We could write a lot about the present situation in Estonia (former economic "superstar" faces deep recession, rising unemployment and so on).
But it seems that it is just enough to hear a song and to understand the Estonian feelings in these times:
Part of the lyrics translated into English. For more information read here|.
''In desert heat only sand
Is blowing like cold icy snow
Night is spreading its wings
Over wanderers, windy and cold
This is the way
They are travelling day after day
This is the way
They follow forever through time
This is the way
It runs down invisible trails
In front of them
It awaits for your courage to try
Frozen souls in the moonlight
Travelling cast in the gloom
Morning again will shine bright
Sunbeams breaking through''
This blog is launched by the successful german online magazine E-POLITIK.DE to address the upcoming EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ELECTIONS, held between 4th and 7th June 2009 in 27 member states of the European Union. We give an overview of current politics and events, parties and party programs as well as regional pecularities concerning European Union politics and this year elections. We do not try to convince you of the necessity and importance of your individual vote, but to sensibilise you for persons, structures and processes affecting you and your life. After all any power of persuasion is of less importance and you hopefully have own intended reasons to participate in european politics.
