By Plenary Sessions: Rene Kokk

The political position is critical, questioning the aggressive communication surrounding the climate crisis and viewing it partly as "salesmanship" and "business." Simultaneously, there is sharp criticism of the state's hypocrisy regarding the use of natural resources, condemning the ban on oil shale and warning against the risk of groundwater contamination associated with phosphorite mining. These standpoints are strongly rooted in values and policy, focusing on honesty and environmental safety.

The political position is strongly opposed to enshrining the voting rights of persons with undetermined citizenship in the constitution. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of revoking voting rights from ‘gray passport’ holders, arguing that this status is linked to a lack of loyalty and insufficient ties to the state. This stance is value-based, prioritizing security and aiming to prevent the emergence of "convenience seekers" (or opportunistic residents) who gain voting rights. Furthermore, the handling of the draft legislation is criticized as insufficient and rushed, done merely to tick a box.

The political position is strongly oppositional to the government's policies, focusing on resistance to social and economic measures. The most fiercely opposed measures are the reduction of child benefits, the introduction of a car tax targeting large families, and the closure of schools. These positions are deeply value-based, describing the government's actions as a "world turned upside down."

The political focus is currently directed towards ensuring the operational procedures and transparency of the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament). The speaker strongly supports the establishment of the Rail Baltic investigative committee, citing the necessity of monitoring this multi-billion euro investment and addressing the deficiencies identified by the National Audit Office. Emphasis is placed on the importance of honesty and adherence to legal standards when executing major projects, which raises questions about the coalition's willingness to conceal information.

The politician expresses strong opposition to the car tax, focusing on its flawed implementation and the ambiguity surrounding a car theft scenario. He questions the state's ability to manage this tax fairly, emphasizing its impact on Estonian families and car owners. The focus is heavily directed towards the poor execution and unfairness of the bill.

The speaker strongly opposes the government's policies, especially concerning the car tax, which is viewed as an impoverishing and detrimental levy. A second major focus is the opposition to the closure of the Vana-Vigala Technical and Industrial School, which is perceived as a lack of long-term planning and a disregard for regional policy. The political framework is both policy-driven (the illogical nature of the taxes) and value-based (supporting students with special educational needs (SEN) and rural areas).

The political stance is strongly opposed to the Ministry of Education’s plan to close the Vana-Vigala school. Criticism is leveled at the state’s "tunnel vision" and its preference for prioritizing cost savings over regional policy considerations. The speaker demands that the school be kept open and the regional issue addressed, instead of simply shifting the burden of costs onto the local municipality.
