On Saturday, 14th December 13 – 16 at the conference Hall of the Tartu University Library "Estonia's Choice: democracy or democratisation?" The historian Jaak Valge speaks about the evolution and spread of democracy in 20.

and 21. Century. Minister of the Interior Mart Helme asks whether the government's power to be compromised by Estonian democracy was given to the issue of foreign influence and the discretion of Estonian citizens. The spiritual presentation of Veiko Vihur is titled "Free Society Versus liberal democracy". The conference ends with a debate on "the need and opportunities for direct democracy" and participates in Jaak Valge, Mart Helme, Anti Poolamets, Veiko Vihuri and Paul Puustusmaa. The debate is headed by Leo Kunnas. According to one of the organizers of the conference Jaak Valge, democracy can be defined as a form of government where power and governance are formed as a result of fair elections based on the will of citizens. " Democratisation, on the other hand, is an intermediate form of democracy and dictatorship, where elections are held in the country and freedom of expression is formally in place, but only an elite representing one type of opinion dominates policy and media. The submission of other opinions is politically incorrect, the free debate is limited. The power of elected representatives of citizens is impedes bureaucracy, and the state's sovereignty and hence the power of citizens to shape politics in their own country is cut off, "White explains." At the conference, we will discuss whether there are more elements of democracy or democratisation in today's Estonia, whether the movement towards democratisation corresponds to the will of the majority of citizens and whether and how the folk initiative and voting can help to secure democracy.
