By Plenary Sessions: Helle-Moonika Helme

The economic views are strongly fiscally conservative, opposing the drain of funds via government spending and bailout packages that burden taxpayers and businesses. It is stressed that the green transition is draining the last penny from the pockets of entrepreneurs, and Rail Baltic is opposed as a project that is unaffordable and unreasonably expensive. There is a perceived danger that these large-scale ideas will force businesses to shut down.

The economic views expressed are strongly opposed to tax increases, emphasizing that the government is taking money directly from pensioners, working individuals, and families. Fiscal discipline is preferred, achieved by cutting costs (specifically bureaucracy) and abandoning the planned abolition of the tax bulge (or 'tax hump'), a move that would save half a billion euros. They reject the government's assertion that citizens must pay more because of the budget deficit.

The speaker strongly opposes measures that reduce the income of pensioners (abolition of indexation) and impose compulsory expenditures on people (mandatory renovation). The emphasis is on protecting citizens from financial obligations imposed by the government and preserving the right to personal decision-making in managing expenditures.

Economic views are highly critical of large renewable energy projects, which are deemed enormously wasteful, requiring hundreds of billions, and driving the nation into poverty. It supports the economic freedom of private forest owners and maritime businesses and opposes Brussels regulations that restrict the economic use of private property.

Economic views are strongly fiscally conservative, opposing the state budget deficit and tax hikes resulting from government spending. Concern is emphasized regarding the bankruptcy of small businesses and rising unemployment. They demand that the government be transparent about how taxpayer money is allocated, noting that the deficit is roughly the same size as the amount provided for aid to Ukraine.

The speaker is vehemently opposed to the government spending money on ideological propaganda, demanding that resources be redirected toward social services and the salaries of police officers, rescuers, and teachers. Concern was highlighted regarding Estonia’s negative economic growth—the only one of its kind in Europe—and the government was criticized for blaming citizens for living beyond their means.

The speaker advocates for directing state budget funds toward the construction and modernization of nationally significant cultural sites, while simultaneously criticizing the "reckless" distribution of the nation's financial resources abroad. Furthermore, he is critical of the Cultural Endowment's funding system, which leaves cultural institutions dependent on excise taxes derived from alcohol, tobacco, and gambling.

Economic views are fiscally conservative and protectionist, demanding the immediate termination of foreign aid due to the state budget deficit and pressing domestic needs. It is emphasized that not a single euro should leave the country as foreign aid until domestic priorities (teachers' salaries, education, the road network) are addressed.
