XV Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting
The political position is strongly focused on state security and constitutional order. The speaker demands accountability from the government for its inability to detect drone attacks and sharply criticizes the Foreign Minister's assurances—which exceed his authority—regarding the deployment of Estonian forces to Ukraine without a Riigikogu mandate. This is a strongly procedural and results-based critique directed at the government's actions. Adherence to Article 128 of the Constitution is particularly crucial when deploying the Defense Forces in international operations.

A long-standing and unwavering position is the termination of e-elections, citing constitutional inconsistency. The speaker stresses that a rational person does not necessarily have to embrace every change, drawing an analogy to the events of 1940.
