Political Position
The political position is divided: one speaker focuses on social protection against cyberbullying and damage to mental health, while the other emphasizes a strong, forward-looking vision where artificial intelligence is a strategic tool for the Estonian economy and legal system. The representative of Eesti 200 stresses the necessity of turning governance 180 degrees, placing citizen convenience at the core of the system and striving to be world-leading. This is a strongly value-based and results-oriented position.
