By Plenary Sessions: Rain Epler

The speaker is a prominent opposition politician who criticizes the government's direction in both social and energy policy. He opposes excessive state intervention in the lives of children and the growth of bureaucracy in the social sector. Furthermore, he advocates for a common-sense energy policy, supporting nuclear power while opposing subsidized wind and solar energy. His positions are strongly rooted in values (family rights versus state rights) and policy considerations (energy cost-effectiveness).

The political position is firmly in opposition to the government’s activities, focusing primarily on the irresponsible state budget, the increase in tax revenue at the expense of the less affluent, and the breaking of election promises (especially regarding the tax-exempt average pension). Furthermore, there is strong opposition to spending taxpayer money on accelerating the development of renewable energy (wind and solar parks). The position is strongly value-driven, emphasizing political dishonesty and systemic corruption.

The political stance is strongly opposed to the government's green transition policy, which is deemed ideologically flawed and compared to slogans used for building communism. The primary priority emphasized is improving defense capabilities, recommending a pause on construction supported by "green-crazy" subsidies. The criticism is primarily value-based and performance-driven, focusing on the government's failure to address energy poverty and establish correct priorities.

The political position strongly focuses on the equal valuation of kindergarten teachers compared to school teachers, while criticizing the termination of linking nursery school teachers' salaries. Another key issue is youth mental health and a critique aimed at the excessive tendency to raise children "in cotton wool," stressing the importance of risk awareness. The speaker's approach is strongly value-driven, focusing on justice and fostering healthy life attitudes.

The political focus is currently centered on questions regarding the integrity of government communication and political tactics, particularly concerning the sensitive issue of national security (Russian special services). The speaker criticizes the minister’s actions as a tactic designed purely for "scoring political points," involving the release of factually unsubstantiated claims into the media. The criticism is heavily aimed at the minister’s political conduct and the lack of concrete detail provided when addressing parliament.

The primary focus is on the trustworthiness and transparency of e-elections, expressing strong opposition to the current system and the legislative framework defending it. The political stance is value-based, emphasizing that the democratic system must be comprehensible even to citizens without specialized education. They also criticize setting convenience as the primary goal of democratic processes, pointing out that this has resulted in the coalition's failure to adhere to the laws.

The political focus is directed at the integrity of the Riigikogu's work procedures and the consistent application of rules, criticizing the session chair for making decisions based on party affiliation. The substantive position is one of strong opposition to the banks' extraordinary profits, which arose due to central bank interest rate hikes, demanding that these profits be returned to society. The framework for these positions is predominantly procedural and policy-based.

The political position centers on strong opposition to the prime minister's alleged categorization of people and the destruction of national unity. The speaker criticizes the head of government for not wanting to be the "prime minister of the entire country," and demands accountability for statements characterizing residents of the counties. The focus is on the prime minister's unethical conduct and the government's performance.

The most prominent themes are political accountability and the criteria for a minister remaining in office, with the speaker demanding that responsibility be taken in the event of major failures. The speaker adopts a strong values-based stance, opposing "gender-affirming" medical clinics and criticizing the Minister of Education's pseudoscientific views regarding the number of sexes. The focus involves criticizing both the government's performance and its values. The political position is strongly oppositional, casting doubt on the motives of the coalition (Eesti 200 and the Reform Party).
