By Plenary Sessions: Madis Timpson

The political position is procedural and neutral, focusing on the discussion of the draft adoption of the international protocol and the communication of consensus decisions. It was emphasized that the accession will be handled within the existing budget, indicating fiscal responsibility and the implementation of policy within existing resources.

The speaker positions themselves as a neutral rapporteur of the bill's proceedings, focusing on the work of the Social Affairs Committee and the procedural steps involved. The political stance supports the proposals put forth by the Ministry of Social Affairs, emphasizing that the new parental benefit system is more favorable and optimal than the existing survivor's pension, while simultaneously broadening the target group of beneficiaries. The position is strongly policy- and data-driven, focusing on improving the system.

The political focus is directed toward supporting Central Estonia and reducing bureaucracy. The speaker strongly supports providing targeted assistance to Central Estonia, arguing that current regional measures (which cover cities, Ida-Viru, and Southeast Estonia) do not include them. He also stressed the need to continue the zero-bureaucracy program launched in 2015, criticizing the previous government for failing to treat it as a priority.
