Political Position
The political position is strongly anti-government and results-oriented, focusing on the ethical and legal evaluation of the government's activities. The speaker sharply criticizes the government's inability to hold "their own people" accountable (e.g., the Lehtme, Pihlakodu cases) and accuses the government of arbitrary rule over the Estonian people. This stance is strongly oppositional and value-based, demanding accountability.
