Plans to give police more powers and ease policing restrictions in Estonia
news.err.ee
The draft intent to amend the Law Enforcement Act, prepared in cooperation between the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior, broadly outlines how the police could be granted more power and capabilities in their activities, while reducing various existing restrictions on them.

The ministries also suggest considering the prohibition of public meetings related to the anniversaries of the aggressor state, Russia, or events where symbols associated with acts of aggression, genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes are planned to be displayed.

This could mean a ban on victory day celebrations, and quite possibly restrictions on Soviet and Russian paraphernalia.

Estonia is increasing it’s attacks on its Russian minority rights and it is appalling to say the least

    I could be mistaken, I am not an expert on Estonia by any stretch so please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding was that they were already one of the more fascist leaning EU countries. Which is a…questionably impressive feat.

      That’s also my impression with all the Baltics. And certainly 9 out of 10 Baltic people I’ve met didn’t do anything to dispel that impression
