Exemplary Estonia

Rimvydas Valatka calls on Lithuanians to declare their solidarity with Estonia in the latter's dispute with Russia over the bronze statue. "The Estonians are the victims of Moscow and its followers, including former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who was bought by Gazprom for a few pieces of silver. We sometimes make fun of the Estonians, but often enough we envy them because Estonia is always one step ahead of us. ... Even after the riots that Moscow's fifth column triggered, we should still envy the Estonians. They have shown that they have an efficient state. Their prime minister has proved he is able to govern, their police force was well-prepared and dealt with the Moscow-backed vandals in a professional manner. Can we imagine this being the case in Lithuania?"
