15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu extraordinary session.
The political focus is currently centered on issues of public trust and political ethics, particularly concerning the swift change of parties and the subsequent acquisition of a ministerial portfolio. The speaker sharply criticizes the situation, arguing that it "looks bad" and undermines the perceived integrity of politics. He demands the minister's resignation in order to relieve the pressure on the newly formed government.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The politician is in strong opposition to the car tax bill, calling it a "plan to tax the country rich" and a "stupid attempt." He promises to terminate and reverse the tax when the opportunity arises (referencing the Conservative People's Party of Estonia). The main points of emphasis are the deterioration of road safety and the burden placed on residents and entrepreneurs in rural areas. The political framework is strongly value-based (protection of rural life) and results-based (the tax is ineffective and causes damage).

15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu's extraordinary session.
The political focus is directed at the poor state of the nation's economy and finances, as well as stopping the outflow of Estonian people and businesses. The speaker is demanding concrete steps and principles from the prime ministerial candidate on how to bring back people who have left Estonia and motivate them, rather than simply replacing them with foreigners. This represents a strongly results-oriented and critical attitude toward the government's handling of the economy.

15th Riigikogu, Extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The political focus is on strong opposition to the car tax, which is considered an incorrect and railroaded piece of legislation. Criticism is directed at the government's poor fiscal management and the lack of transparency in the state budget, citing the unspent 2.2 billion and the failure of the TERE budget system. The framework is results-based, first requiring the reorganization of state finances and the halting of tax increases. The political stance is strongly confrontational, demanding the termination of the car tax proceedings.
