The Conservative People's Party of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti Konservatiivne Rahvaerakond, EKRE) is a national conservative political party in Estonia. Current chairman of the party is Mart Helme, former Estonian ambassador to Russia. Its identitarian youth wing, Blue Awakening, is responsible for the frequent nationalist torchlight marches in Estonia. Ideologically, the party is a descendant of the Estonian ethno-nationalist camp, which dates back to the Singing Revolution. Many political commentators place the EKRE on the right to far right but party representatives reject this and suggest other ways of looking at the left–right axis.
