Estonia Weekly: Cars and Estonian schools

The bulk of the posts focused on the switch in the language of instruction in Estonian schools, the issues that will arise, and how the government will do nothing about it except create a Potemkin village. There were also many posts regarding new taxes on things such as cars and pensions, with the Conservative Estonian People's Party calling for people to protest by stopping their vehicles because protests are the only way to get the government's attention. Finally, there were posts about Estonia being pushed by the West towards war with Russia and posts about Kaya Kallas trying to appear as non-Russian as possible.

  • Security and diplomatic concerns stemming from military movements and international relations.
