Overview:
In the reporting week, social media posts focused on a variety of different things, such as the tax ideas of the government, which are robbing the poor and helping the rich, the change to the Estonian language in schools, erasing the individuality of people, and the economic deficit and how the government is only pretending to cut spending. There were also posts and articles which targeted Kaya Kallas’ response to the protests in Georgia and Estonian official’s involvement in them, as well as secret meetings that Kaya Kallas has begun to attend with the Bilderberg Club, and an article stating that the European Union is not ready for a war with Russia because they only are focused on the monetary issues and do not want to change things systemically.
