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.

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.
