15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Information Hour
The most striking issue is the consistency of Estonia's foreign policy towards China, especially concerning China's role in the context of the war in Ukraine. The speaker calls into question the government's shift in policy, stressing that China is a global power with which diplomatic relations are necessary. At the same time, he demands clarification as to why the visits of Riigikogu members to China were previously criticized, while the Foreign Minister is now doing the exact same thing. The stance is strongly aimed at exposing the government's political inconsistency.
