Helir-Valdor Seeder

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.

  • Aitäh! Kuna Martin Helme ei väljendanud eelnõu numbrit ega nime, millega ta nõus ei olnud, siis ei olnud võimalik aru saada, millega ta nõus ei olnud. Ta ütles lihtsalt, et ta täpsustab: ei ole nõus. Aga kas ühega või teisega või mõlemaga, seda ta ei väljendanud. Seda te võite
