By Plenary Sessions: Mart Helme

Mention is made of the regular presence of government members, including the Prime Minister, in the Riigikogu on Wednesdays. Other personal activity patterns (meetings, travel) have not been presented.

There is too little data.

The speaker reacted immediately to the morning news concerning Kert Kingo’s court ruling, utilizing the time of the plenary session for this purpose. Reference is also made to the regular Monday submission of procedural questions in the Riigikogu chamber. The available data is limited to a single intervention during the plenary session.

The pattern of activity demonstrates active participation in submitting and expanding interpellations during the plenary session, directly addressing several ministers (the Minister of Rural Affairs, the Minister of Defence). The opportunity is utilized to pose questions and request additional time in order to thoroughly address the subject matter.

The pattern of activity is focused on sharply criticizing and questioning the minister during the plenary session, particularly on healthcare and COVID-19 issues. The speaker mentions using their media staff ("New News") to check the transcripts, which suggests a systematic search for the opponent's errors.

The speaker actively participates in the Riigikogu's information session (Q&A), posing pointed questions to members of the government (Kristen Michal, Prime Minister). This pattern demonstrates a response to recent events, such as drone incidents, reports from the National Audit Office, and the situation on the eastern border. The speaker also references previous activities during their tenure as Minister of the Interior (initiating border construction and addressing issues related to corrupt funds).

There is not enough data.

The speaker is highly active in Riigikogu sittings, frequently presenting (almost every month during the observed period) procedural questions, interpellations, and proposals for draft legislation. The pattern of activity focuses on challenging the decisions of the Board and the presiding officers, and on calling ministers to account during information hours and political statements. Participation in meetings of the parliamentary group (faction) and the IPU delegation is also mentioned.
