15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, plenary session
The political stance is strongly oppositional, criticizing the government’s actions in both security matters (the border, the subordination of churches) and social policy. The most pressing issues are national security and the ratification of the International Labour Organization convention, which is considered redundant and unnecessary because it duplicates the Estonian constitution. The argumentation is strongly value-based, focusing on national interests and the preservation of the language.
