By Plenary Sessions: Andre Hanimägi

The political focus centers on national defense and security, strongly supporting withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention to secure a cheap and effective defense tool for Estonia in the form of anti-personnel mines. This stance is justified by core values (defending independence) and pragmatic defense capability requirements, citing Russia's violations of international law. The speaker stresses the necessity of balancing humanitarian values with practical defense needs in a complex security environment.

The political focus is on ensuring national security through the regulation of the foreign ties of religious associations. [The position/document] supports the objective of the law (security) but emphasizes the necessity of improving legal clarity and defining ambiguous concepts such as "to be guided by" and "significant person." As a separate issue, concern is expressed regarding restrictions and compensation mechanisms for forest owners. The political approach is strongly grounded in policy and legal norms.

The political position centers on maintaining political accountability in the administration of courts, particularly regarding budgetary matters. Concern and opposition are voiced regarding politicians' attempts to shirk this responsibility, especially concerning regionally sensitive decisions such as the closure of courthouses. It is stressed that the political role and accountability must be preserved in matters of administration, not in matters of adjudication.

The political focus centers on amendments to the gun law and internal security. The speaker moderately supports cutting red tape for legal gun owners but is strongly opposed to increasing the number of firearms in society, arguing that this leads to a greater risk of accidents, suicides, and crime. This position is value-based, emphasizing the priority of security and seeking clarification on the government's actual policy through an official inquiry.

The political focus is on combating fraud and protecting the elderly and vulnerable people from financial harm. The speaker takes a strongly condemnatory stance against fraud, deeming it particularly despicable. He stresses the necessity of creating an anti-fraud action plan, similar to the anti-corruption roadmap, that would consolidate all best practices.

The political focus is on the sustainability of the state budget and the financial impact of planned reforms (the income tax reform), highlighting their significant cost. The stance is cautious and results-oriented, demanding clarity regarding the cuts planned by the coalition. The speaker is critical of the government's ability to balance expensive reforms with necessary austerity measures.

The political position is critical and results-oriented, emphasizing the government’s inefficiency and delays, which have led to substantial fines (hundreds of thousands of euros) regarding the transposition of the EU directive. The position strongly supports active regional policy, the necessity of regional tax differentiation, and opposes the closure of schools, viewing it as a major blow to the region. Thorough economic analyses and numerical evidence are demanded when making political decisions.
