valitsustes

Valitsustes is a term used in Estonian politics to refer to the government of Estonia. The term is derived from the Estonian words "valitsus," meaning government, and "tes," which is a possessive suffix indicating ownership or belonging. Therefore, "valitsustes" translates to "the government's" or "the government of."

The Estonian government is a parliamentary republic, where the President of Estonia serves as the head of state, and the Prime Minister, who is the leader of the majority party or coalition in the Riigikogu (the Estonian Parliament), serves as the head of government. The Riigikogu is the legislative body of Estonia, consisting of 101 members who are elected by universal suffrage for a term of four years.

The government's powers are exercised by the Prime Minister and the ministers, who are appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The government is responsible for the implementation of laws, the administration of public affairs, and the management of the state's finances.

The term "valitsustes" is often used in discussions about the government's policies, decisions, and actions, as well as in debates about the political landscape of Estonia. It is a neutral term that refers to the government as an institution, rather than to a specific political party or ideology.
