15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu extraordinary session.
The most crucial issue is the defense of the Estonian state’s core values and security posture within the context of the Russian Federation's aggression. The speaker is strongly opposed to Infrastructure Minister Vladimir Svet continuing in office due to his previous statements regarding the status of Crimea and the collapse of the Soviet Union. This political stance is clearly value-based, emphasizing that this individual is not suitable to serve as a member of the Government of the Republic in this country and at this time. Criticism is also aimed at the Prime Minister’s lack of an adequate response concerning these personnel choices.

The political position is strongly opposed to the government's tax hikes (especially the car tax), highlighting the economic recession and public uncertainty. The core demand is the immediate reduction of governing costs through a negative supplementary budget, rather than raising taxes. The stance is based on both policy and performance, accusing the government of systematically creating uncertainty. On behalf of Isamaa, they promise to abolish the car tax in the future.

15th Riigikogu, Extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The political stance is strongly opposed to the swift implementation of the car tax, highlighting both procedural and constitutional concerns. The opposition frames this as a violation of legitimate expectation, citing Section 41 of the Taxation Procedure Act concerning the required six-month notice period. This position is clearly grounded in policy and legal norms, questioning the constitutionality of the draft bill.
