Tatakse

Tatakse is a term of Estonian origin, meaning "those who contest" or "the opponents" in English. It is a political movement within the Estonian far-right scene, emerging in the mid-2010s. The group's main focus revolves around a strong national identity and preserving the country's cultural heritage.

The Tatakse ideology is rooted in Euroscepticism, anti-immigration, and a perceived threat of globalization to Estonian sovereignty. They are known for criticizing liberal and globalist values, advocating for a stronger Estonian state, and adopting a more straightforward approach to solving social and economic issues.

Tatakse's stance has been compared to that of similar movements found in other European and other post-Soviet nations. The group's public actions and the media coverage they receive have sparked debate among Estonians. While some consider their views relevant and important issues, others see the group as divisive and radical.

Tatakse has received criticism from Estonian politicians for their perceived extremist views and mistrust of various societal institutions. External organizations have also criticized the group's empathy towards white supremacism. For a country such as Estonia, with volatile relations with its historical neighbors, these discussions concerning extremely changing societal views are of significant concern.
