Political Position
The political stance is vehemently opposed to the agreement between Estonia and Sweden concerning the enforcement of prison sentences. This position is value-driven and nation-centric, emphasizing that there is no clear benefit for the Estonian people and the state. The strength of this position is manifested in a direct question regarding the agreement's expediency.
