Estonia's far-right ministers face rocky start with first resignation

A tumultuous first week for the new Estonian government has resulted in the resignation of a right-wing minister after just a day in office.

The far-right EKRE party gained five cabinet positions after a strong electoral performance.

Party leader Mart Helme and his son both made alleged white power gestures at their swearing-in on Monday.

The ever increasing power of the right (worldwide) is so scary and honestly tragic with how many times we’ve seen this play out in history. I genuinely don’t understand how these things repeat in times when history is so thoroughly documented. I truly hope all this ends differently than what we’ve seen before :(
