VILNIUS (Reuters) - Estonia’s far right Interior Minister Mart Helme quit on Monday, while his son Martin survived a no-confidence vote to remain in government, after both men came under fire from coalition partners for criticising U.S. President-elect Joe Biden. In a radio interview on Sunday, the elder Helme said he believed Biden and his son Hunter were corrupt. The younger Helme said Biden’s victory in the U.S. presidential election was rigged. Estonia, a NATO member bordering Russia, prizes its alliance with the United States as its first line of defence.
