By Plenary Sessions: Leo Kunnas

The political focus is currently centered on the severe environmental damage caused by mining, particularly concerning phosphorite and rare earth metals. The speaker voices strong concern and skepticism, stressing that the consequences here in Estonia are unlikely to be significantly different from what has occurred elsewhere (for instance, the Nauru catastrophe). This stance is value-based and prioritizes environmental protection.

The political stance is heavily focused on national defense and international stability. The speaker firmly supports the use of a special mandate to rapidly deploy up to 100 military personnel in time-critical situations, while simultaneously stressing the need for strict parliamentary oversight of the executive branch through the National Defense Committee. Regarding foreign policy, skepticism is voiced concerning UN operations, citing the UN Secretary-General’s support for the Putin regime, which has been declared terrorist.
