15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The main focus is on energy policy, security of supply, and the competitiveness of electricity prices. The speaker is strongly opposed to the government’s ideological goal of 100% renewable energy by 2030, deeming it both unrealistic and detrimental to the economy. He demands a concrete and realistic action plan that would ensure dispatchable generation capacity and anamp;nbsp;acceptable price, setting the target for renewable energy at a 42% share of total final consumption. His political framework is strongly results-oriented and economically pragmatic, standing in contrast to the ideological "green frenzy."

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political focus is on energy supply security, price stability, and the quality of national planning. The speaker strongly opposes subsidizing onshore wind farms with over 200 million euros, arguing that this distorts the market and stifles development. He criticizes the government’s unrealistic 100% renewable energy targets for 2030, labeling it an absurd illusion, and demands a realistic energy sector development plan.

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The political focus is directed at regulating and taxing the extraordinary profits of the banking sector, which have resulted from external factors (the rise in Euribor, central bank guidance). The speaker offers moderately strong support for creating a mechanism that would channel profits derived from curbing inflation into the state treasury. This position is clearly policy- and value-driven, emphasizing fiscal justice.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, information briefing
The political focus centers on criticizing the government's actions and financial accountability, particularly concerning large-scale energy projects. The key issue is the construction of the fourth Estonia-Latvia electricity connection via Saaremaa, which faces strong opposition due to its exorbitant cost and sheer impracticality. The speaker demands an immediate halt to this fruitless endeavor, which is clearly beyond Estonia's means. Criticism is also leveled at the procedural inefficiency of the informational hearings and the government's consistently vague responses.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political stance is vehemently opposed to the European Union's gender quota directive concerning private company boards, dismissing it as an absurd pseudo-issue. It is stressed that the Riigikogu should be tackling the economic recession, defense issues, and ensuring national capability, rather than focusing on gender-based regulation. The platform is value-driven, prioritizing competence and the objectives of economic growth.
