By Plenary Sessions: Henn Põlluaas

The political position is focused on making regulations more logical, particularly concerning driver’s license categories. The speaker strongly supports ("fully agrees with") the proposal presented and questions the reasonableness of the current examination requirement for the BE category. The framework is policy-based, emphasizing that the system "oddly enough" renders existing skills void.

The speaker strongly opposes regulations that entail significant costs (e.g., establishing a large-scale structure and managing its recycling/reprocessing), especially in the absence of a cost-benefit analysis. The primary concern is the inevitable shifting of these costs onto the consumer, which suggests a robust economic and performance-based framework. He considers the argument that producers will absorb these costs to be "quite naive."

The most prominent topic is the Slava Ukraini scandal and the demand for the return of the money allegedly stolen by Maria Lehtme. The speaker adopts a fiercely critical position regarding the inaction of the Slava Ukraini board and stresses the necessity of recovering the funds donated by the public. This stance is heavily focused on demanding accountability and transparency, framing the issue as political cronyism.

The speaker strongly criticizes the government's inaction in establishing the defense industry park, deeming the slow pace of the process, especially compared to Latvia and Lithuania, embarrassing. The core argument is results-driven, stressing the necessity of state-backed purchase guarantees to attract investment and secure a vital ammunition stockpile. He emphasizes that the state is creating obstacles for investors, which significantly impede the development of defense capabilities.

The political stance involves strong opposition to poorly prepared draft legislation, especially in the absence of a financial impact analysis and proper accounting for taxpayer costs. Concern is also raised regarding the total cost of increased ticket prices and compensations. Furthermore, skepticism is expressed concerning the likelihood of intervention by European Union crisis mechanisms (ESM) and the subsequent compensation of Estonian expenditures. The position is fundamentally procedural and outcome-oriented (demanding accountability).

The political position is strongly rooted in defense and security, forcefully supporting withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention as a "correct and justified decision." The stance is results-oriented, criticizing the government's inaction or silence regarding the production and acquisition of landmines, and demanding concrete plans and clarity. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of landmines, citing the events in Ukraine.

The political position centers on opposing the government, particularly regarding the car tax, which is viewed as ideologically extreme and socially inequitable. Strong emphasis is placed on adhering to the Riigikogu's rules of procedure and the Constitution, demanding a simple majority for decisions that do not necessitate legislative amendments. Furthermore, they support national and historical foreign policy initiatives (Königsberg) and oppose the closure of consulates. The political framework is strongly oriented towards rules and values, leading to sharp criticism of the Riigikogu Board's actions.
