AI Profiling: Ants Frosch

The politician's position throughout the entire period under review has been consistently and strongly oppositional, focusing on the government’s ethical accountability, opaque personnel policy, and institutional inefficiency. The most prominent recurring themes are national security (including border control, data protection, and the competence of defense leaders), infrastructure development (prioritizing Via Baltica over Rail Baltica), and issues of democracy and constitutionality, where opposition to voting rights for stateless persons intensified in 2025. The political framework is predominantly value-based (emphasizing ethics, sovereignty, and the principle of *jus sanguinis*) and results-oriented, accusing the government of "bungling" management, "steamroller" tactics, and the nation's "mental stagnation."

The speaker's expertise is exceptionally deep and extensive, consistently focusing on the specifics of national security, constitutional law, and public administration. He/She demonstrates authority both in strategic matters (NATO, infrastructure, Russian influence operations) and in legal and procedural nuances (legislative drafting errors, the Public Service Act, the selection of senior officials). This expertise is methodical and detailed, drawing on specific technical and legal terminology (*jus soli*, the d'Hondt method, reciprocity) and referencing historical sources, official calculation tools, and the assessments of security agencies (KAPO). In addition to a strong focus on legislation and security, he/she also possesses specific knowledge regarding fiscal control, e-voting auditing, and environmental technology risks (the phosphorite industry).

The politician's rhetorical style is consistently formal, analytical, and rigorous, focusing on detailed legal and procedural arguments, particularly regarding economic, security, and democracy issues. The tone is predominantly critical and combative, often becoming sharp, accusatory, and dramatic when assessing the government’s actions, utilizing direct evaluations ("catastrophic," "nepotism") and moral appeals. The speaker balances logical argumentation with powerful emotional calls, enriching their language with abundant strong metaphors ("salami slicing tactics," "Carthage must be destroyed") and historical and literary parallels to underscore systemic problems.

The politician’s operational pattern is defined by continuous and intense participation in Riigikogu (Parliament) sittings, where they speak regularly several days a month, showing particular activity during the autumn of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. The dominant communication style involves the direct scrutiny and oversight of government activities, repeatedly submitting detailed questions to the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers. Their activity is often clustered, involving multiple interventions over a short period (e.g., 5 oral interventions in November 2024), which suggests a focus on specific legislative or oversight debates. In addition to questioning the government, they are an active initiator and rapporteur of legislation, and are intensely involved in the demanding work of the Constitutional Committee.

The politician’s opposition profile is consistently and intensely directed against the executive branch (the Government of the Republic, the Prime Minister, and responsible ministers) and institutional leadership. The criticism is extensive, encompassing both substantive policy choices (tax increases, infrastructure) and sharp ethical issues (nepotism, "blood money" scandals). Particular emphasis is placed on the government’s incompetence, avoidance of responsibility, and procedural shortcomings, with the coalition being accused of scorning democracy and employing the "steamroller" tactic in the work of the Riigikogu (Parliament). A significant focus is also the systematic criticism of the personnel policy and trustworthiness of high-ranking state officials (including the Prosecutor’s Office and the State Chancellery).

The speaker's style of cooperation is characterized by strong and consistent intra-opposition coordination, involving participation in broad-based interpellations and co-authorship of legislative initiatives alongside various opposition factions (including EKRE, Isamaa). At the same time, the speaker has demonstrated a pragmatic willingness for cross-factional cooperation on specific issues (security, infrastructure) and procedural matters, positively referencing previous cross-party consensus. Especially at the beginning of 2025, an active search for compromise became evident, along with participation in very broad-based (up to 55 members) consensus initiatives, emphasizing the need for a societal agreement.

The politician's focus shifts significantly between national and international issues (security, foreign missions, legislation) and specific regional problems, with the latter being particularly pronounced during the first half of 2024. Regionally, the focus is clearly on Southern Estonia, where Otepää is repeatedly utilized to illustrate problems related to rural life, education (Pühajärve School), and local administrative capacity (KredEx, crisis preparedness). Furthermore, emphasis is placed on the need to direct resources outside Tallinn and Harju County, and attention is given to the linguistic environment and internal security issues in the border regions of Eastern and Southern Estonia (Narva, Valga, Kohtla-Järve).

The politician’s economic profile is defined by strong opposition to tax hikes and a call for stricter fiscal control. They criticize short-sighted austerity measures that fail to account for the value of symbols and social costs. They stress regional balance, supporting targeted infrastructure development and utilizing EU funds to boost rural competitiveness, while simultaneously expressing concern over raising the retirement age and the lack of affordable transport in rural areas. A key priority is also demanding the targeted use of state subsidies and ethical transparency, placing environmental and health safety first when considering economic activities (such as the processing of phosphorite).

The politician's socio-political profile is strongly national and conservative, focusing on the protection of Estonian identity, language, and legal continuity, while sharply opposing immigration and linking it directly to a security threat. He demands strict border control and opposes voting rights for stateless persons in local elections, emphasizing the principle of *jus sanguinis* and the priority of Estonian-language education. A paradox exists in the balance between security and freedoms: the politician demands strict public order control (for example, regarding taxis) but is simultaneously an unwavering defender of privacy and constitutional rights against state surveillance and investigative activities. Social issues are often addressed using a moral and ethical framework, emphasizing the importance of family and Christian/national values in matters of state governance.

The politician's legislative focus is predominantly aimed at opposing government policy and fiscal measures (such as the car tax or income tax increase) and maintaining strict oversight, primarily operating as a critic and controller. Recurring priorities include improving the quality of public administration and strengthening the control mechanisms of security institutions, demanding the reinstatement of competitive appointments for civil servants and the equalization of security clearances for cabinet members. Another significant area of activity is the reform of electoral law and e-voting procedures, where the politician calls for greater system transparency and the retention of longer logs, while also actively serving as the rapporteur for the Constitutional Committee during the handling of the local elections bill. Therefore, the politician is an active initiator on issues concerning security and administrative quality, but the dominant role remains oppositional control and demanding the repeal of existing legislation.
