2025-02-27
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
Political Position
The most prominent issue is the demand for accountability and the alleged financial impropriety concerning the distribution of 2.6 billion euros based on falsified foundational data. The speaker strongly contrasts this with the minister's long-term focus (the price of electricity in 2035) and demands immediate clarity (the price of electricity next week). The stance is strongly oppositional, centering on the inefficiency and lack of transparency in the government's activities.
