Estonia is directing nearly €130 million to nonprofit organizations in just six months, even as government-sector debt grows at one of the fastest rates in the European Union.
The funding supports groups working on issues including gender equality through what the article describes as activist feminism, as well as efforts to help developing countries meet their climate targets.
The spending comes while Estonia’s Health Insurance Fund runs an annual deficit of €90 million. The article questions where the state is directing public money as financial pressures mount.
