By Plenary Sessions: Luisa Rõivas

The political focus is on maximizing the utilization of the European Union’s Multiannual Financial Framework and on strategic investments. The speaker strongly supports advancing European security (defense, infrastructure) and digital sovereignty (artificial intelligence), stressing that these constitute investments in the future of Estonia and democracy. The political framework is clearly policy- and value-based, urging Estonia to take a leading role.

The political stance centers on monitoring the outcomes and metrics of the expansion of the e-residency program (specifically, cardless e-residency). There is an emphasis on the necessity of understanding how the growth in company formation is derived and how this will be quantified moving forward. This position is primarily policy- and performance-driven, aiming for social connectivity alongside economic gain.

The political position is strongly in favor of increasing defense spending, deeming it the only correct decision given the current security situation. However, the speaker simultaneously expresses concern regarding the historically large state budget deficit and the lack of a plan for achieving long-term fiscal balance. The focus is on policy implementation and long-term planning, rather than value-based debate.
