This issue is strongly linked to national defense, as distrust in e-elections is treated as a hybrid warfare threat that could potentially undermine defense readiness. The position is strongly value-based, emphasizing the critical importance of preserving democratic cornerstones.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session.
The political focus is on protecting the Estonian language and culture and ensuring that the interests of the state aren't overshadowed by the minister's personal relationships. A strong, values-based opposition is being mounted against the minister's statements, which suggest a disregard for Estonian language and culture. The question is being raised whether the minister's special affinity for the Russian language is the root cause of the recent problems.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The political position is clearly against the war in Ukraine, supporting both the substance and the necessity of the statement ("the statement itself is necessary, I agree with that"). However, the emphasis is placed on the procedural and value-based framework, raising questions about how the timing of the statement might affect the attitude of the community of believers toward the Estonian state. The speaker is concerned about the unintended social consequences of these political decisions.
