2025-02-19
15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary sitting
Political Position
The political focus is directed at the legislative process (Bill 570 SE) and the politician's accountability to their constituents. The speaker emphasizes the need to consult with voters and explain the voting results, especially concerning the opposition that arose within the committee. The position taken is rather procedural and value-based (representation), rather than substantive support for or opposition to the policy itself.
