The political position is centered on the internal atmosphere of the Riigikogu and the interpretation of procedural rules. The speaker intervenes to clarify whether the alleged insult grants all members the right to a rebuttal, while personally maintaining that they themselves have not been insulted. The focus is more on parliamentary conduct and procedural correctness than on specific political values.

Draft law amending the Church and Religious Communities Act (570 SE) – First Reading

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary sitting

This stance is deeply rooted in values, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and national security.

First Reading of the Draft Resolution of the Riigikogu (104 OE), titled "Making a Proposal to the Government of the Republic to Remove the So-Called Bronze Soldier Statue from Public Space"

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting

The political stance is strongly value-driven and centers on removing Soviet red symbolism from public spaces, stressing that the object in question is not a grave marker. While supporting the swift relocation of the monument, the speaker criticizes the draft bill for being too simplistic, as it lacks a clear plan for the monument's future fate. The consistent solution offered is moving the monument to a museum, where it can serve as a reminder of the horrific past and provide educational opportunities. In closing, the speaker expresses support for EKRE's position on resolving this matter.
