The political emphasis is placed on the areas of research and development (R&D) that have brought success to Estonia. The core focus of the matter is identifying future potential that will serve the interests of Estonian society and the economy. The overall stance is rather results-oriented and geared towards strategic success.

The political focus centers on the handling of symbols and monuments of the Soviet occupation, particularly in light of Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the celebration of which is met with complete consensus in opposition. However, caution is expressed regarding disturbing or moving the specific Bronze Soldier statue in its current location, raising the question of whether the time for provocations has truly passed. This stance is value-based, emphasizing firm opposition to the glorification of the occupation.
