Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on July 10, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Tunne Kelam! Another year wiser, and still the only politician who can navigate European Parliament debates with the grace of an Estonian folk dancer. Your tenure from 2004 to 2019 was legendary—rumor has it even Brussels misses your witty comebacks and impeccable timing.

From championing digital innovation to advocating tirelessly for human rights, you've set a high bar for politicians everywhere. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer policy papers than usual.

Here's to you—Estonia's favorite statesman whose legacy is timelessly inspiring (and whose jokes are eternally hilarious). Cheers!
