15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session.
The political focus is on reducing the dropout rate of children from sports after the age of 13 and ensuring the safety of physical activity, which is considered important in the context of public health and birth rates. Although elite sports emphasize the athlete's will to self-transcendence, state support functions are backed, such as the analysis of salary support for coaches and the establishment of a sports facilities fund. Bureaucracy that hinders sports activities is also sharply criticized. The political framework is therefore rather value-based (will, self-realization) and policy-based (funding, integration into the education system).

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political focus is heavily concentrated on the security and safety of the Baltic Sea region. The speaker advocates for a reassessment of international maritime law to restrict the free movement of Russia’s shadow fleet and other dangerous vessels (such as those from China), especially given the risk of cable cutting. This stance is strongly value-driven, emphasizing national and regional security.
