15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political stance is one of strong opposition to the government's (specifically the Reform Party's) plan to alter the local election system. This move is characterized as stripping local communities of their right to self-determination and effectively rigging the vote.

The position is deeply value-driven, centered on preserving local autonomy and the integrity of the state.
