The speaker firmly and strongly supports the position that the Estonian people should directly elect their president, employing value-based argumentation and citing Finland’s positive example. Although the bill under consideration is viewed as a step in the right direction, it is emphasized that it does not yet constitute the definitive solution. The political focus remains directed toward improving the democratic procedure.

The political stance is highly supportive of Estonia's positions regarding the European Union's long-term budget, commending the depth and critical approach demonstrated in the report.

The political emphasis lies in Estonia fulfilling its international commitments and demonstrating solidarity with the European Union through military training missions. The speaker strongly supports Draft Resolution 706 OE, which extends our contribution to the Mozambique mission, while simultaneously stressing the need to deepen bilateral relations with Portugal, the lead nation. This stance is policy- and value-based, underscoring the importance of mutual contribution (for instance, Portugal’s involvement in Baltic Air Policing).

The political position focuses heavily on improving parliamentary procedure and transparency. The speaker supports establishing a new tradition that would allow the Prime Minister to answer questions and engage in dialogue, given that the topics are already known to members of the Riigikogu and the media. This is a strongly procedural stance, the failure of which was noted with regret.

The primary focus is placed on the role and duty of the elected representative to ensure the public understands the content of the draft legislation. The political focus centers on procedural transparency and the necessity of utilizing the experience of similar countries (Latvia, Lithuania) when resolving the legislative issue. The stance is moderately supportive, concentrating on the external evaluation of the bill (530 SE).

There is strong political support for extending the deployment of the Defence Forces in the European Union mission in Mozambique (EUMAM Mozambique) until the end of 2025.

The speaker stresses the need to ensure robust legal guarantees and status for those participating in the mission.

The speaker strongly supports the procedural advancement of Bill 480 (Extension of the Deployment of the Defence Forces in Mozambique), emphasizing the consensus decision of the National Defence Committee.

This position is purely procedural and policy-driven, focusing on the work organization of the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament).

The main focus is on regional defense cooperation and exploring ideas for establishing a new Nordic army, which have been prompted by international meetings.

Emphasis is placed on the growth of Iceland’s defense resolve and the necessity of understanding the security situation in Ukraine and the Baltic states.

The speaker heavily emphasizes foreign policy and security issues, deeming them the most critical at the moment ("matters of great magnitude"). The focus is on Estonia's position within NATO and the European Union, as well as relations with Russia and Ukraine. The political framework is value-based, centered on the nation's strategic security and international standing.

The speaker positions himself as a neutral facilitator, focusing on the procedural flow and legal intricacies of the Riigikogu Draft Resolution (331 OE). The central issue is the proposal to mandate reservists to store firearms and ammunition at home, the implementation of which would necessitate substantial amendments to existing legislation. The overall approach is grounded in policy and procedure, emphasizing the critical need to ensure legislative compliance.

The political focus is on the debate over the location of the extension to the National Opera Estonia, where the speaker supports the initiative (and thanks the initiator). They take a strong personal stand against the existing glass pavilion/café, deeming it absolutely inappropriate for the park setting. The position is primarily value-based, focusing on architectural compatibility and aesthetics.

The political position is heavily focused on evaluating the government's performance, particularly concerning the actions of the previous Reform Party minister. The primary issue raised is the question of compensation and salaries within the veterinary sector, a resolution for which, in the speaker’s estimation, remains far off. The criticism is aimed at past actions, rather than political values per se.
