Overview:
This week’s posters focused on the Russian Orthodox Church in Estonia, and how with the government calling the church and patriarch a terrorist organization, they are calling all believers terrorists. There were topics discussed such as corruption in the government with businesses lobbying and Centrist party members being fired to force them to vote for a new government. There were also posts on the new required renovations that the government is forcing but not giving aid for, as well as a post about how the expansion of the European Union into poorer countries will mean more taxes for Estonian citizens. Finally, there was a post about the Hungarian prime minister in which he claimed that the liberal spirit of the Western world is what brought the war and hardships.
