15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, plenary session
The political stance is strongly oppositional, focusing on critical issues concerning national security (the Moscow Patriarchate, voting rights for Russian citizens) and economic policy (tax increases, lack of budget transparency). The necessity for consensus on fundamental issues is stressed, but the government (especially the Minister of the Interior) is accused of blocking solutions to security risks and prioritizing partisan political interests over national interests. The political framework is strongly value-based, emphasizing Estonian sovereignty and the security of future generations.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The political stance sharply focuses on the skyrocketing administrative burden placed on businesses amidst the current recession.

The position is strongly adversarial and is grounded in criticism of the government’s inefficiency and dishonesty. The objective is to prevent a new bureaucratic standard from taking effect, as it fails to comply with the promised "one in, one out" rule.
