70 years ago, Hungarians took to the streets of Budapest to defy communist oppression. Ordinary people stood up to dictatorship and demanded the right to live in freedom, dignity and peace. Their courage also inspired many in occupied Estonia.
The revolution was crushed by Soviet military force, followed by brutal repression.
But today, we honour the courage and sacrifice of those who stood up for freedom and kept hope alive.
Estonians and Hungarians may speak very different Finno-Ugric languages, but we share a deep understanding of the value of freedom and the need to defend it.
Tisztelet a hősöknek! 🇭🇺🇪🇪

30 years ago from today.
M/S Estonia embarked on its final journey to Stockholm during a powerful storm, never to be seen again.
The ship's sinking led to the tragic loss of 852 lives.
It marks as one of the worst maritime disasters of the 20th century.
Rest in peace.

37 years ago, the people of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania joined hands to remind the world that over the previous half-century, the fate of their countries had been shaped by a secret deal between two totalitarian regimes.
The secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, concluded in 1939 between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence and paved the way for the occupation of the Baltic states.
By forming the Baltic Way, the people of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania showed that despite decades of occupation, they would not accept this historical injustice and were ready to join forces to restore their freedom and independence.

Estonia mourns the passing of former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Siim Kallas, who played an important role in the restoration of Estonia’s independence and the building of our free state.
Throughout his years of public service, he helped shape Estonia’s path back to Europe. During his time as Prime Minister, Estonia concluded the accession negotiations that paved the way for membership in the European Union and NATO.
Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

We know the value of freedom. Thank you to all our friends who stood with us when we restored ours and who have remained by our side over these years.
History reminds us: freedom is precious and strongest when defended together.
Happy Restoration of Independence Day! 🇪🇪

Happy Europe Day 🇪🇺
Europe is freedom - to move, to learn, to build a future without borders.
Estonia has grown with Europe and helped shape it, from digital innovation to standing firm for Ukraine.
Because Europe stands for something worth protecting: freedom, security, and the right to choose our own future.
