Üldinfo

I am involved in politics because I believe that our future depends on the efforts of each one of us, and that politics is too important to be left only to professional politicians. I think that ordinary people who have experience in other fields of life are also needed in politics. It is especially true of Estonia as a small nation state where every citizen has to give their contribution to the development of the society and ensuring the sovereignty of our country.
