15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The legislative priority is restricting voting rights exclusively to Estonian citizens, a goal that has been in the party's platform since 2013. The speaker positions himself as the primary driver of this change, having forced other parties to alter their stance and prevented the "defilement" of the constitution.
