By Plenary Sessions: Jaak Valge

The legislative focus is directed at the accountability of the executive branch and the correctness of policy formulation. The speaker acts as a policy corrector and advisor, recommending that the minister and their advisors always factor in inflation when discussing changes to benefits or salaries.

The focus is on the government's actions and the outcomes of social policy, rather than initiating or supporting specific pieces of legislation. The aim is to draw the government's attention to the negative trend in social statistics and demand political action to address it.

The legislative focus centers on opposing the draft bill that would expand the current e-voting system (to mobile devices) and on reforming the overall election procedure. The speaker supports the proposals of the NGO Fair Elections (MTÜ Ausad Valimised), which include granting observers the right to challenge [actions] and classifying information technology activities as formal procedures.

The main legislative priority is a bill that mandates the government to eliminate the fully duplicated Russian-language websites of ministries and other government agencies. The Speaker is the initiator and defender of the bill, viewing it as a symbolically significant step in boosting the prestige of the Estonian language.

Legislative attention is centered on regulations governing social content, specifically the rules banning homo- and gender-ideological propaganda aimed at protecting children and youth. Also crucial is the future of Estonian-language schooling in the context of migration, which indicates interest in education and integration laws.

The primary legislative priority is the initiation of education policy reform aimed at providing options for Ukrainian students, specifically through the establishment of Ukrainian-language schools operating under either the Estonian or Ukrainian curricula. The secondary priority is strengthening the internal oversight of the Prosecutor’s Office.

The speaker primarily focuses on criticizing government policy and demanding changes through parliamentary inquiries. Specific political priorities include increasing child benefits, tightening immigration rules, and raising the number of healthy life years to expand the workforce.
