By Plenary Sessions: Raimond Kaljulaid

The political focus is on national defense and maritime security, which are considered critical issues for Estonia. The speaker supports the draft legislation as a necessary first step but sharply criticizes the government for insufficient and opaque funding. The position is strongly oriented towards ensuring national defense capabilities and demands that the military advice of the Commander of the Defense Forces be fully taken into account. On behalf of the Social Democrats, a call is issued to ensure adequate funding for the timely achievement of NATO force capability goals.
