XV Riigikogu

General information

I want to live in an Estonia where everyone is free to make their own choices, where education, health care, and social welfare are accessible to everyone regardless of their income or place of residence, and where all workers get decent pay. My priority is to make sure that we have good health care, that we work smarter, and that equal treatment becomes the norm. Only through a caring society that pulls together can we ensure Estonia’s viability.
