4 Speeches

The opposition is directed at the proposal made by colleague Urmas Reinsalu to exclude the provision concerning the initiation of the denunciation of international treaties from the draft bill. The criticism is intense and grounded in constitutional arguments, stressing that the Riigikogu cannot initiate denunciation bills itself, as this is the prerogative of the executive branch (the Government of the Republic). The objections were rejected by a vote in the committee.

The main adversary is Russia, which is described as an aggressor restoring an empire, engaged in an undeclared war against the West, and threatening Estonia's sovereignty. Criticism is also aimed at the great powers of Western Europe for their historical mistake of disarmament and their current lack of political will to invest sufficiently in defense. The speaker warns against those who hope for a quick peace "at any cost" or attempt to achieve lasting peace by communicating directly with Putin.

The opposition's stance is aimed at members of the Riigikogu (such as Mr. Grünthal, Mr. Poolamets) who question the rigging of the Georgian elections or the appropriateness of adopting the statement. The criticism is fundamental, accusing the opponents of failing to understand Estonia's security interests and linking their views to historical naivety (a reference to the June 1940 elections).

The primary criticism is leveled against the Russian regime, which stands accused of committing crimes of genocidal scale, both historically (under the Soviet regime) and currently, within the context of the ongoing war of aggression in Ukraine. The criticism is intense, focusing specifically on crimes, occupation, and illegal annexation. It is stressed that impunity must not be allowed to result in victory—a stance that directly opposes Russia’s actions.

Neither opposing political forces nor opponents are directly criticized. Only a previous situation is mentioned, specifically where the then-President of the Republic was compelled not to promulgate a law. While this alluded to a prior political obstruction, it is framed purely as historical context.

4 Speeches

The main criticism is aimed at the critics of the draft law, who are accused of anti-Estonian state activity and ignoring the current situation. Russian President Vladimir Putin is unequivocally referred to as an "autocrat," whose goal is to change the world order. The speaker stresses that while the debate must take place within the context of a rule of law, there must be no doubt regarding any action that helps Ukraine achieve victory.
