I am fascinated with Taavi Rõivas and Toomas Hendrik Ilves. They are supossed to be the Prime Minister and the President of Estonia. Why I say "supposed"? Because they do not seem to have any interest in the real problems of estonian citizens. Or at least, that is what you understand from following their Twitter accounts.
I live in Catalonia, the separatist region from Spain, so I think I know quite well how Spanish politics work. And it is impossible to imagine that a Spanish leader, at least one that wants to become somebody important, could show such indifference with national matters.
You could think that this is a subjective impression, but it's not. You just need to count the tweets that they have dedicated to different subjects.
I lived in Estonia some years ago, and I fell in love with it, both the country and it's people. So, after coming back to Catalonia/Spain, I kept interested in Estonian affairs, and followed both the President, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, and the Primed Minister, Taavi Rõivas, of Estonia. But soon I got bored, because they seem only interested in Russia, NATO and similar issues.
So I decided to check scientifically if it was just my subjective impression or reality. For that I counted the tweets they had written about different subjects that, in my opinion, should be really important, if not the most important, for the President and the Prime Minister of a nation.
Toomas Hendrik Ilves has more than 13,800 tweets. 13,800 times when he found something interest enough to write about it, or to retweet someone else's tweet. Taavi Rõivas has almost 7,500 tweets. So I think nobody can deny that in both cases we have a very good sample of what they are intested in.
And when you analyze their tweets you find really surprising things...
But if you think this is really not so surprising what do you say if I tell you that the PRESIDENT OF ESTONIA has mentioned more times RUSSIA THAN ESTONIA since he joined Twitter?

Maybe Estonian citizens don't care about it, probably some find it even justified. For me, it's just impossible to understand that the President of one country has mentioned more times another country than his own. That idea would be an aberration in Spain.
