15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political focus is heavily centered on national security and countering Kremlin influence in Estonia, particularly regarding the Moscow Patriarchate. The speaker strongly backs the draft legislation aimed at removing this Kremlin extension from the leadership of the Orthodox Church, citing geopolitical realities and Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine as justification. These positions are deeply rooted in core values and security concerns, underscoring the necessity of dismantling a structure that serves as part of Russia's hybrid warfare arsenal.
