By Plenary Sessions: Urmas Kruuse

The political position is twofold: firstly, strong, value-based criticism directed at the strict control of the residence register, deeming it outdated and privacy-infringing. Secondly, there is support for extending the deadlines for the entry into force of the law in the field of early childhood education, aligning with the needs of local governments. The criticism regarding the residence register is aimed more at principles and tenets, rather than specific political opponents.

The political focus is on Estonia’s economic competitiveness, particularly in the context of service exports and industrial efficiency. The speaker is concerned that broadband infrastructure remains unused due to ownership issues, and emphasizes the role of state flexibility and foresight in achieving export success. The policy stance is results-oriented, seeking solutions to structural problems (such as the gap in agricultural efficiency compared to Lithuania).

The political stance centers on strong support for the Rail Baltic project, which is viewed as a strategic necessity and an opportunity for connectivity, and opposition to hindering it is branded a total mistake. The speaker also stresses the necessity of keeping certain national defense-related information confidential from the public. These viewpoints are heavily focused on policy and strategy.
