By Plenary Sessions: Tiit Maran

The political focus is centered on the debate over implementing nuclear energy (SMR) in Estonia, a topic widely regarded as extremely complex and ambiguous.

They also question whether Estonia even needs nuclear energy to solve its energy problems.

The politician strongly emphasizes the strategic importance of veterinary medicine for ensuring food security and public health. He supports increasing funding for the Estonian University of Life Sciences and boosting the training of veterinarians. He approaches these issues systematically, highlighting the crucial need to ensure sustainability given limited resources. Furthermore, he raises the necessity of reforming agriculture to mitigate mounting environmental challenges.

The political focus centers on the close link between economic growth and environmental protection, emphasizing that economic activity cannot be separated from the environment. While ambitious economic plans are acknowledged, concerns are being raised about whether the impact on the living environment and its buffering capacity were sufficiently considered during the planning process. This position is aimed at ensuring the integrity of the policy and is fundamentally inquisitive.

The speaker supports achieving national defense objectives and necessary amendments (e.g., for conducting the Spring Storm exercise), but strongly emphasizes the quality of legislation and procedural correctness.
