Agenda Profile: Helle-Moonika Helme

The political position centers on strong opposition to Russian influence and the perceived uncertainty surrounding the government's security policy. The speaker sharply criticizes the ruling coalition (especially the Reform Party and the Social Democrats) for business dealings linked to Russia and historical connections (the Ossinovski funding, the United Russia agreement). The primary demand is a clear and detailed distancing from the Putin regime, specifically highlighting the issues surrounding the status of Crimea and the Bronze Soldier monument. The political framework is strongly value-driven, focusing on the government's moral and security responsibilities.

The speaker demonstrates knowledge of recent Estonian history and political scandals, referencing Kaja Kallas's family business and the funding sources of the Social Democrats. Their specialized expertise is focused on analyzing security threats and political hypocrisy, demanding the recollection of specific historical facts (e.g., the 2019 distancing from United Russia). Furthermore, they are familiar with the Infrastructure Minister's previous statements regarding Crimea and the Bronze Soldier.

The rhetorical style is highly aggressive, accusatory, and confrontational, employing strong emotional charges (e.g., "family blood business," "unprecedented cancellation campaign"). The speaker uses irony and innuendo to cast doubt on the opponent's sincerity ("I don't know if you were sincere or if that's just part of your paycheck"). He presents direct demands (e.g., list ten of Putin's crimes) and uses rhetorical questions to challenge the opponent's morality and actions.

Data is scarce.

The main opponents are the government led by the Reform Party and Infrastructure Minister Vladimir Svet, who is accused of ignoring security threats and having ties to the Kremlin. The criticism is sharp, focusing both on political hypocrisy (Kaja Kallas's actions) and the Social Democrats' historical connection to Russia ("The Social Democrats' red thread and connection to the Kremlin"). The opposition is absolute, expressed in the demand for a vote of no confidence.

In the current context, there is a complete lack of willingness to cooperate, as this constitutes a motion of no confidence. Reference is made to a previous success (Ratas distancing himself from United Russia in 2019), which was achieved through strong pressure from the opposition, indicating a willingness to cooperate only if ideological demands are met.

The focus is heavily on international security issues (Russian aggression, the status of Crimea) and national politics (government action, the question of voting rights). Specific regional or local topics are absent, except for references to Estonian local governments in connection with the issue of voting rights.

The economic views are presented solely within the context of moral criticism, emphasizing unethical business practices ("family blood business with Putin's Russia") and suspicious sources of election campaign funding ("money earned by 'Papa Ossinovski' in Russia"). There is no position on taxes, the budget, or economic growth.

Among the social issues, there is a strong emphasis on the need to revoke the voting rights of Belarusian and Russian citizens, who are viewed as a security threat and who simultaneously vote for Putin and Lukashenko. The issue of the Bronze Soldier is also mentioned, as it relates to historical memory and security.

The main focus is initiating a motion of no confidence against Infrastructure Minister Svet, thereby becoming the originator of opposition pressure. An indirect legislative priority is the revocation of voting rights for citizens of Russia and Belarus in order to mitigate security threats.
