Session Profile: Mart Maastik

The political position is strongly antagonistic towards the government’s plan to implement i-voting, highlighting significant security risks and unresolved issues, and referencing warnings issued by the electoral commission and various experts. Concurrently, the politician is actively engaged in the field of energy security, having submitted a detailed action plan proposal on behalf of the Isamaa Party. This plan aims to guarantee dispatchable electricity generation capacity and maintain a competitive price level. The focus is heavily centered on security (both cyber and energy security) and the overall structure of the policy.

The politician demonstrates a deep understanding of cybersecurity and election technology, citing specific risks such as spyware, the loss of control over the voter application to Google and Apple, and the absence of authentication controls. In the energy sector, technical terminology like "dispatchable capacity," "distributed generation," and "storage capability" is employed, indicating expertise in energy policy and the mechanisms used to guarantee security of supply. Direct reference is made to the positions held by Cybernetica expert Sven Heiberg.

The rhetoric is predominantly critical and skeptical, particularly concerning mobile voting (m-elections). Logical arguments and technical analogies (such as 5G/Huawei and the Lufthansa hack) are employed to highlight security risks. In contrast, the discussion surrounding energy is highly formal, structured, and detailed, presenting specific, point-by-point demands and prerequisites for developing an action plan. The overall tone is professional and matter-of-fact, though it becomes worried and urgent when addressing m-elections.

The politician is active in the plenary session, both submitting repeated questions to the rapporteur and delivering lengthy speeches aimed at opposing the draft bill and introducing the party's proposal. This pattern of activity indicates a focus on challenging critical pieces of legislation and presenting alternative, detailed political solutions (an action plan).

The primary criticism is aimed at the bill's rapporteur and the government's attempt to fast-track the adoption of m-voting, despite unresolved issues and expert opposition. The criticism is both substantive and procedural, accusing the opposing party of ignoring security concerns and creating illusions. The politician casts doubt on the security of e-voting, referencing negative examples from Russia and Venezuela.

A cooperative style is visible within the Isamaa Party, as the party's official proposal regarding the energy security action plan is presented. Evidence of openness to compromise is lacking on the topic of e-elections, where the politician takes a clearly opposing stance that excludes supporting the draft bill.

The focus is clearly at the national level, addressing Estonia's energy security and the reliability of its electricity supply, as well as the nationwide electoral system. The international dimension is also important, referencing the electoral experiences and technological risks associated with countries like China (Huawei), the USA (Apple, Google), and others (Venezuela, Russia).

Economic considerations are tied to energy policy, stressing the necessity of ensuring a competitive electricity price level for businesses and an affordable price for household consumers. This highlights concerns regarding the nation's economic competitiveness and consumers' purchasing power, which is directly linked to energy production and security.

There is insufficient data. The speeches focus on election security and energy policy, rather than typical social issues such as education, immigration, or civil liberties.

The politician’s main legislative focus is opposing amendments to the election law concerning the introduction of m-voting, deeming it excessively risky. The second significant focus is energy policy, demanding the creation of an action plan to secure controllable generation capacities, storage, and a strategic reserve within Estonia.
