Socialmessministry and crisis

Now Finally has Social Minister of Estonia announced she will step down in 22nd of Feb, before that she is asked to clear mess that started before new year to reform related to payment of support money for people with various disabilities and their levels and of delivery of pensions to retired people. You see state is cutting expenses and they have certain number of whom they will deliver the pension to home, they have turned down some, some of which have been disbaled people, those who cant or have difficulties to get their pension from bank, atm or postoffice, but some people live in places where they cant acsess easily bank or post office or they are disabled...the social minister lied that if people wit serous probalems , whose application by mistake has denies, they could appeal the decision- but it turned out that that was a lie, there was certain quota of ppl who will get pension to home via mailman. And finally Priminister said that there wasnt better person to deal with problem than current Social minister and he was just thinking whether to take her down or not. now Primeminister said that she has made mistakes, she needs to clean up her mess and step down.

And you know what I heard on radio that one paper called Videvik ( Duskor Nightfall or Twilight in English) is calling for retired to gather at front of Parliament in Toompea at 11.02 for a protest meeting...mmmmmm...is govt afraid that Riga and Vilnius will be repeated here? After all, Riga showed that peaceful demonstration can end differently...Can change of minister appease the crowd and the the Parliament windows will be unshattered? we dont know yet...but anything can happen...
maybe govt will fall too..or change...we will see...its crisis time
