	Juhan Parts Encyclopedia Article, History, Biography @ Local Color Art
		On 24 March 2005, Parts stepped down as Prime Minister after a vote of no confidence against Minister of Justice Ken-Marti Vaher had passed the Riigikogu.
		Vaher had established a quota system of how many civil servants had to be prosecuted every year (per county), which is seen as reminiscent of Stalinist purges by many Estonians, a measure that Parts had endorsed.
		Since then, and until the formation of a new government, with which President Arnold RÃ¼Ã¼tel has charged Minister of Economics and Reformierakond Chairman Andrus Ansip, Parts serves as acting Prime Minister.

		Vaher had paid all the fines for his tickets over the years, and after letting him twist in the wind for a few days, Prime Minister Juhan Parts said that the speeding tickets weren't a firing offense.

		The collapse of the government follows the passing by the Estonian parliament of a no confidence vote in Justice Minister Ken-Marti Vaher on 21 March by 54 votes to 101.
		Mr Vaher is a member of Res Publica, as is the prime minister.
		The no confidence vote came about after Mr Vaher had proposed introducing draconian anti-corruption laws which laid down quotas for the number of civil servants to be sacked and which were widely denounced as Stalinist, a serious accusation in a country which suffered mass arrests and deportations following Stalin’s invasion of Estonia in 1940.

		The scandal surrounding Justice Minister Ken-Marti Vaher is one more case in point.

		One can only guess why the key politicians, who posed themselves as human rights crusaders after Vaherâs anti-corruption program received wide publicity last week and was criticized by some as being Stalin-like, didnât speak out several months ago when the program was being shaped by experts.

		Subsequently, Reform Party joined forces with the opposition and Parliament passed a vote of no-confidence for Res Publica's justice minister, Ken-Marti Vaher, for supposedly using Soviet-style policy measures.

		This led to blood-letting between Res Publica and Reform Party: The prime minister, Juhan Parts of Res Publica, sacked the foreign minister, Kristiina Ojuland of Reform Party, for mishandling classified documents.
