By Years: Mart Helme

The speaker's focus is wide-ranging, encompassing Estonian sovereignty, relations between the European Union and the USA, and geopolitical conflicts (Ukraine, South Asia). Among domestic topics, he highlights the demographic and economic crisis facing rural regions (particularly Southern Estonia) and the vulnerability of food security. He criticizes the slow pace of constructing the eastern border and calls for the restoration of a militarized border guard.

A heavy focus is placed on the consequences resulting from the lack of regional policy and attention to rural areas, such as job losses and school closures (e.g., Metsküla school). The speaker supports establishing a permanent connection to Saaremaa (via a tunnel) and restoring the Haapsalu/Pärnu railways, contrasting these projects with the "pointless" Rail Baltic project. Difficulties faced by rural residents due to tax hikes are highlighted, particularly concerning the proposed car tax and the general rising cost of living.
