By Plenary Sessions: Anti Poolamets

The central theme is the strong opposition to closing the Estonian Consulate General in New York. This move is viewed as contradicting Estonia's foreign policy development plan and damaging the nation's interests. The stance is deeply value-based, stressing the significance of legal continuity, the consulate's role as a national symbol, and the importance of deepening cooperation with the United States. The closure is considered a misguided signal and a false economy (savings in the wrong place) that must be overturned.

The political position is strongly critical of the government's energy policy, specifically regarding the shutdown of dispatchable capacity and the deployment of non-dispatchable sources, which is resulting in power outages. The speaker expresses profound skepticism toward the rhetoric surrounding the "green transition," arguing that, in their estimation, this shift is actually leading to environmentally harmful phosphorite mining and the massive, unlimited transport of gravel and sand required for the Rail Baltic project. The criticism is aimed at both the policy's efficacy and its underlying value-based dishonesty.

The political position is strongly value-driven, focusing on protecting Estonia's historical memory and the legacy of its struggle for independence. The speaker opposes the Minister of the Interior’s actions in confiscating the Lihula monument, accusing the government of violating constitutional principles and engaging in arbitrary rule. A significant topic is also the crisis in police funding and personnel policy, the resolution of which is deemed a priority over symbolic actions.

The most crucial topic is the development and support of the domestic drone industry. The political stance is strongly supportive, emphasizing that current efforts are insufficient and require a multi-fold acceleration. The focus is on performance and national capability within this rapidly evolving technological sector.

The most prominent issue is the removal of the Lihula monument and the obstruction of memorial events dedicated to freedom fighters. The speaker strongly opposes the government’s actions, accusing them of coordinating the monument’s dismantling and attacking the symbols of the Estonian freedom struggle. This stance is value-based, stressing the necessity of separating the Estonian freedom struggle from the symbols of the aggressor state. Criticism directed at the government is intense, citing their complicity and a panicked reaction.

The political position is strongly anti-government, focusing on financial waste (37 million euros allocated for bog restoration) and failed social reforms (specifically, the transition to the Estonian language). Key themes include the necessity of austerity, the decline of rural life, and the quality of Estonian language instruction. The policy framing is strongly value-based, emphasizing the destruction of historical labor and the cultural landscape.
