15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, plenary session
The speaker strongly supports the multi-party system and coalition governments, emphasizing the vital role of the opposition in a democracy. He/She sharply opposes the motion of no confidence currently under consideration, deeming it insincere, attention-seeking, and a reflection of the failure to engage in substantive work. This stance is heavily procedural and value-driven, focusing on the quality of political conduct.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The political stance is firmly focused on the rapid increase of national defense spending (up to 4% of GDP) and the support of the new taxation (the Security Tax) required to fund it. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of tackling the structural economic recession, alongside a warning against demagoguery that impedes statesmanship. These positions are strongly rooted in security and fiscal responsibility.
