By Plenary Sessions: Anti Allas

The political focus is split between national security and budgetary processes. The speaker stresses the necessity of analyzing the threat emanating from the Russian Orthodox Church, specifically concerning Estonian Orthodox believers and society at large. Regarding the budget, the speaker defends regional funding (earmarks/pork-barrel spending), challenging the negative label attached to it when the funding is directed toward state institutions. This stance is value-based, particularly concerning regional representation and security.

The political position focuses on the bottlenecks in social welfare funding, particularly concerning the ability of pensioners to pay for a place in a nursing home. The speaker expresses concern about cases where a pensioner living alone must personally pay extra for their nursing home spot, viewing this as a problem. This stance is geared towards evaluating the effectiveness of the policy (performance-driven).
