By Plenary Sessions: Mart Võrklaev

The political stance focuses on the details of the State Budget Act and procedural correctness. Specifically, emphasis is placed on confirming the existence of the formula for the local government support and equalization fund within the text of the law. This is a policy- and detail-centric approach that stresses the precision of legislation.

The political stance centers on defending the tax policy, emphasizing the positive impact of abolishing the previous tax hump, which left more net money in the hands of people earning the average wage (such as teachers). This position is strongly policy- and fact-based, defending earlier decisions against the opponent’s accusations. The speaker stresses that certain tax increases, when combined with expanding the income tax-free minimum, can actually bring financial benefit to people.
