"It's not Brussels that determines coalitions, the division of power is determined by the bearer of supreme power," Ratas said in his response to a question about the e-mail at the government press conference on Thursday.
Ratas said that he hasn't responded to the mail, but will definitely do it.
In the e-mail, Verhofstadt implored Ratas not to form a coalition with EKRE, which the former Belgian prime minister called "an extreme right-wing political party which resembles European fascist regimes," according to Politico magazine.
