Overview:

A significant number of posts expressing anti-governmental sentiments, particularly regarding the economy, were reported during the week. Some of these posts were written by politicians who have never held public office, may have a limited understanding of how the average Estonian lives and, therefore, cannot effectively sympathize with their constituents.

Additionally, there were posts discussing the potential teacher shortage and concerns about the upcoming school year in conjunction with the recent mandate to conduct all teaching in Estonian. Lastly, some posts also touched on U.S. politics, particularly focusing on Kamala Harris and the upcoming presidential election.
