By Plenary Sessions: Andre Hanimägi

The speaker’s political position is heavily oriented toward ensuring national security and public order through the activities of religious associations, supporting amendments to the Churches and Congregations Act (Bill 570 SE). This stance is policy-driven, underscoring the necessity of limiting foreign influence operations and the justification of war, which poses a threat to the Republic of Estonia. Furthermore, the focus includes issues concerning the impact on the voter base related to the suffrage of stateless persons and citizens of allied nations.

The political stance centers on trusting security agencies and the adequacy of existing legislation (the State Border Act) for closing the border. The approach is rather conservative, stressing that the relevant authorities understand the situation best and that legislative amendments are unnecessary. The speaker is skeptical about creating new bureaucracy and indirectly points to deficiencies in the government's economic decision-making.

The political position focuses on the rational use of state resources and the enhancement of border control. The speaker strongly supports transferring the investigative jurisdiction for sanctions-related crimes from the Security Police (KAPO) to the Tax and Customs Board, in order to free up KAPO resources for strategic issues and other criminal matters. The stance is clearly policy-driven and efficiency-focused, emphasizing that KAPO should not have to deal with violations related to "a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of cognac."

The political position is firmly focused on strengthening democracy and increasing transparency in political party funding. The speaker also advocates for guaranteeing fundamental rights by eliminating financial barriers to accessing the courts, thereby emphasizing the values of justice and equality. Support for the party funding draft legislation is justified as a step in the right direction, notwithstanding its deficiencies.

The political focus centers on the government’s performance and the Ministry of Climate’s failure to present the necessary calculations for energy (including nuclear energy) decision-making. The speaker also notes the recurring issue of foreign labor within the context of solving Estonia’s demographic crisis. A strong emphasis is maintained on streamlining agencies and demanding efficiency, which suggests a performance-based political framework.
