By Plenary Sessions: Helle-Moonika Helme

Economic perspectives focus on reducing the state budget deficit and keeping taxpayer money within Estonia. They oppose unconditional foreign aid (€1 billion) and demand that €100 million be redirected toward domestic needs to avoid tax hikes (car tax, VAT) and social spending cuts (Health Insurance Fund, large families).

Economic perspectives stress the necessity of maintaining national control over strategic mineral resources to guarantee the nation's resource independence. Opposition is voiced against ceding these resources to foreign partners under the guise of meeting European green objectives.

Economic perspectives are strongly opposed to the excise duty hikes, arguing that they fuel cross-border trade and result in a loss of tax revenue to Latvia. The speaker stresses that the government's actions have led to a general rise in prices across Estonia, forcing people to purchase fuel, essential goods, and groceries from Latvia. He criticizes the Ministry of Finance's impact assessment as completely detached from reality and utterly naive.

The speaker strongly defends the inviolability of property and the right to privacy concerning the EU's proposed asset register, which would include cash reserves. He/She criticizes the government's tax policy—calling it a "tax tornado"—and the budget reduction for the Health Insurance Fund, arguing that this negatively affects the working conditions and pay of healthcare workers.

The economic perspectives are focused on protecting the well-being of the Estonian people, emphasizing the growing number of households facing payment difficulties and the rising cost of food, which makes Estonia the country with the most expensive food in Europe, second only to Denmark. The speaker is fiscally skeptical regarding foreign aid, suspecting that money, both flowing into Estonia and being disbursed by Estonia, disappears without actually increasing the welfare of the nation.
