The Estonian Defence Forces have proposed purchasing the Ekraan cinema for three million euros, a sum the military hopes will secure the property from owner Neinar Seli. While the army looks for more space, the Reform Party is looking for its voters; reports suggests the party has lost 50,000 of them as several prominent figures depart. Inflation has returned to the fore as diesel prices climbed nearly 60% in a year. The economic outlook remains cautious, with local commentary noting that a wave of layoffs has begun to hit the private sector. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has nationalized a plant in Solikamsk described as crucial to Estonian interests, and a secret party for 300 ministry officials in Paljassaare has raised questions about the government's own austerity. The Supreme Court has rehabilitated Imre Arrak, ruling that his historical activities were not crimes but a fight for freedom. In the capital, the new head of Estonia's largest hospital has taken over the role, noting that after a career spent 'sleeping between two front lines,' the current crisis is a familiar environment.
