Leaders of the leading coalition parties – Laurie Laanemets (Social Democratic Party), Kaja Kallas (Reform Party), and Laurie Hussar (Estonian 200) – are discussing proposed changes to Estonian hate speech regulation. The Estonian 200 party asserts that the proposed regulation does not contradict the Constitution and that the party prioritizes protecting freedom of speech more than the Reform Party. Last week, Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform Party) posted a message on her Facebook page referencing coalition negotiations, stating the intention to revise hate speech rules to align with constitutional standards.

The regulation is described as vague and potentially threatening to freedom of speech.
