Neivelt: Estonia attracting wrong type of foreign investments

Estonia should prove it can be a good target for those "better" investments. It's not so common foreigners have successfully invested to something more high-tech than logistics hubs in Estonia.

I hope Neivelt wasn't all sober when making his comments.

What a bullshit ,,throw those businesses away and hope for something better,,,and then everybody will invest in Estonia,,haha

Estonia is a blessing, a potential, and a challenge for Europe.

In Estonia, the challenge is the importance of developing a form of free society. After all, when Estonia joined the EU in 2004, the foundations of many 'social evil' were concreted. The productive enterprises often got into the hands of oligarchs or to Brussels welcome bunch of selected foreigners, the rest was neither good for building a broad, powerful middle class or the anchoring of a shareholder culture.

On this foundation, only those will subsequently get really rich, who use political positions to enrich themselves.

A second role takes place here: The self-liberators of Estonia wants to be the self-determinatiors of today. This, the coercive consociationalism based Western European elites do not want.

So it is difficult to Democratic politicians in Estonia, to make ends meet on the requirements of the desires of Western Europe as well as the expectations of their national electorate.

The dilemma is also reflected in Estonia's economic realities: a dead stock market, nationalist, but economically unsustainable education reforms (that entrepreneurs do not want or need), and ultimately the cancelation of aid for 'mega' construction sites as for the planned new mueseum of Tartu.

On the essence, there are no inputs of ideas left what would help to save the Estonian economy - here the rquired resources for this are burned down proactively, ultimately by the constant verbal exchange with Russia, the Estonian average electorate wants to have in order to continue to vote for the elite caste of this country, and then drive this even further and Over-take this national law proposals relating to european history.

This all may lead to win elections, but they are all non-prerequisites to lead a country.

Estonia is indeed further away from its first period of prosperit, than it was prior 2004.

It was promising, until the crisis has arrived Estonia.

Apparently, many only became aware then on what a fragile foundation Estonia's economy is built.

Since then, just nothing has been done about it.

But this is the obstacle Estonia has to crack.
