) MEP Jaak Madison has claimed.
Speaking to online Finnish news agency STT, Madison argued that this was a factor in Russian-speaking voters choosing EKRE, a party most closely identified with populist Estonian nationalism, at the polls.
Madison noted that on this score, the two language group communities were in accord, in his opinion.
“Estonians don’t even want immigrants from former states of the Soviet Union, let alone from Middle Eastern or Arab cultures,” Madison said in the STT piece, BNS reports.
