Overview:
This week most of the posts were focused on the economic issues in Estonia, how the current government is unable to govern well and this is shown by the economy, and how politicians are refusing to borrow money in order to end the economic crisis because they made up an EU rule about it. There were also posts regarding the changing of a theatre name because it had the word “Russian” in it, and, finally, how the Estonian government is considering naming the Russian Orthodox church as a terrorist organization.
