The 15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting.
The political position is strongly value-based, centered on protecting Estonia's historical memory and national resistance. The speaker emphasizes that the men who fought against the communists in German uniforms were freedom fighters who acted in response to Jüri Uluotsa's appeal. He sharply opposes any attempt to equate them with the occupying Red Army soldiers, viewing this as an insult to national heroes.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, fourth session, plenary session
The political focus is on national defense and artillery capability. The speaker strongly supports the 1.6 billion euro ammunition acquisition but simultaneously criticizes the strategic planning, noting the lack of artillery pieces (the guns/barrels) required to utilize that ammunition. He emphasizes that the current volume of armament is negligible, especially considering the length of the border between Estonia and Russia.
