Üldinfo

As a citizen of Estonia, I wish the public authorities to act economically and the maintenance of the Estonian state to be feasible for us. As a native of Viljandi and a farmer of Mulgimaa, I know the concerns and delights of both city and rural life, and therefore I attach importance to a regional policy that would balance the Tallinn-centered development. As a former minister, the development of rural life and agriculture are also close to my heart. At the same time we have to understand that Estonia is part of Europe, and our national interests have to be protected in a dignified manner also in Brussels.



Electoral district: Järvamaa and Viljandimaa

  • Austatud juhataja! Lugupeetud kolleegid! Ilmselt veendusime täna taas kord, et Riigikogu töö kuulub kaunite kunstide valdkonda, sest see draama, mida opositsioonisaadikud siin saalis Eesti ühiskonnast etendasid, ei kajasta tegelikkust. Eestis ei ole mingisugust valitsuskriisi ja Eesti kui
