15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political position is predominantly oppositional, sharply criticizing the government's tax policy (the car tax, the supposed "saving" of income tax) as a hypocritical act of heroism. In legislative matters, it remains cautious, supporting the objective of the draft bill (the availability of advance directives/declarations of intent) but opposing its form due to value-based considerations (the danger of euthanasia).

XV Riigikogu, V Session, Plenary Sitting
The political position is strongly opposed to the proposed waste management reform, which is deemed confusing and contradictory to the goals of increasing recycling. The criticism centers on the practical consequences of the reform, such as changing the locations of waste bins and granting local municipalities (KOV) the right to issue invoices without performing any substantive activity. There is also suspicion that political motives might be behind the reform ("a little bit of squirrel").

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political position strongly emphasizes the serving of sentences and public safety, contrasting with the coalition partner’s expressed view of prison as a social and educational institution. The speaker expresses deep skepticism and opposition regarding the mechanism for bringing dangerous Swedish criminals (pedophiles, murderers) into Estonia, ironically terming it a “green corridor.” The focus is value-based, stressing the primacy of punishment.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political position is strongly value-based, standing in opposition to state intervention in the church's canonical law and to disproportionate measures. While the principle of the patient's declaration of will (or advance directive) is supported, the misleading wording and scope of the draft bill are sharply criticized; it should instead focus specifically on the refusal of treatment. The speaker warns that poorly executed legislation can discredit both the state and the government.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political position focuses heavily on the quality of environmental noise regulations and the protection of citizens. The speaker opposes delegating crucial regulatory details (such as setting target values) to the level of ministerial decree, instead demanding that they be regulated at the statutory level. This stance is clearly policy-driven and aimed at preventing problems, a necessity also highlighted by the Chancellor of Justice.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, fifth session, plenary session
The political focus is on assessing the financial impacts and effectiveness of the waste reform, emphasizing the cost of the reform to the taxpayer. The position taken is results-based and moderately critical, questioning whether the environmental goals justify the financial burden placed on society. A significant topic is the achievement of waste recycling targets and the associated costs.

15th Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session
The speaker's primary political focus is the critical analysis of the supplementary budget, questioning the urgency and timing of defense expenditures, given the ministry's reference to limited factory capacity. He prefers planning the costs for the next fiscal year, unless the need for an urgent supplementary budget is clearly justified. Furthermore, the need for detailed oversight regarding budget transfers within the administrative area of the Ministry of Culture is emphasized.
