Today, I happened to listen to IN FOCUS | The amendment to the Riigikogu Election Act would be the final nail in the coffin of democracy in Estonia.
Listening to this programme inevitably makes me wonder why most people do not truly want national sovereignty and why they do not really care which flag flies over Toompea.
Democracy has been hijacked in the “Republic” of Estonia. And the people look on helplessly. The only thing they dare to do is complain on Facebook, as much as fact-checking allows.
Objektiiv has spent 10 years producing talk shows and discussing where Estonia is being steered, but people have treated it as entertainment, because no one has taken any real action.
In the comments about the upcoming demonstration, people are asking whether they can follow the event through the media – isn’t that a convenient way to stand up for your country? 📺
Varro wrote a book that shows the democratic illusion we live in. Out of 1.3 million citizens, fewer than 1,000 have ordered it – a book that should stand alongside the Bible as essential reading, showing where we should be heading as a sovereign nation and where we have actually ended up today.
I, along with many other talking heads, have also worked persistently to wake people up.
Today, people also have a tool for putting democracy into practice: www.olejulge.ee. All citizens of the Republic of Estonia who do not belong to any political party can join, forming a powerful force to strengthen democracy.
It is finally time to act, because we have spent more than 30 years standing by, and we can see where we are being steered if we do not take the reins ourselves!
