The Center Party also weighed Mihhail Kõlvart as its forerunner in Tallinn but decided in favor of Aas in the end. „We would have supported each other in any case,“ Aas said. „I'm confident Kõlvart has a great future ahead of him in Estonian politics.“
The acting mayor emphasized on several occasions that the climate is good in the city government, and that it is working as a team.
Aas also said that Tallinn Television, that seems to be an eyesore for many, will definitely continue its activities. „The city has to cover a number of fields,“ he explained. „Secondly, Tallinn TV is changing. We have a new board member making preparations for next season's program – we will launch our new program come fall.“
The acting mayor expressed indignation in that other parties have not shown interest in participating in the work of the municipal television channel's council. „In a situation where they do not want to take part, they cannot say it is all Center Party.“
„Tallinn Television is a magical place in that every time we talk about the budget, the opposition wants to reallocate financing for the channel to do all kinds of lofty things. There is not enough money there to finish building Tallinn,“ he added.
