The speaker highlights Hiiumaa as a positive example, where kindergarten fees have been kept low and food costs are covered by the municipal budget, demonstrating a commitment to local-level practices. However, the overall focus remains on national policy, which aims to eliminate the disparity in financial capabilities among local governments.

Insufficient data.

The regional focus is extremely strong, centering on Estonia’s regional disparities, particularly the GDP differences between Harju County and Southeast Estonia. The speaker highlights the situation in Hiiumaa and identifies as a native of the island, demanding infrastructure investments and housing solutions specifically for these more remote areas.

A strong regional focus is placed on the Rohuküla railway project, which is important for the people of Läänemaa and Hiiumaa. The speaker demands a clear message from the government specifically for the residents of these regions, emphasizing the expectations of the local communities.

The regional focus is strong, concentrating on the deepening of regional inequality stemming from project-based funding, which tends to favor the better-performing local governments. Separate emphasis is placed on the sustainability of county hospitals and the issues surrounding the availability of specialists in smaller hospitals. The proposal to abolish the kindergarten place fee in the City of Tallinn and its subsequent impact on neighboring municipalities is also mentioned.
