TORCH PARADE ⟩ EKRE torch march takes place at Freedom Square. Helme: no family can alone turn the growth of Estonians' birth rate
The EKRE political party held a torch march at Freedom Square in Tallinn, emphasizing the theme of preserving Estonia and addressing national birth rates.
Today at 19:00, the Estonian political party EKRE organized a torch march at the Freedom Square in Tallinn, with this year's theme being 'Keeping Estonia'. This event aimed to rally supporters around a shared vision of national preservation, particularly in the context of concerns regarding the Estonian birth rate. The participation in such marches reflects a growing interest among certain political groups to address demographic issues, which have been prominent in recent discussions in Estonian society.
During the march, prominent figures, including leaders from EKRE, spoke about the responsibility of families and the nation to work together towards increasing birth rates. They underscored that tackling such demographic challenges cannot be the burden of families alone, highlighting the need for collective action and possibly government intervention. The sentiment expressed at the march resonates with broader European concerns regarding declining birth rates and population sustainability.
The EKRE party's stance and the organization of events like the torch march indicate a growing desire among its supporters to see more decisive action taken on family and demographic issues. This gathering not only serves to unify supporters under a common cause but also positions the party as a significant player in Estonian politics, where discussions related to national identity and population growth are increasingly pertinent.
