TALLINN, Estonia — Estonia heads into its first election as a euro-zone member today, with the center-right government hoping to be rewarded with an unprecedented second term for steering one of Europe’s most depressed economies back to growth.
The Baltic country of 1.3 million became the 17th nation to adopt the euro Jan. 1 after enduring its deepest recession since regaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Unlike Irish voters, who punished their government last month for their own boom-to-bust experience, Estonians appear to be have retained confidence in the two-party coalition of Prime Minister Andrus Ansip.
