The political framework is primarily value-based (focused on defending the democratic rule of law) and results-oriented (highlighting the deteriorating economy).

The speaker focuses on the government's actions in the fields of demography and tax policy, expressing strong opposition and labeling the demographic situation in Estonia as catastrophic. He demands accountability and explanations from the state concerning the large fine imposed by the European Commission, which underscores a strong, results-oriented focus critical of the government's performance. The main themes are supporting large families and the responsible management of state finances.

The political stance is highly critical of the quality and rationale behind the political statements put forth by the coalition majority, particularly when those statements are justified on non-legal grounds.

The most prominent issues are Estonia's demographic crisis, which is considered catastrophic, along with the government's political culture and fiscal policy. The political stance is firmly opposed to tax hikes, cuts to family benefits, and the Prime Minister's unexpected proposal for a 5% increase in defense spending. Criticism is directed at the inefficiency of the government's operations and its reliance on political technology tactics.

The core political position is one of strong concern regarding Estonia's demographic crisis and the decline of the nation, emphasizing the necessity of a positive turnaround in the birth rate.

The speaker emphasizes that the state must be invested in increasing the number of children and must offer support to achieve this.

The political stance heavily focuses on improving the transparency of the state budget, prioritizing a cost-based budget over an activity-based one, as this is clearer and more understandable for both the public and the members of parliament (MPs).
