By Plenary Sessions: Reili Rand

The speaker focuses heavily on energy policy, questioning the expediency of constructing a nuclear power plant in Estonia. They criticize the government's actions, citing previous failures related to wind farm projects. This stance challenges the government's operational and planning competence, reflecting a strong orientation toward performance-based criticism.

The political focus is heavily centered on environmental and energy policy. The speaker criticizes the government for the absence of a strategic development document and for making isolated decisions (such as cuts to environmental education funding). Strong skepticism is also expressed regarding the economic feasibility of nuclear energy, citing international examples of cost overruns. These positions are policy- and results-driven, demanding strategic logic in decision-making.

The political position centers on strong opposition to the Hiiumaa vocational education reform, criticizing the ministry for rushing the process and ignoring the local community. Another key issue is improving the quality of the youth sector and ensuring youth workers are properly valued. The criticism targets both the procedure itself and the government’s self-assured approach, which disregards local impacts, thereby highlighting the risk of dismantling a functioning system.

The political position is strongly value-based, focusing on the lack of gender balance in national governing bodies (like the ERR council) and the government. The speaker, representing the Social Democrats, opposes decisions that entrench a recurring pattern and invisible injustice, stressing the need for systemic changes. The stance strongly supports equal opportunities and inclusion, while simultaneously remaining critical of the choices made by the government and the commission.

The political position focuses on the urgency of strengthening national defense and critiques the government's action (or inaction). We firmly maintain the view that the security situation demands significantly faster action from the government and the Minister of Defense, particularly concerning legislative amendments. This stance is heavily results-based, emphasizing the sluggishness of the processes.

The speaker supports reducing sensible regulations, but their primary focus remains on guaranteeing the quality and availability of school meals. They adopt a strong social justice stance, stressing that children's nutrition should not be dependent on the size of the family's bank account. This position is deeply rooted in policy and values, calling for state intervention to alleviate existing inequalities.

The political position is characterized by strong advocacy for regional policy and social justice, sharply criticizing government decisions that hinder regional development and create social instability. The sharpest criticism is leveled at the suspension of funding for the Haapsalu railway and the social impact of the casual wage bill. The approach is results-based, emphasizing that the government has withdrawn support from projects that were already prepared and financed. They demand equal treatment for island residents, treating the ferry connection as an extension of the national highway network.
