By Plenary Sessions: Irja Lutsar

The political position is strongly evidence-based and supportive of innovation, emphasizing that Estonia’s very existence depends on decisions rooted in knowledge, not emotion. They demand stable funding for science (at least 1% of GDP) and oppose any proposals to cut from this budget. Regarding vaccines, the position is clear: supporting an approach based on the regulations of the State Agency of Medicines and the European Union, and recommending that the proposed bill be rejected.

The political focus is on raising issues within the social and healthcare sectors and clarifying potential solutions. The speaker adopts a procedural stance, stressing the necessity of understanding existing systems (such as calling an ambulance in the event of a home birth) and acknowledging that a problem exists.
