This summer’s refugee debate is like a bucket of ice-cold water for Estonian society. Looking at the local media, one might think that we are the tiny island of Lampedusa, where hundreds and hundreds of immigrants come ashore daily. Propositions are flying around about banning the burka and there is serious discussion about the growing threat from terrorism, problems arising from polygamy and the distribution of large numbers of refugees. Estonia is presented almost as a major colonial power with countless former colonies, whose inhabitants are now trying to get to their motherland by the thousand. |
