A Tartu resident shared a photo of a dirty bench outside the Ministry of Education, which was unexpectedly cleaned the following day as part of a city-wide initiative.
A cultural figure and trainer Imre Vähi highlighted a bench situated near the Estonian Ministry of Education that he found particularly unsightly on social media due to its year-round state of dirtiness.
