15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary sitting.
The political focus is on ensuring national security, particularly in connection with cross-border religious links (the Russian Orthodox Church) and the threats posed by hybrid warfare. Regarding the amendments to the Church Act, the stance is strongly supportive, stressing that the restrictions are security-based, not related to freedom of religion. Another key issue is data protection and the proportionality of agency powers in preventing money laundering, where the President's veto to narrow the scope of the law was accepted.
