15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting
The most striking stance is strong opposition to the government's plan to transfer Swedish prisoners to Tartu Prison, viewing this as the commodification of internal security. The position is value-based, emphasizing that Estonia must be a state that is cared for and protected, not a "prison." This political position strongly opposes the government's business plan, which replaces a security strategy with a business contract.

The 15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting
The political position is strongly opposed to the agreement on accepting Swedish prisoners, stressing the overload of the healthcare system and the shortage of specialists, which poses a threat to the mental health of Estonian children. The criticism also centers on the lack of transparency in the decision-making process and insufficient data (risk assessments, analysis), suggesting the government’s actions are untrustworthy. The framing utilizes both a value-based approach (protecting the Estonian people) and a results-based approach (the government’s failure to manage costs and risks).
