By Plenary Sessions: Varro Vooglaid

The political stance is characterized by strong skepticism concerning both the human contribution to global warming and the efficacy of the measures adopted by the European Union. The speaker demands that these claims be substantiated, criticizing their presentation as if they were an article of faith. This is a value-driven framework that fundamentally challenges both scientific and political authority.

The political position is strongly centered on legislative accountability and national security. While supporting the principle that suffrage should be limited exclusively to citizens of the Republic of Estonia, the core concern is that the proposed bill currently under consideration could actually exacerbate security risks. We urgently demand a thorough analysis of security risks be conducted before any decision is made, prioritizing prudence and risk mitigation above all else.

The political position involves strong opposition to the government's misuse of the security card, demanding rational facts and analyses as the basis for political conclusions. The individual opposes the extensive restriction of local government voting rights, arguing that there is no evidence that the system, which has been in effect for 30 years, suddenly poses an intolerable security threat. The speaker questions the government's actions, which devalue the concept of a security threat through empty gesturing.

The most prominent topic is the connection between government tax hikes and ensuring national security. The speaker strongly challenges the government coalition's assertion that the massive tax increase will make a real and significant difference in defense capability. The focus is on the effectiveness of the policy and the justification of the financial expenditures, demanding results-based accountability from the government.

The political position is strongly oppositional, focusing on criticizing the government's budget policy and the rhetoric surrounding the 'fixing' of state finances. The main issues are cost savings achieved by cutting ideological programs and opposing the removal of health insurance from stay-at-home mothers. The speaker views parliamentarism in Estonia as "completely neutralized" and the government's activities as an ineffective "theater performance."

The speaker strongly opposes the government's escalation-minded security policy, highlighting the risk of war on Estonian territory and the complete absence of evacuation plans. He/She vigorously defends the religious freedom and canonical ties of the Pühtitsa Convent, accusing the government of constitutional violation. The political stance is deeply rooted in values (constitutional rights) and results-oriented (the government's failure to prepare for a crisis). He/She also questions the logical implications of the program supporting Ukraine, particularly if it necessitates direct NATO intervention.

The most prominent theme is the protection of the right to life for the unborn and the termination of state funding for elective abortions, which is treated as a moral and constitutional obligation. The political stance is strongly value-based, emphasizing the sanctity of human life and criticizing the government's anti-family policies and indifference toward the demographic crisis. The speaker is convinced that the government's actions are "anti-human" and "grotesque," and stresses the need for repentance.

The political stance is strongly oppositional to the government's foreign mission policy, emphasizing adherence to international law and the Estonian Constitution. The speaker firmly objects to delegating the Riigikogu's decision-making authority to the government regarding the deployment of defense forces on foreign missions, citing a violation of Article 128 of the Constitution. Furthermore, the speaker criticizes Estonia's participation in the mission Inherent Resolve, which, in their view, supports the occupation of Syrian territory, thereby contradicting Estonian principles. This opposition is both value-based and procedural, demanding serious respect for the Constitution.

The speaker is vehemently opposed to the government's ambitious green transition targets (100% renewable electricity), deeming them economically harmful and unrealistic. Their political stance is outcome-driven, highlighting the stagnation of Estonian industry and weak economic growth. They also bring up the issue of demographic sustainability, which they believe the government is failing to address. The overall position is critical and challenges the current setting of priorities.
