The Robbery of Rural People in Protected Areas
2025-05-14
15th Riigikogu, fifth sitting, information briefing.
Political Position
The political focus centers on the state's unilateral decision to place landowners' property (forests) under protection, a move that has economically destroyed the value of the property. The speaker strongly opposes this practice, labeling it the robbery of rural residents, and demanding that justice be restored and full compensation provided. This position is intensely value-driven, emphasizing the state's unjust behavior toward its weakest social group.
