15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session.
Political Position
The political stance centers on defending the original substance and procedural focus of the draft legislation, stressing the narrow limitations regarding the search for property owners' data. The speaker expresses concern when wide-ranging topics, such as the tax burden and electricity supply, are introduced into the debate, as these do not fall within the scope of the bill. The position is strictly procedural, emphasizing that the discussion must remain confined to the boundaries of the bill under consideration.
