Political Position
The political position is strongly opposed to the draft bill establishing the Land and Planning Agency, arguing that it represents the structurally inefficient creation of a "mammoth agency" under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications. The opposition is policy-driven, emphasizing that land-related functions should remain under the purview of the Ministry of Regional Affairs or the Ministry of Agriculture in order to preserve the effectiveness of regional policy. The speaker notes that EKRE supported the idea during Jüri Ratas's government, but the current implementation is conceptually different.
