15th Riigikogu, 5th session, press briefing
The political position heavily focuses on criticizing the failures of energy policy and the necessity of stimulating the economy. The speaker demands the government admit that the 10-to-15-year energy portfolio planning has gone awry, as it fails to guarantee consumer-friendly pricing. A crucial stance is the strong support for the state maintaining a majority stake in the ownership of the nuclear power plant, provided taxpayer money is invested there.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political position focuses heavily on restricting suffrage in local elections, demanding that this right should belong exclusively to Estonian citizens. The speaker emphasizes that citizenship is a benefit and a privilege, which necessitates knowledge of the constitution, the Estonian language, history, and culture. The current solution, which strips Russian citizens of this right but retains it for holders of the gray passport, is deemed insufficient—a "half-measure." This position is strongly value-based, stressing the importance of national self-determination and ensuring that the country's future is shaped solely by its citizens.
