COPENHAGEN — The father-and-son leaders of a divisive anti-immigrant party were sworn in Monday as Estonia’s interior and finance minister. Prime Minister Juri Ratas presented his 15-member coalition Cabinet on Monday at the 101-seat Riigikogu assembly. Earlier this month, Ratas, leader of the left-leaning Center Party, clinched a surprise deal with the nationalist and euroskeptic Estonian Conservative People’s Party, or EKRE, as well as with the conservative Fatherland, to create a majority coalition. EKRE’s Mart Helme was appointed interior minister in the Cabinet, while his son Martin becomes finance minister. A total of five parties are represented in parliament, including the Reform Party that was the biggest party after the March 3 election.
