By Plenary Sessions: Andre Hanimägi

The political stance is strongly opposed to restrictions concerning the participation of electoral alliances and independent candidates in local elections. The speaker emphasizes a fundamental trust in the decision-making capacity of the Estonian people, asking why their freedom of choice should be taken away. Furthermore, he/she expresses skepticism regarding the stability and reliability of Estonian political parties, citing recent surveys. This constitutes strong support for the people's right to self-determination at the local level.

The political position centers on supporting state flexibility and the efficient management of projects to prevent the waste of taxpayer money and avoid drawn-out sagas (such as the ERR building project). The speaker also supports a direction that calls into question all cooperation and agreements with Russia, emphasizing the security situation following the invasion of Ukraine. This approach is strongly results-oriented, criticizing previously inadequate conduct.

The political position is strongly in favor of supporting Ukraine and providing military aid, emphasizing that this is everyone's obligation. In addition to military aid, the speaker stresses the need to focus on humanitarian aid, particularly support for children and mental health. The speech is strongly value-driven, highlighting humanity and the gravity of the situation.

The speaker's main political position is strong support for greater solidarity and taxation within the banking sector, aimed at channeling temporary excess profits back into society. He is critical of high loan interest rates coupled with low deposit interest rates, viewing this as a matter of social justice. Although he supports the idea of a bank tax (an initiative by the Social Democrats), he opposes the specific bill currently under discussion, arguing that it would result in erratic state tax policy and jeopardize financial stability. Furthermore, he is wary of real estate acquisition by individuals originating from beyond the eastern border, citing security considerations.
