15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The political position is strongly opposed to Draft Law 344 (amendments to e-voting), stressing that the purpose of elections must be the clear expression of the will of the citizenry, not mere convenience. This is a value-based approach, where democratic shortcomings are directly linked to economic consequences, such as higher taxes and a lower standard of living. The speaker emphasizes that election security is the responsibility of the state, not the voter.

15th Estonian Parliament, third sitting, information briefing
The political position centers on the urgent necessity of shifting national priorities, placing national defense and security as the absolute top priority due to the existential threat of war. All other major projects, such as the green transition and budget balancing, must temporarily take a backseat so that resources can be redirected toward strengthening defense capabilities. This is a strongly value-driven approach that underscores the existential threat facing the nation.

The most crucial issue is national security and ensuring territorial integrity, which is why the speaker strongly advocates for establishing an independent, militarized border guard. He criticizes the current structure of border defense as fragmented and inadequate, stressing that Estonia's defense must begin right from the very first centimeter. The speaker prioritizes security, demanding that expenditures related to the green transition be postponed in favor of countering the immediate threat. This stance is deeply rooted in policy and values, focusing squarely on the vital interests of the state.
