General information
I believe that our country can be taken to a new level in education, security, governance, health care, economy and energy. I also believe that, with the help of right decisions, Estonia and our people can be smart and prosperous as well as different and special. The work of the Riigikogu must focus on the Estonian people, to whom I want to give faith and hope that Estonia will go on, along the path of openness, wisdom and freedom.
