Agenda Profile: Valdo Randpere

The primary focus is on amendments to the Riigikogu Rules of Procedure and Internal Rules Act, particularly concerning the obligation for ministers to appear before parliamentary committees. One side criticizes the previous instances of ignoring committees, while the opposing side defends the practice, stressing the committees' tendency to overstep their mandate in order to create a political spectacle. Also notable is a vigorous attempt to revise the historical narrative surrounding Kaja Kallas’s 2022 resignation and the subsequent formation of the government. The political stance is heavily procedure-focused, aimed either at condemning or justifying past instances of improper conduct.

Knowledge is demonstrated regarding the Riigikogu Rules of Procedure and Internal Rules Act and the competence of special committees, stressing the necessity of operating strictly within one's own mandate. Previous speakers exhibit detailed knowledge of recent history, correcting the timeline of the change in Kaja Kallas’s government with precise dates (June/July 2022). One speaker substantiates their arguments by quoting specific newspaper headlines.

The style is predominantly confrontational and accusatory, utilizing historical examples to condemn the opponents' behavior and justify the current situation. Sharp and emotional expressions such as "political performance" and "nonsense" are used, and there are personal remarks directed at opponents (e.g., Helle-Moonika Helme's "babbling"). The speakers employ a logical appeal, relying on procedural rules and historical facts.

The speeches were delivered in the Riigikogu chamber during the first reading of the bill, indicating active participation in the legislative process and direct debate. One speaker requested the floor for a rejoinder, demonstrating a desire to respond immediately to a personal reference. The pattern of behavior includes the active use of past events and media coverage within the parliamentary chamber.

The main opponents are Martin Helme and Mart Helme, who are criticized both for previous improper conduct (ignoring committees) and for distorting historical facts. The criticism is intense and targets both procedure and factual accuracy, accusing the opponents of spreading the false narrative of government usurpation. One speaker also criticizes the committees, which tend to take on matters outside their jurisdiction.

While there are no direct references to cooperation, one speaker does call for a joint condemnation of unethical behavior ('let us then jointly condemn it'). The emphasis is more on confrontation and highlighting past mistakes than on seeking compromises.
