15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political position is strongly opposed to the minister’s plan to reorganize the schools on Hiiumaa under the framework of vocational education and regional policy, viewing this as a major blow to the local community. This stance aims to preserve educational institutions within the county and rests on strong political and legal foundations, raising questions about the decision's soundness and legality.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
The political position is strongly oriented towards supporting the social sector and people with special needs, emphasizing the state's moral obligation. The most acute issue is the underfunding of special welfare services (a shortfall of 50 million euros) and the isolation of families. This position is value-based, stressing the inherent worth of every individual and the need to establish a sense of social security. The state has failed to prioritize this area, a failure which the speaker strongly criticizes.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting.
It focuses heavily on crises within the social sector, particularly the quality and accountability of nursing homes, as well as economic well-being. The political stance is sharply anti-government, accusing the coalition (the Reform Party) of engaging in a tax spree, breaking promises, and harming lower-income groups. The framework is strongly value-driven and results-oriented, demanding clear accountability from the state and the protection of vulnerable populations. It views the government's tax increases (exceeding one billion euros) as a direct threat to people's ability to cope financially and to the country's economic outlook.

The political focus centers on clearly defining the chain of responsibility in social welfare (the Pihlakodu case) and evaluating the ethical and moral legitimacy of Supreme Court rulings. The presenter adopts a strongly value-driven position, demanding a reduction in the scope for interpretation within the legislation to prevent the evasion of responsibility. The main themes relate to ensuring societal security and justice.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political position is one of strong opposition to the ongoing social reform, which would establish a unified base rate, thereby leaving many target groups without necessary support. This stance is both value-based (citing a lack of justice) and results-oriented (given that the government's actual track record is one of worsening the situation), accusing the leading party of deception. The speaker, representing Isamaa, supports the proposal to terminate the proceedings of the draft bill.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The speaker's political focus is centered on sharply criticizing the failure of the social welfare reform and the resulting poverty among pensioners, emphasizing that the government has failed to deliver on its promises regarding the availability of nursing home placements affordable with the average pension. Another key issue is the depopulation of rural areas and the deepening regional inequality, which the speaker attributes to the government's tax policy. The political stance is fiercely oppositional and performance-driven, demanding accountability and comprehensive, well-considered solutions from the administration.
