Estonia has directed large sums of public money toward nonprofit organizations, and the scale of that support has become the focus of a Postimees editorial.

About €130 million was paid during the first half of the year, according to the article. For comparison, the motor tax is expected to collect €151 million over the full year.

The government has now decided to begin cutting funding for various nonprofit organizations. The Network of Estonian Nonprofit Organizations is, unsurprisingly, unhappy with the decision.
