By Plenary Sessions: Margit Sutrop

The most salient issue is the draft legislation concerning the patient’s end-of-life advance directive, which the speaker strongly supports on behalf of the Reform Party, stressing that it is entirely in the patient’s best interests. This political stance is value-based, emphasizing the protection of patient autonomy and a necessary shift away from paternalistic medicine. The speaker stresses that the bill aims to grant the patient control over their life and death in situations where they are incapacitated.

The political position focuses on the impact of technological changes (artificial intelligence) within the cultural sector. The speaker emphasizes a balanced approach, acknowledging both immense opportunities (such as heritage preservation) and threats (copyright issues, the decline in the value of human artists). This is a policy-driven framework seeking strategic direction from the Minister for managing these risks and opportunities.

The speaker firmly supports the principle that people should not have to pay for non-existent assets, and moderately supports the specific amendment designed to solve this problem. The political focus is directed toward the unfair implementation of the car tax and the resulting burden placed upon citizens. The focus is policy- and results-driven, concentrating on correcting errors in the legislative process.
