15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The political focus is on restricting the electorate solely to citizens of the Republic of Estonia, opposing the constitutional enshrinement of voting rights for individuals with undetermined citizenship. This is a strongly value-based position, supported by the Estonian Nationalists and Conservatives party. The speaker supports the current bill under consideration (the bill proposed by 26 deputies) only because a stricter, citizenship-based bill is not currently being debated. He/She also calls into question the success of previous integration policies, citing the failure of leftist concepts.
