The Estonian Centre Party (Keskerakond) has disclosed its financial report for the second quarter of 2026, revealing that private individuals donated €68,753 to the party. The largest donation of €10,000 was made by Mati Einmann, a board member of Pärnu Port. Notably, several years ago, the prosecutor's office accused Einmann of illegal surveillance and illegal handling of firearms. The case was resolved through a simplified procedure, and the court imposed a combined penalty of €72,408, which, after a one-third reduction, resulted in a final payment of €48,272.

Party leader Mihhail Kõlvart donated €2,100 to his party. The Centre Party earned the most from membership fees, totaling €18,239. Additionally, the party received €251 from its property and €186,726 from state subsidies. Total quarterly income reached €273,968, while expenses amounted to €112,039.

Compared to other parties, the largest donation volume in Q2 was received by the opposition party Isamaa – €161,279. It was followed by the non-parliamentary party “Right” (€120,739) and the opposition Centre Party (€68,753). The Social Democrats collected €65,149, while the Reform Party raised €55,185. EKRE had not yet submitted its report at the time of publication, and the worst result among parliamentary parties was recorded by Eesti 200 – only €2,179.
