Member of the Riigikogu

Üldinfo

As a member of the Riigikogu, I would like to contribute to the development of Estonia in the fields of national defence and security. I also think that it is important to promote education, especially in the field of physical education and sports. I also support the updating of our business environment. The structure of the state of Estonia needs to be optimised and it is necessary to limit bureaucracy, therefore I support the idea of the state reform.
