The second cabinet of Kaja Kallas, (sometimes referred to as the Viljandi government (Estonian: Viljandi valitsus) due to the negotiations of the government coalition having taken place there) [1] [2] was the cabinet of Estonia from 18 July 2022 until 17 April 2023 when it was succeeded by the third Kallas cabinet following the 2023 election.[3]
On 3 June 2022, Kaja Kallas dismissed Centre Party ministers from her first cabinet after several weeks of disputes between the two parties and Centre party voting with opposition against a government supported bill.[4] [5] Continuing with a minority cabinet, the Reform Party called up the conservative Isamaa and the Social Democrats for talks on a possible new coalition.[6] On July 8, the three parties announced that they agreed on forming a new coalition government.[7] Although law allows ministerial changes without cabinet resignation, Kallas stepped back so that the new coalition got to vote for the prime minister's mandate in the parliament. The new coalition was given a mandate by the Riigikogu on July 15 with a 52–26 vote.[8] This is the fourth time in Estonian history when Reform Party, Isamaa and Social Democrats form the coalition, others being Laar's second cabinet, 1999–2002, Ansip's second cabinet 2007–2009 and Rõivas's second cabinet 2015–2016.
The coalition agreed on 14 ministers in addition to the prime minister with five each for Reform, Isamaa and the Social Democrats.[9]
On 18 October 2022, Minister of Finance Keit Pentus-Rosimannus announced her resignation, leaving politics after 19-year career. She also declined return to parliament.[10] On 19 October 2022, Annely Akkermann was appointed as a replacement for Pentus-Rosimannus.[11]
