Overview:
Issues of national ethnic policy, trust towards politicians and politics, attitudes towards homosexual persons as well as the matter of the global international politics towards the “small” nations were covered this week in Estonian social media channels and websites. The main narratives were related to trust to the politicians and politics in Estonia, stating that politicians are corrupted and should not be trusted. Another topic was raised in comments to the article, which covered and interview with a homosexual person, immediately suggesting, that gays will seize the power, just because public attention are given to them. Criticism towards national ethnic policy essentially led to the conclusion that government is dividing society solely on ethnic basis among Russians and Estonians.
