General information

I am a social democrat who believes in each person’s right to live a life of dignity. In order to ensure that, the state must be supportive and tolerant toward its people and value the individuality of each person.
In the Riigikogu, I will continue with the activities and support the issues I dealt with as the Minister of Entrepreneurship.Export is one of the keys to the success of Estonia. The state has to assist its entrepreneurs in it by supporting product development and helping to find markets.
