By Plenary Sessions: Riina Solman

The political discourse revolves around population sustainability and the birth rate crisis, stressing the necessity of supporting large families and providing them with a sense of security. The speaker is vehemently opposed to the government’s austerity measures concerning family benefits and tax hikes, particularly the car tax, which undermines families’ ability to make ends meet. This political stance is deeply value-driven, focusing on the future of the nation and the state while criticizing the government's short-sightedness.

The political position is strongly aimed at blocking pro-Kremlin influence within decision-making bodies, a stance presented as that of the Isamaa party. Criticism is leveled at the lack of security assessments underpinning the Interior Minister's attitudes, as well as his previous opposition to Estonian-language instruction and the confiscation of weapons. This position is value-based and forcefully contrasts with political vote-seeking.

The political focus is heavily centered on national security and immigration control. The speaker highlights concerns regarding the voting rights of third-country nationals and the prevention of pro-Kremlin influence operations. This stance is values-driven, emphasizing Estonia's exceptionally large share of unintegrated immigrant population (33%) and the necessity of addressing this issue.

The speaker adopts a fiercely oppositional stance toward the ruling party Eesti 200, focusing on their incompetence and unethical conduct. Key points of emphasis include the government’s failure to honor agreements (regarding cuts and economic plans) and the misappropriation of intellectual property and trademarks. The critique targets both the party’s political performance and its underlying values, thereby calling the party’s overall credibility into question. The political framework employed is strongly results-oriented and ethical.

Politically, the speaker positions himself as a strong opponent of the sugar tax, criticizing it as merely a measure to fill the budget that fails to address actual health issues. He emphasizes the importance of good legislative practice and stakeholder inclusion, accusing the government of hypocrisy for ignoring the opinions of producers. Furthermore, a value-based position is crucial regarding the protection of religious freedom and the feelings of believers, supporting the plea made by the Council of Churches.
