15th Riigikogu, 5th session, information briefing
The political focus centers on criticizing the reliability and legitimacy of e-elections, based on the OSCE ODIHR report, as well as ensuring food security in the event of a mass evacuation. The speaker adopts a strongly confrontational stance, asserting that the election results have been falsified and that the prime minister consequently poses a security threat to the Republic of Estonia. The issue of e-elections is being framed as a matter of values and national security that demands immediate resolution.

XV Riigikogu, V Session, Plenary Sitting
The political position is strongly opposed to the environmental bill under discussion concerning waste sorting, going so far as to label it "eco-fascist." Although the speaker personally sorts waste, he emphasizes the necessity of differentiating obligations based on population groups and living environments (e.g., urban apartment dwellers versus rural residents). This stance is directed against the over-regulation of policy that fails to account for specific circumstances, and it is fundamentally value-based.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political position is fiercely anti-government, focusing on the lack of ministerial accountability in the handling of the Pihlakodu scandal and the prison issue. They demand political oversight of the prosecutor's office, stressing that the government must govern, not civil servants. There is particularly strong opposition to the prison lease agreement, which is viewed as both a security risk and a burden on the taxpayer. Furthermore, the position is strongly performance- and value-based.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political focus is centered on the legitimacy and procedural correctness of the legislative process. The speaker adopts a strong value-based stance, arguing that due to the violation of norms, the procedure is unlawful and the adopted bill is deficient. The strength of this position is demonstrated by the demand that subsequent governments must annul the bill and apply sanctions.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, information briefing.
The most prominent issues are internal security and state credibility, with the speaker asserting that the government's actions have led to public alienation and pose a serious security threat. In terms of foreign policy, he heavily criticizes Estonia's stance in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, deeming the choice of a side (supporting Palestine) ineffective and ruling out any potential for mediation. The political framework is primarily outcome-based, highlighting the government's dishonesty and short-sightedness.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session

He/She strongly opposes the expansion of systems (such as ANTS and facial recognition), especially the retention of data belonging to individuals who have not broken the law. His/Her stance is strongly value-driven and performance-based, underscoring the need for a competent government and a controlled security apparatus. He/She argues that the government is not actually running the country, but remains in office "by the grace of the true masters."

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political position is strongly directed against the widespread construction of wind energy facilities, emphasizing their senselessness and environmental hazards (microplastics, wildlife). The main priority is the abolition of the Political Parties Financing Surveillance Committee (ERJK), as it is viewed as an ideologically biased tool of the regime that oversteps its mandate. These positions are strongly value-based, focusing on protecting homes and the environment, and combating political corruption.

He demands readiness to suspend certain European restrictions during a crisis to guarantee the food supply.
