Jonatan Vseviov’s entry into domestic politics as the Social Democrats’ candidate has arrived with the same force as Kaja Kallas’s departure. The move appears to have worked: latest ratings show the Social Democrats and the Center Party gaining ground, while the Reform Party and Isamaa are left to adjust to a reshaped field. The government is attempting to build its way toward growth, launching the country’s largest dual carriageway construction program since regaining independence. Kuldar Leis has also confirmed that Rail Baltica remains a national priority, though the ambition of the civil engineering is currently being met with the reality of the supermarket; Tallinn’s food basket is now the second most expensive in Europe, surpassing prices in Finland. Elsewhere, principal Hendrik Agur has begun laying off Estonian language teachers to save money amid financial constraints. In the capital, police attempts to crack down on powerful electric scooters have been met with a new obstacle: parents arriving on the scene to prevent officers from confiscating their children's rides.
