By Plenary Sessions: Anti Haugas

The speaker's position is procedural and administrative, focusing on advancing the draft legislation based on the committee's decisions. Support is given to the bill, which amends minor details, with the aim of eliminating deficiencies and concluding infringement proceedings. The political framework is rather policy-driven and aimed at ensuring legal compliance.

The political focus is directed toward the analysis of economic policy, specifically the effects of taxing the banking sector (the solidarity bank tax). We maintain an investigative and policy-driven stance, emphasizing the necessity of comparing Estonian trends with the political decisions of neighboring countries. This position is geared toward collecting data and understanding the consequences of political decisions.

The political focus is directed at adhering to the Riigikogu's Rules of Procedure and internal order, as well as ensuring the sensible use of session time. The speaker sharply criticizes the behavior of the opponents (EKRE), accusing them of deliberately creating an intractable situation and staging a "circus" while maintaining a straight face. This stance is strongly procedural and aimed at guaranteeing the efficiency of the parliament's work.

The political position is one of strong support for the swift resolution of the legal ambiguity surrounding the regulation of license plate recognition cameras, in order to reinstate the PPA's operational tool. It is stressed that while the draft legislation restricts fundamental rights, it is proportional and necessary for ensuring the public's sense of security and preventing serious crime. The focus is policy-driven and results-oriented, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the police force's credibility.

The central theme is labor flexibility and its legal regulation in Estonia. The speaker questions the adequacy of the current regulation to support flexible work schedules that would allow mothers of young children and students to work variable hours (e.g., 10–30 hours per week). This constitutes a policy challenge to the existing legislation.

The political position focuses on international cooperation that generates economic revenue (export income) for Estonia and maintains the competence of specialists. Support is given to exporting prison services to Sweden, viewing this as an opportunity for generating revenue and developing social institutions. Kaduvik is results-oriented, emphasizing Estonia's capabilities and economic gain.

The political position is strongly opposed to the intent of the draft bill concerning the provision of free media services for political purposes.

The political focus is on national security and repelling foreign influences through the regulation of religious organizations' activities. The speaker strongly supports the adoption of the bill, stressing that it protects Estonian values and security from the influence of the Moscow Patriarchate. This stance is strongly value-based, linking the necessity of the law to the justification of war crimes and the ideology of "Russkiy Mir."

The central theme is the closure of the Estonian-Russian border, where proponents of total closure (due to the war of aggression) clash with those advocating a pragmatic approach. The pragmatic stance emphasizes balancing security interests with the need for freedom of movement and information exchange for Estonian citizens. Isamaa's position on this matter has been black and white and consistent for the last three years.

The political focus is on limiting the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) in Estonia, strongly supporting a draft bill that obligates religious institutions to bring their subordination relationships into compliance with Estonian laws. This position is value-based, emphasizing the necessity of not submitting to the leadership of an aggressor and war criminal (Patriarch Kirill). The speaker views the legal amendment as a means to protect Estonian Orthodox believers from the ideology of the "Russkiy Mir" (Russian World).

The political stance is firmly opposed to lowering the VAT on food products, viewing it as an ineffective and costly blanket measure for the state. This position is policy-driven, stressing the need for effective and targeted support that actually reaches those who need assistance. The speaker emphasizes that the objective must be increasing overall prosperity, not artificially creating low prices.

The most crucial topic is the reform of criminal policy, the goal of which is to achieve a safe and just society by 2030. Our position strongly supports preventative measures and people-centered solutions, particularly in reducing repeat offenses stemming from addiction issues. The political framework is both results-oriented (referencing a low public perception of crime) and policy- and value-based (ensuring security for every citizen). Speaking on behalf of the Reform Party faction, the speaker confirms that future steps will focus on prevention and effective solutions.

The political focus is on expanding the potential of Estonia's e-Residency platform to companies in third countries (e.g., Asia) so that they can establish accountable legal entities within the European Union. The approach is investigative and policy-centric, focusing on maximizing existing digital solutions. The position is moderately supportive of the idea of leveraging e-Residency for economic advantage.

The speaker strongly supports the principle of cost recovery through state fees, emphasizing that the costs incurred by the state must be compensated. This position is policy-driven and focuses on fiscal responsibility and ensuring the coverage of administrative costs within the context of vehicle registration procedures.

The political position focuses on procedural correctness and the clarity of legal concepts (opinion versus position/decision). The speaker emphasizes the legal distinction between these concepts, prioritizing procedural accuracy. The framework is heavily policy- and procedure-centric.

The political position centers on the legislative procedures and the advancement of the bill within the Riigikogu. The speaker supports concluding the proceedings of the bill under discussion and bringing it to a final vote, which demonstrates moderate support for the law's adoption. The framing of this position is distinctly procedural and policy-based, focusing on communicating the results of the committee's work.

The political position centers on strongly supporting the competitiveness of the Estonian tax environment and promoting its success story within the European Union. Despite changes to the tax structure, the speaker highlights positive outcomes and aims to expand this policy to the EU level. The focus is results-oriented, emphasizing international assessments.

The political position heavily focuses on the provision of nursing services and the deficit of nurses, deeming the current system of repeated 24-hour shifts unsustainable.

He emphasizes the need to involve allied funding in strengthening Estonia's security. The political framework is primarily results-based, highlighting achievements such as the amendment to the Weapons Act.

The political focus is currently on improving administrative quality and the accessibility of services. One speaker is considering raising the state fee as a mechanism to discourage unnecessary expedited applications and ensure that those who genuinely need documents receive them faster. Another speaker is concentrating on refining the draft legislation and ensuring the correctness of the proceedings, emphasizing a procedural and policy-driven approach.

The most important issue is protecting children from inappropriate online content. The political stance is strongly skeptical of expensive technical measures, deeming them ineffective because children have been able to circumvent them for decades. There is moderate support for a value-based approach and awareness campaigns conducted through parents and teachers.

The speaker strongly emphasizes the problem of the long-term sustainability of the pension system, which stems from the demographic shift and the decline in personal responsibility regarding the growth of retirement income. The stance is one of concern and is directed toward addressing systemic risks, calling for a clear policy direction for the next ten years. The focus is clearly policy-driven and results-oriented.

The political focus centers on procedural efficiency, offering solutions to end the obstruction in the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament). Substantively, the emphasis is placed on developing the infrastructure and improving the conditions for social services, particularly weekly and daily care services and services directed toward people with intellectual disabilities. These positions are geared toward requesting specific political measures and developments, indicating a policy- and results-based approach.

The political stance is pragmatic, focusing on resolving specific shortcomings in legislation—such as the Security Activities Act—before those laws take effect.

He/She advocates for the stability of the legal system, holding the view that the current oath of office does not contradict the constitution.

The political position centers on robust support for club sports in Estonia, specifically by backing clubs competing at the European level. This stance is both policy-driven and results-oriented, proposing a concrete financial measure (€200,000 – €300,000) aimed at boosting the league's overall appeal. Furthermore, it stresses the necessity of resolving issues faced by sponsors concerning coverage provided by the National Broadcasting Corporation.

The political position is strongly opposed to the draft bill that seeks to ban the wearing of the burqa and niqab in public spaces. The arguments are both value-based—focusing on the respect and protection of women—and political, emphasizing that punitive measures should be a last resort, prioritizing grassroots social work instead. The speaker believes that Estonia does not have a large enough Muslim community to justify or necessitate such a ban.

Insufficient data.
