By Plenary Sessions: Anti Poolamets

The primary legislative focus is opposition to the forthcoming climate law and the entire climate policy framework, which is viewed as nationally significant but economically detrimental. The speaker is a strong opponent of this specific bill and its associated policies, actively seeking to discredit the underlying scientific and and economic premises upon which they are based.

The legislative focus is on opposing the government's draft bill regarding the inclusion of the non-citizen franchise in the constitution, while simultaneously supporting a counter-proposal that would prioritize citizenship. The speaker is an active opponent, criticizing the ambiguous wording of the draft bill and the work of the Constitutional Committee.

The legislative focus is aimed at ensuring adherence to parliamentary procedural rules and the government's accountability for the transparency of the state budget. Specific bills or legislative priorities that the speaker would initiate or support are not mentioned in the text.

The key legislative priority is the establishment and operation of parliamentary investigative committees, particularly concerning the Rail Baltic and Johanna-Maria Lehtme/Slava Ukraini cases. The speaker is a strong advocate for these committees, viewing them as a necessary mechanism for establishing the truth in situations where law enforcement bodies are failing to function. They point to the work of the VEB Fund committee as a positive example.

The legislative focus is directed towards the critical scrutiny of foreign mission mandates and restricting the powers of the executive branch, which often come at the expense of parliament. The preference is for retaining Parliament’s right to decide and, when necessary, utilizing the format of extraordinary sessions for making quick decisions, rather than issuing blank checks. Clarity is demanded regarding the legal basis of the missions and the renewal of their mandates.

The legislative focus is currently directed toward opposing the hate speech law (dubbed the censorship law), which is widely viewed as unconstitutional and having the spirit of 1934. The development of the concession law, specifically concerning the mining of mineral resources, is also a key issue. Furthermore, there is a demand for the establishment of a state commission on the Rail Baltic project to investigate financial flows.

The speaker's focus is on continuing existing policies (e.g., housing support) and improving the operations of state institutions (e.g., the police). They demand concrete action plans from the government (such as the relocation of jobs) and oppose the closure of the Jõhvi courthouse, which they view as an issue of policy implementation rather than legislation.
