The focus is on performance and the fulfillment of promises, accusing the government of moving in the opposite direction.

The most crucial issue is improving the regulation governing the registration of home-born children in the population register.

The political focus has shifted to the deteriorating national security situation following the explosion of an offensive drone on Estonian territory.
