Rubaltic — "Right Sector" Introduced in Estonia

It is known that besides the "Right sector" in Estonia, the Finnish group "Warriors of Odin" also appeared, which have so far limited their interests to "new migrants of non-Christian religion".

First time I heard about them was here. I looked up, they have a facebook page indeed.The local media has not covered them at all. Their manifesto is shorter than some comments in this blog.

That's not to say there is no nationalism or xenophobia in Estonia, but talking about groups like this? I don't know if they held a rally with the flags like these somewhere, I doubt It since the media loves that kind of stuff and It would have been all over.

The most nationalistic party in Estonian Parliament is EKRE (Estonian National Conservative Party). Their popularity has gone up. And of course they are modestly eurosceptic also. Their own rethoric has been that they are not xenophobic but party members have made statements like: if it is black, show him door (regarding immigration)-this rhimes up in Estonian, kui on must, näita ust. must-black, ust-door.

I think it is the EU and theft of democracy that is feeding all this, probably globalisation. If I talk to a member of local parliament about economic policy then he or she says that we have the EU rules. If I talk to a member of European Parliament then she or he would say that Commission does all this and she can do nothing about these things. So who should I talk to or what can my representagtive do?

I am voting for eurosceptics, xenophobic or not.
