Fifteenth Estonian Parliament, fifth session, plenary session.
The political stance centers on expanding suffrage in local elections, challenging the current restriction limiting the vote solely to Estonian and EU citizens. The speaker raises a value-based question regarding whether citizens of allied nations (such as NATO countries, including the US and Canada) should be included in local government elections. This position aims to increase inclusion, drawing upon international alliance relationships.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The speaker moderately supports the policy of adjusting age limits and the resulting fiscal savings, stressing that this is only justifiable if the savings are directed toward increasing social benefits for children with disabilities. The political focus remains on the targeted use of social expenditures and ensuring legal certainty during the transition period. This position is policy-driven and conditional.
