Political Position
The political stance focuses on issues concerning the organization of work and procedural fairness within the Riigikogu. The speaker highlights the restriction placed on non-affiliated members participating in debates during the third reading, thereby expressing implicit opposition to the current regulation, which effectively leaves a quarter of the membership without the right to speak. This position is primarily procedural and aimed at enhancing the efficiency and inclusiveness of parliamentary work.
