15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The political position is strongly opposed to the government's policies, particularly in the areas of health and family benefits. The speaker criticizes the contradictory approach: on the one hand, a sugar tax is being planned, but on the other, support for extracurricular activities for large families—which is directly aimed at promoting physical activity—is being eliminated. This position is clearly policy- and results-driven, casting doubt on the logic behind the government's actions.

15th Estonian Parliament, third sitting, information briefing
The political focus is currently directed at the functionality and transparency of the justice system, criticizing the inefficiency of the Prosecutor’s Office (e.g., the Kajar Lember saga) and selective investigation (e.g., the Slava Ukraini case). Strong suspicions have been raised regarding the motives behind the Minister of Justice’s intervention and the request for the Prosecutor General’s resignation, demanding clarification on the meaning of "political credit of trust." This constitutes highly performance-driven criticism aimed squarely at the enforcement structures.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session

His positions are both results-oriented (budget management) and value-based, stressing the constitutional obligation to preserve the nation, as laid out in the preamble of the constitution. He opposes initiating new projects if doing so jeopardizes the completion of nationally important objects that are already scheduled.
