15th Riigikogu, 4th sitting, plenary session
The political position is strongly oppositional, focusing on the government's inaction regarding security issues (specifically, voting rights for citizens of the aggressor state) and the restriction of economic freedoms (such as the nationalization of the pharmaceutical market). Criticism is directed at the government's priorities, which are dismissed as mere displacement activities and hastily pushed-through draft legislation. The need to protect economic freedom and the private sector is emphasized, alongside warnings against socialist measures. The critique maintains a dual focus: both values-based (protecting religious communities) and results-oriented (the budget and energy prices).
