Eastern Europe Jeffrey Epstein

Estonia, a small country next door to Russia, can be praised for its good contribution to Ukraine and its curt statements towards Russia, but domestically there are some strange things going on in Estonia that I would like to explore a little in this story. This small country is led by the Reform Party under Kaja Kallas. She has been much praised in the foreign media for her positions on Russia.

The Reform Party, like many other parties, has had scandals that have resulted in the overthrow of those in power who belong to other parties, but not the Reform Party. This is due to the Reform Party’s decades in power in the country, and because of this, the entire state apparatus is working in their favor.

One of the most extravagant scandals was the pedophile scandal involving Marko Mihkelson, Member of the Parlament and Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Mr Mihkelson had repeatedly photographed the private parts of his underage daughter-in-law, and not inadvertently, and this was proven in court and obtained a court ruling. The father of the girl’s father-in-law demanded that Marko Mihkelson be banned from physical contact with his daughter, i.e. that Mihkelson not touch her with a fingertip, but no other punishment was imposed. The Reform Party, as well as the national media unit, had been aware of this for several years, but kept silent and forced others to keep silent as well, citing the protection of a minor child in the public interest. Eventually, it trickled out and a nationwide pedophile scandal emerged. Although Marko Mihkelson resigned as head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parlament, he is still a member of the Parlament and one of the leading politicians of the Reform Party. Anyone who dared to address the issue publicly was condemned and the media muzzled. Even the social media giant Facebook was implicated in the nationwide clampdown. Any Estonian who dared to express their outrage on Facebook was blocked or had their accounts restricted. In the US, the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was imprisoned, which later led to his suicide, but in Eastern Europe, such powerful men are given national protection and anyone who dares to question their legitimacy is muzzled. Kaja Kallas was questioned in the Parlament by the opposition party, but she just waved her hand and said that she believed in the Estonian judicial and legal system and that everything was correct.
