15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The political position is fiercely oppositional, criticizing the government’s actions against the backdrop of declining living standards, tax hikes, and a lack of positive outlook. The speaker vehemently opposes draft legislation concerning the social sphere (state fees, unemployment insurance, psychological assistance) as well as the removal of voting rights from Russian citizens. The focus remains on the negative impact of the government’s policies on citizens, particularly pensioners and the less affluent, which points strongly to performance-based criticism. Regarding the voting rights issue, emphasis is placed on the violation of the principles of democracy and the rule of law through collective punishment.
