By Plenary Sessions: Tõnis Mölder

The political stance is strongly aimed at reforming the detailed planning process to establish strict deadlines for local governments and reduce bureaucratic delays. Emphasis is placed on the need to start calculating deadlines from the submission of the application, rather than the initiation, citing the lengthy delays experienced in Tallinn. The position is clearly policy- and efficiency-centric, seeking to balance the costs incurred by businesses and the right of residents to have a say.

The most prominent topics are the fiscal transparency of the state budget and the sustainability of dividends from state-owned enterprises (especially RMK). The political stance is moderately critical, demanding a detailed explanation from the minister regarding both the sources of revenue from land clearing fees and the justifications for increasing dividends. Furthermore, solutions are being sought to incentivize renewable energy projects concerning the land clearing fees.

The political focus centers on the legislative process and the protection of fundamental rights. The speaker questions whether the ministry’s proposed amendments guarantee the equal treatment of natural and legal persons within the context of the restriction of rights under the law. The overall approach is primarily procedural and rights-focused, emphasizing the constitutional compliance of the draft bill.

The most prominent issue is the postponement or outright abolition of mandatory sustainability reporting, aimed at reducing the administrative burden and bureaucracy for businesses. Although the Commission decided to put the draft proposal to a vote, the speaker stresses that Estonia must, in the future, formulate its positions regarding the European Union with a parliamentary mandate. The position itself is rather policy- and procedure-focused, highlighting the necessity of reducing bureaucracy while still acknowledging the objectives of the Green Deal.

The speaker is focusing on a specific piece of legislation, stressing its compliance with Estonian legal orders and fundamental principles. They strongly support the new government's draft law, citing positive feedback from both business organizations and the Chancellor of Justice in order to push back against criticism. The political framework is heavily centered on policy and legal norms.

The political stance focuses on clarifying the historical genesis of the Tallinn Hospital project. The position is aimed at factual accuracy, emphasizing that the idea actually dates back to the year 2000, not 2015. This is more of a procedural and historical clarification, rather than an expression of political support for or opposition to the project itself.

The political stance is moderately supportive of reducing bureaucracy, generally viewing it as a commendable objective. However, strong skepticism is expressed regarding the practical impact of the specific renewable energy draft bill, which, in the view of entrepreneurs, amounts to little more than "window dressing." The position is results-oriented, focusing on the law's actual effect on the business environment.

The political focus is directed towards the decline of the European Green Deal’s objectives and the strategic errors associated with them. The speaker expresses concern that the problem of climate warming is no longer being tackled with a focused global approach, criticizing the direction taken by both major powers (China, USA) and the new European Commission. The stance is critical regarding the current trajectory of the Green Deal’s implementation, questioning whether the measures have been pushed too far or if communication errors were made.

The political focus is currently on restricting the voting rights of Russian and Belarusian citizens in local elections. The speaker strongly supports this measure and is, in fact, the initiator of the bill. He emphasizes the critical need to prevent a scenario where these restrictions fail to take effect before the 2025 local elections. The speaker criticizes the political showmanship and stresses that any constitutional amendment must serve the interests of the Estonian state, not the interests of political parties.

The political focus centers on two crucial issues: the revocation of voting rights for citizens of the Russian Federation and holders of the gray passport in local elections, and the fate of the draft Competition Act. The speaker is pressuring the prime ministerial candidate for clarity on how the new coalition intends to proceed with these urgent matters. These stances are aimed at fulfilling political promises and achieving legislative clarity.

The political position is strongly centered on the accuracy of parliamentary procedure and voting results. Specific political standpoints (economic or social) are not evident from the speech; the focus remains strictly on procedural correctness. The speaker defends the accurate recording of their vote (an abstention) in the official transcript.

The political focus is currently centered on the transparency and communication protocols of state agencies, specifically criticizing the actions of the Competition Authority regarding the disclosure of its analysis of the pharmacy reform. The speaker stresses the necessity of publishing the full text prior to any media commentary. This is crucial to prevent biased reporting and to ensure that politicians and market stakeholders are able to provide informed comments. Furthermore, avoiding conflicts of interest when analyzing political decisions remains a critical issue.

The political stance is strongly focused on demanding government accountability and procedural correctness concerning national development plans. The speaker criticizes the actions of the Minister of Climate because crucial documents, such as the Development Plans for the Environmental Sector and Forestry, are either stalled or completely missing, while work proceeds on a comprehensive climate law. The position is results-oriented, stressing the need for a holistic perspective and clear national direction, which these development plans ought to provide.

The political focus is on the state's economic and regulatory efficiency. The speaker stresses the necessity of finding a solution to ensure dispatchable energy production during the transition period, and criticizes the ineffectiveness of bans in controlling the black market for e-cigarettes. The viewpoints are pragmatic, emphasizing decisions that stem from the interests of the state, rather than the interests of a single private company concerning nuclear energy. He advocates for the legalization of certain products so that the black market collapses and the state can collect excise revenue.
