The Center Party's poor performance in the Riigikogu elections was a result of being caught between two extremes and failing to present its views forcefully enough, said party chair and Mayor of Tallinn Mihhail Kõlvart. Kõlvart told ERR's Russian-language news site "Direct from the Newsroom," that during the last six months, after Center fell out of the government, not only slogans but also legislative initiatives "aimed at banning, expelling and punishing" began to appear.
