Üldinfo

My priority is an independent and self-sufficient Estonia. The currency of the modern world is energy; this means that energy independence must be our goal in developing our economy and building our infrastructure. A country that does not depend on others is strong and capable of promoting entrepreneurship and supporting local governments that actively develop their region, and also has the means to help those who are unable to cope on their own. Estonia is strong when our people stand united.
