The cabinet of Kristen Michal is the current cabinet of Estonia. The cabinet was sworn into office on 23 July 2024 following the resignation of Kaja Kallas as prime minister following her appointment as the European Union's High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
In the aftermath of the 2023 Estonian parliamentary election, the Reform Party increased their number of seats, and incumbent prime minister Kaja Kallas opted to open coalition negotiations with Estonia 200 and the Social Democrats on 7 March 2023.[1] [2]
After Kaja Kallas' appointment as the High Representative of the European Union, she resigned as prime minister[3] and the Reform Party board nominated Kristen Michal to pursue coalition negotiations to form a new government.[4] Michal opted to continue with the same coalition partners of Estonia 200 and the Social Democrats.
The cabinet consists of 14 ministers, seven from the Reform Party (including the prime minister), four from the Social Democrats and three from Estonia 200. The appointment of Vladimir Svet for Minister of Infrastructure was a surprise to many as he had been a member of the Estonian Centre Party right before his appointment, as well as due to his unclear position on the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.[5] [6]
