By Plenary Sessions: Kalle Grünthal

The speaker voices opposition to the Ministry of Environment's position, which places aviation competitiveness and EU GDP growth above public health. He/She criticizes the economic arguments being used to justify potentially hazardous fuel additives in the aviation sector.

The speaker strongly advocates for lowering excise duties (including the excise duty on natural gas) to alleviate the tax burden on the population and preserve purchasing power. The objective is to maintain the competitiveness of businesses and curb the rise in unemployment, which indicates support for a growth-oriented fiscal policy.

Economic positions are not stated; the economic activity (the shipping of goods to Russia) is treated solely in the context of a political and ethical violation.

The economic perspectives expressed are strongly critical of the avarice of major corporations that flooded the market with unresearched drugs purely for the sake of massive profit. The speaker points out that the budgets of these corporations are many times greater than those of entire nations, and suspects that financial interests are prioritized over public health concerns. He specifically references the funding provided by the Bill Gates foundation and its alleged link to depopulation objectives.

The economic outlook is heavily focused on protecting private property rights and the free market. The speaker opposes new taxes (such as the car tax) and mandatory renovation costs, viewing them as tools for the liquidation of private property, comparable to historically excessive burdens. He emphasizes that property rights guarantee a free market.

He/She strongly advocates for lowering income tax, arguing that this move boosts net income, stimulates consumption, investment, and employment, thereby leading to economic growth. He/She opposes the government's tax hikes, which, in his/her estimation, reduce incomes, impact the cost of living, and incentivize the use of under-the-table payments (or 'envelope wages').

There is not enough data.

The economic views expressed are critical of large and costly projects (such as Rail Baltic), which are deemed harmful to the Estonian economy and destructive to the country’s natural resources. He opposes tax increases, arguing that people should be allowed to keep their money. Furthermore, he advocates for preserving the domestic mining sector, while opposing the extraction and export of resources carried out by foreign firms.

Not enough data

Economic perspectives emphasize the importance of national fiscal sovereignty, calling into question the mandatory compliance with VAT rates set by the European Union. An independent right to levy taxes is preferred.

The speaker emphasizes the dire economic situation of the workforce (teachers) and criticizes the government's position that additional funds cannot be allocated due to the approved budget. He supports the right to strike as a means of solving economic problems, thereby opposing rigid budgetary discipline.

Economic perspectives are linked to agriculture and the green transition, indirectly alluding to the opposition against regulations that are causing widespread protests and economic damage among farmers.
