15th Riigikogu, 5th session, press briefing
The political position is strongly opposed to the government's energy policy, particularly regarding offshore wind farms and the associated expensive grid development. The main emphasis is placed on the economic inefficiency of the policy and the necessity for alternative, significantly cheaper onshore solutions. The speaker criticizes the government's approach as ideological (a "the end justifies the means" policy) and wasteful, which will lead to the loss of billions.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session.
The political position is strongly oppositional, focusing on criticizing the government’s priorities and budgetary decisions which are detrimental to family livelihoods and sports funding. The speaker emphasizes that the government makes daily decisions that drain money from the pockets of families and businesses, and deems the discussion about sports meaningless when major energy decisions are being made concurrently. The viewpoint is strongly value-based and results-oriented, directly linking sports performance (the lack of medals) to the government's funding policy.

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th sitting, information briefing
The most prominent issue is energy policy, where the speaker is strongly opposed to subsidizing more expensive offshore wind farms, preferring onshore wind farms as a cheaper and sufficient alternative. The political stance is highly critical of the government's fiscal policy, linking expensive energy projects to recent tax hikes, which are justified by national defense needs. The position is strongly policy- and results-driven, emphasizing the principles of a market economy and cost-effectiveness.

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The political position is strongly critical of the government’s proposals, demanding explanations regarding the benefits of merging educational institutions and the economic logic behind expensive energy projects. Key emphases are placed on guaranteeing the state's financial obligations (the education agreement) and conducting a cost-benefit analysis (for offshore wind farms). The overall approach is clearly policy- and results-based, calling into question the government’s claims regarding savings and cost reduction.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary meeting

The political framework is explicitly policy- and market-driven, emphasizing a responsible approach to investments.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political focus is on energy policy, where strong opposition is being voiced against the government’s plans to build extremely expensive, subsidized offshore wind farms and nuclear power plants.

The stance is heavily based on policy and cost-effectiveness, calling the government's planning into question.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political stance is fiercely opposed to the European Union's current climate and energy policy, which is dubbed "self-destructive green lunacy." The primary focus is on the role of foreign policy in influencing the EU establishment to change this unsustainable and competition-stifling energy policy. This position is strongly policy-based, centered on preventing economic collapse.

The overall approach is clearly results-oriented and challenging.
