2025-01-15
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
Political Position
The political stance strongly supports state funding for the construction of the Tallinn Hospital, given that the resources from the European Union structural funds have been lost. This position is aimed at rectifying past failures, emphasizing that the state must now contribute its own resources. The highlighting of lost funds and spiteful decisions points to performance-driven criticism.
