The focus is national, but with a strong emphasis on rural areas and agriculture, highlighting the impact of land tax on farmers, the rise in rental prices, and food security. Local government (KOV) budgets and the growth of their obligations are also mentioned.

A strong regional focus is directed towards Ida-Virumaa, addressing issues concerning the Narva River (border security) and the Uikala landfill fire. The geographical context ("50 kilometers towards Tallinn") is also mentioned, emphasizing the scope of these local crises.

The focus is entirely on national tax issues and social policy, especially the livelihood of pensioners. There is no regional or local focus.

The regional focus highlights the financial difficulties of apartment associations in Ida-Viru County when undertaking renovations, emphasizing that the existing support schemes are simply beyond their means. Furthermore, the absence of crucial domestic road construction projects (such as Via Baltica and the Tallinn–Narva route) is highlighted as a major infrastructure gap.

A strong regional focus is placed on Ida-Virumaa due to the implementation of the Just Transition Fund and the need to broaden the applicant pool for large, medium, and small projects. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the financial sustainability of local governments (LGUs), especially concerning the maintenance of small schools and budget cuts (amounting to approximately 27 million).

A strong regional focus is placed on protecting the interests of rural residents, stressing that new rules (e.g., the 30-minute walking requirement) knowingly discriminate against families living further away from population centers. The speaker demands a clear strategy from local governments for ensuring the availability of kindergarten places in rural areas.

The focus is on national security and police operations, specifically addressing widespread phone scams that are targeting the elderly nationwide. There is also mention of a potential link to intelligence services, suggesting an international or transnational threat.

Strong regional focus is placed on educational issues, especially in Ida-Virumaa (enhanced support for teachers) and Western Estonia (Metsküla School). The Toila and Iisaku gymnasiums are specifically mentioned, emphasizing the concerns of local communities in the context of the school network reform.

The focus is primarily national (the state budget, public health), but it also includes a specific regional economic concern related to Latvia and the movement of cross-border trade following earlier tax hikes. Furthermore, concern is highlighted regarding the taxation of local small-scale producers and farm producers.
