15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session

The speaker is an active opponent, urging a 'no' vote on the bill because it neither helps balance the state budget nor addresses the promotion of security.

15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, press briefing
The legislative focus is aimed at challenging existing environmental regulations and fees imposed by the government, which currently hinder Eesti Energia's ability to operate in the market. The primary objective is to compel the government, in its capacity as owner, to guarantee the continuation of energy production, rather than focusing on the initiation of new legislation.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The primary legislative focus is the opposition to two bills: amendments to the Child Protection Act (which, in the speaker's view, aim to create a mechanism to aid pedophiles) and a bill concerning a financial transaction (providing funds to the EBRD). The speaker is actively opposing these, submitting both substantive amendments and proposals for the outright rejection of the bills.
