Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The political platform is heavily focused on security and national defense, urgently demanding withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention and the reintroduction of anti-personnel mines, deeming any contrary action "suicidal." Another key issue is the criticism directed at green policy (the so-called "green craze"), which jeopardizes the sustainability of aviation and drives up costs. The speaker frames their views based on core values and as historical criticism regarding the naivety of previous governments when assessing the threat posed by Russia.

The speaker criticizes the government for imposing duties on local authorities without providing adequate funding, and for the ongoing depopulation of rural regions despite the measures that have been put in place. The criticism is primarily outcome-based, highlighting the significant gap between the government's promises and the actual results.
