** ** ESTONIA IS GOING TO PUNISH SCHRÖDER**

**In Estonia, there are again demands to strip former German Chancellor Schröder — who helped the country with its EU integration** — of the republic's highest state award.

**The Cross of the Land of Mary, First Class, was awarded to him in 2000 for special merits.** In particular, "for Germany's support in the process of the republic's integration into the EU and NATO."

Five MEPs and 26 members of the Estonian parliament have joined the initiative.**The reason was Schröder's participation in the celebration of Russian President Putin's birthday on October 7, 2026**, the republic's state radio and television reports.

_What a loss for the former German chancellor&#33; He will surely regret being deprived of the highest award given by this Baltic republic&#33;_
