2025-06-16
XV Riigikogu, V Session, Plenary Sitting
Political Position
The political position is in stark opposition to the ongoing draft amendment (662 SE), deeming it inexpedient. This stance is driven by the pragmatic consideration that the law currently being amended is slated for imminent replacement by a new, comprehensive war law, rendering the current work inefficient.

Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is questioning and critical, employing a dramatic metaphor ("subject condemned to be shot") to underscore the futility of the draft bill. The tone is direct and confrontational, addressing both the presiding officer and the Minister of the Interior, and demanding clarification regarding the necessity of the legislation.
