Üldinfo

I come from Kanepi municipality in Põlva County. I believe that we need to put more effort into strengthening our team spirit. We also need to ensure that the state can put more trust in local governments because these are closer to the people and are therefore best placed to organise life at the local level. The equal development of all our regions is paramount for our national development and security. I want everyone anywhere in the Estonian countryside to feel good and safe, and I want to safeguard the Estonian language, culture, and traditions.
