Peeter Võsa suggested to the Tallinn City Council that women need to know only three things: the taste of salt, the way home, and the length of their nightgown. The city has seen political rows before, though rarely ones that rely on such an outdated view of the household.
Tech firm Pipedrive is reportedly cutting its domestic workforce by 70 percent. In the courts, the Lehtme trial heard that aid shipments meant for Ukraine were left stranded, sparking a dispute over the management of the Slava Ukraini charity.
Police are investigating how an illegal arms trade became so accessible that it is barely a secret. Other local problems include 55 migrants who allegedly claimed to be minors and a man who handed over both his and his wife’s bank cards to scammers, losing €20,000 to his own helpfulness.
