Vandeadvokaat Carri Ginter has penned a critique of Estonia's governance, suggesting the nation's focus on creating new regulations overshadows its ability to effectively solve existing problems. He posits that if Estonia's problem-solving capabilities matched its rule-making output, the country would already be a global leader in efficient management. Ginter's commentary, published in Postimees, reflects on the current state of affairs.

If the state solved problems as successfully as it creates new rules, Estonia would probably already be the best-managed country in the world.

Drawing a parallel to the article's observations, Ginter reveals he is personally working on a draft law. He describes this initiative as a 'law to take back freedom.' While the specifics of this proposed legislation are not detailed, Ginter's framing suggests a concern about existing or potential government overreach and a desire to restore or protect individual liberties through legal means. The commentary implies a broader dissatisfaction with the direction of Estonian policy and regulation.

I also have a draft 'law to take back freedom' in progress.
