The 2025 Political Reforms.

The 2025 Political Reform was a series of Reforms that took place in 2025, resulting in Police gaining more power and the downsizing of the Riigikogu. Both reforms barely passed and both have received praise and criticism. The Misdemeanor Punishment Act was an act that turned the pre-trial Arrest Houses and holding centres into facilities that can house inmates for more serious Misdemeanor charges until their sentence is up. Another far more controversial part of the Act permitted arrestees on Misdemeanor charges to be booked in and service their time without receiving a trial. There is however an exception in the case that the inmate wishes to appeal the charge and be freed by the Circuit Court. The Act has been praised as decentralizing the prison system and has gotten heavy criticism for violation the right for people to receive a trial, giving police too much power and more. International and domestic watchdogs have lowered the ranking of Estonia for this Act and many legal cases to remove the latter part of this Act are underway. The Riigikogu downsizing Amendment was a Constitutional Amendment that passed. It downsized the size of the Riigikogy from 101 to one per County. This was done in an effort to increase the political power of Rural countries as the cities of Estonia have been criticized for having too much power over the rural parts of the Nation. It was praised for increasing the power of the Rural countries but was condemned by some as Harju County, holding around a third of the Nation's population has a single seat in the Riigikogu.
