The focus is heavily on national energy issues and the economic plight of hundreds of thousands of Estonians affected by the high cost of electricity. A direct comparison is drawn with Finnish electricity prices, highlighting the international context. Earlier promises, such as the Helsinki tunnel, are also brought up, referencing national infrastructure projects.

A strong regional focus is placed on rural areas, forest homesteads, and agriculture, highlighting the problems faced by livestock farmers and beekeepers whose animals or hives have fallen victim to predators. The speaker draws on his personal experience as a farmer to emphasize the real dangers of rural life and the necessity of protecting rural residents.

The focus is on domestic issues (Estonia’s independent defense capability, energy policy) and the international level (the war in Ukraine, the role of the US and European countries in providing military aid). Historical Estonian industry and oil shale power plants are mentioned as sources of cheap energy.

The focus is on the national level (the Estonian constitution and electoral system) and international security, emphasizing Russian aggression and its potential impact on Estonian domestic politics. Third-country nationals (Palestinians, Eritreans) are also mentioned in relation to issues concerning voting rights.

The focus is primarily on national security and the international geopolitical situation (the Baltic Sea, BRELL, the US-Moscow dialogue). Regionally, Southern Estonia is mentioned in connection with the storm damage and power outages of 2019/2020. Reference is also made to inland bodies of water, which require specific rescue vessels in the context of equipping volunteer squads.

The regional focus is heavily centered on national security and international relations (Russia, NATO, Ukraine). A specific regional flashpoint is Ida-Virumaa, whose territorial integrity, according to the speaker, would be directly jeopardized if the prohibition of the Russian Orthodox Church were to lead to destabilization.

The focus is heavily national and international, centering on the protection of Estonian sovereignty and criticizing the channeling of state assets (mineral resources, wind energy) abroad (Germany, USA). Specific local or regional projects are not mentioned.

The focus is on national and historical topics, particularly the issue of church jurisdiction and the actions of the former president. There is no mention of specific regional projects or communities.
