15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The speaker is strongly opposed to the government's policies, especially its economic management and the plan to lease out prison spaces. Concerning the economy, the focus is on the ten quarters of continuous decline and the harmful impact of tax increases, while the prison plan is being framed as the plundering of the state and a security risk. The political framework is strongly results-based (economic failure) and values-based (security and immigration).

The government’s actions are characterized as a policy of family hatred, directed against the weakest members of society.

The political position is strongly focused on the protection of children and the preservation of the exception that prevents the expungement of criminal records for repeat offenses, particularly pedophilia.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fourth Session, Plenary Session.
The political position is strongly critical of the government’s actions regarding the reorganization of special welfare funding. The speaker questions whether the total sum of 57 million is sufficient, and accuses the government of confusing and inefficient financial management, which could lead to further reductions in already underfunded services. The position is clearly outcome-based and focuses on maintaining the quality of these services.

15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, information briefing
The political position is strongly oppositional, accusing the government of dismantling the market economy and implementing "Eurosociialism." Key issues include the economic recession, excessive growth of the state budget, and mass immigration, which threatens the survival of the nation-state and leads to Russification. The policy framework is intensely value-driven (anti-socialist, nationalistic) and highly critical of the government's activities. The issue of phosphorite mining is also considered crucial, and a referendum is being demanded regarding it.

The stance is results-oriented, criticizing the government’s inaction and its attempts to claim credit for projects initiated by previous administrations.
