2025-06-10
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting.
Political Position
It defends the guarantee of constitutionality and the clarity of rights, raising questions about the draft law with a critical yet moderate stance. The position is primarily supervisory and rights-based, rather than strictly rooted in support or opposition. It does not clearly express strong favor for or resistance to the entire draft, but instead stresses the necessity of constitutional consistency and adherence to the view of the Chancellor of Justice.

Activity Patterns
Participated during the second reading and brought up the question of the rights against self-incrimination; mentions that customarily the rapporteur is from the committee, but he/she is genuinely initiating the discussion himself/herself. Nothing more is written concerning this one intervention during the second reading; therefore, the core value is this single moment of debate.

Critical of the content of the draft bill, it focuses on the clarity of rights and constitutional boundaries; it does not target specific opposition factions or individuals, but rather emphasizes a potential conflict with the Constitution and the necessity of clarifying the expansion of rights.

Legislative Focus
The focus during the second reading debate acknowledges and sharpens attention on the content of the draft bill and the question of its constitutional conformity.
