General information
I am a patriot of Estonia. Throughout my conscious life, I have in various ways been committed to increasing Estonia’s vitality. It is very important to me that a decent life would be possible everywhere in Estonia and that we give our children the best possible preparation for an independent life. These are the two most important goals to me in my work in the Riigikogu. I also consider it very important that full respect for people’s constitutional rights is ensured.
