Political Position
The political position is strongly focused on demanding accountability from both legal entities (care homes) and private individuals (referencing the Slava Ukraini case). Emphasis is placed on the shortcomings of the legal system, and strict adherence to laws is demanded, particularly concerning the liability of legal entities. There is also indirect criticism of the coalition partner’s activities, implying that political connections are preventing Pihlakodu from being held accountable.

Topic Expertise
The presenter demonstrates expertise regarding the Penal Code and corporate liability, referencing the 2023 amendments that expanded liability for deficiencies in work organization. They also possess detailed knowledge of the organizational requirements for nursing homes (such as the duty of a carer) and the skill to connect inadequate work organization with the commission of a criminal offense. Additionally, they are up-to-date on the details of high-profile financial crime proceedings (Slava Ukraini).
2 Speeches Analyzed
Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is sharp, critical, and demanding, expressing strong regret and indignation (e.g., regarding the prosecutor's claims). Specific and emotionally charged case examples (rape, the theft of 6 million euros) are used to support the logical arguments. The tone is formal but direct, focusing on the absence of accountability and justice.

Opposition Stance
The primary targets of criticism are the Prosecutor’s Office (for disregarding laws and minimizing the harm suffered by victims) and the Minister of Justice and Digital Affairs/the Government (for offering inadequate solutions, focusing on installing cameras rather than ensuring accountability). The criticism is intense and aimed both at political inaction and the procedural deficiencies within the legal system. The former head of Slava Ukraini, Johanna-Maria Lehtme, is also being criticized for personal theft.

2 Speeches Analyzed
Social Issues
A strong focus is placed on social issues, particularly the safety of vulnerable individuals in care homes and the protection of victims. There is a demand for strict oversight and operational procedures to prevent crimes, coupled with criticism of the legal system for ignoring the psychological damage suffered by victims.
2 Speeches Analyzed
Legislative Focus
The legislative focus is on ensuring the enforcement of existing legislation, specifically the 2023 amendment to the Penal Code regarding corporate liability. The speaker is more of an advocate for the implementation of laws and a critic of the justice system's performance than an initiator of new legislation.
