XV Riigikogu, V Session, Plenary Sitting
The political position is clearly anti-bureaucratic, especially concerning European Union regulations such as ESG reporting, which, in his estimation, should either be abolished or made voluntary. He supports the Isamaa party's proposal to postpone ESG for two years, though he stresses that this is only a partial solution. Criticism is also leveled at inefficient waste management logistics, calling into question the minister's assertions regarding cost savings.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political position is strongly oppositional to the policies of the government (Reform Party, SDE, E200), focusing on hypocrisy, the growth of state administrative costs, and the ongoing economic decline. The most acute issues are the nation's demographic decline, uncontrolled immigration, and the "green frenzy" in the energy sector, all of which are treated as threats to the country's long-term survival. The political platform is firmly framed through the lens of economic common sense and national responsibility, demanding drastic expenditure cuts.

The political stance heavily focuses on the legal liability and financial obligations stemming from international prisoner transfer agreements.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political stance centers on significantly boosting the rights of local municipalities when it comes to restricting or banning the traffic of rental light personal vehicles and small mopeds. This position is heavily policy-driven, stressing the necessity of regulating urban space to ensure safety and reasonable usage, given that the current legal framework is inadequate. The objective is not to impose new bans, but rather to empower local authorities to address the situation in accordance with community needs.
