EKRE received only €2,116 in donations in Q2, worst result among parliamentary parties

The Estonian Conservative People's Party (EKRE) has released its second-quarter financial report for 2026, revealing that individual donations totaled only €2,116 – the worst performance among all parliamentary parties.

In addition to donations, EKRE earned €6,975 from membership fees and €2,307 from property sales. However, the largest income source was a state budget subsidy of €198,396. Total revenue for the quarter reached €209,776, while expenses amounted to €144,885.

EKRE board member Siim Pohlak commented that state funding dominates the party's income, which is actually a strength as it avoids large private sponsors. He noted that the party is primarily supported by its own members through donations and membership fees, and in terms of the proportion of members who donate, EKRE is among the leading parties in Estonia. Pohlak views this as a healthy democratic process where members believe in the party's ideology and provide financial backing.

Previous reports show that Isamaa received the largest donation volume in Q2 at €161,279. The non-parliamentary Right Party came second with €120,739, followed by the opposition Centre Party at €68,753. The Social Democratic Party raised €65,149, the Reform Party €55,185, and Eesti 200 €2,179.
