Political Position
The political position is strongly focused on supporting major infrastructure projects, such as the Tallinn Hospital, Via Baltica, and the Haapsalu railway, viewing them as the key to overcoming the economic recession. Criticism is sharply aimed at the inaction of the current government (Reform Party, SDE, E200) and the postponement of crucial projects. The basis of this position is primarily results-oriented, emphasizing the government's failure to stimulate the economy.
