2025-04-08
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
Political Position
The core issue is the shortage of female specialists and their representation within the governing bodies of publicly listed companies. The stance taken is moderate, seeking to advance women's inclusion, yet it remains critical of the specific directive. The argument is that the directive is merely cosmetic and fails to address the underlying problem; it stresses the necessity for genuine, nationally directed action with a broader scope. The focus remains on finding policy and institutional improvements, rather than resorting to ideological radicalism.
