Üldinfo

I hold national conservative views, and my ideal is a Europe of nation states. Estonia is a part of our common European home. When we make Estonia better, we also make the whole Europe better.
However, our state of Estonia is becoming alienated from the Estonian values. Migration from the east has again increased drastically, the universities are on the way towards giving education in English, birth rate is below reproduction level. Maybe these degeneration processes are inevitable. But in that case, I would like to be sure that it is our informed choice. The citizens must be given a possibility to express their opinion clearly, or in other words, the possibility to initiate binding referenda must be returned to our society.

  • Isikut tõendavate dokumentide seaduse muutmise ja sellega seonduvalt teiste seaduste muutmise seaduse eelnõu (366 SE) teine lugemine
  • Minu head nime mainiti mitu korda selles ettekandes ja ma pean vasturepliigi tegema. Vaadake, tõepoolest, et käesoleva eelnõu ja selle superandmebaasi loomise üheks argumendiks on kuritegevuse tõkestamine. Me ei tea, kas sellest võiks olla kasu või ei või olla kasu mitte. Ma saan aru, et et hea koll
