Events for Independence Day restoration commence on August 20th, marked by a significant stone
On August 20, Estonia commemorated its 34th anniversary of independence, a significant day in the country's history that marks the restoration of Estonia's independence from Soviet rule. This annual national holiday began with a memorial ceremony at the Stone of August 20th in Tallinn.
At the ceremony, Ants Veetõusme delivered a speech, while Prime Minister Kristen Michal and Speaker Lauri Hussar laid memorial bouquets on behalf of the government and Riigikogu respectively. The ceremony was a poignant reminder of the events that took place 34 years ago, reminding us that law and justice cannot be destroyed.
In a speech at the memorial ceremony, Prime Minister Michal thanked the members of the August 20 Club for their contribution and personal courage. Speaker Hussar also thanked the club members for their contribution to public debate, expressing concern about a growing anxiety in Estonian society.
The Club of August 20, founded in 1994, is a group that brings together those who sat on the supreme council, elected in 1990 and foreshadowing full Estonian independence. The annual meeting of the club featured a presentation by Alar Maarend discussing the origins and future development of today's climate policy.
In his presentation, Alar Maarend argued that economic and energy policy should not focus solely on the fight against CO2, stating that it is an oversimplified and one-sided approach. He also emphasized that carbon dioxide is not the root cause or sole cause of climate change.
Hussar, in his speech to the club, focused on the turbulent foreign policy situation and stated that the Constitution of Estonia does not support populist convulsions or rating-based policymaking.
As Estonia continues to celebrate its independence and reflect on its history, the discussions surrounding climate policy and foreign policy will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the country's future.
