By Plenary Sessions: Helle-Moonika Helme

The political position is one of strong opposition to the government's budget priorities and economic policy. The most acute issues are the underfunding of culture (specifically ERSO salaries and budget cuts) and the economic decline, which has now lasted 13 consecutive quarters. The political framework is results-oriented, accusing the government of "incompetent and corrupt governance" and neglecting the constitutional priority of protecting culture.

The political position is highly critical of the government’s preparation of tax changes, stressing the need for extreme caution. The speaker questions the fairness of the tax incentives, criticizing the preference shown to a wealthy NGO (Estonian Refugee Council) over funds dedicated to helping local people. This is primarily results-oriented and values-based criticism that calls the government’s priorities into question.

The political stance is strongly oppositional, focusing on the current government's (the Reform Party and its coalition) poor economic performance and administrative competence. Key issues include the rapid growth of national debt, failed IT projects (SKAIS), and the absence of people-centered healthcare. The speaker demands that the government stop apologizing and start taking action for the benefit of the Estonian people, highlighting the superior economic legacy of their previous administration (EKRE, Center Party, Isamaa).

The political position is strongly oppositional to the government's state budget, which is viewed as a façade sustained purely by borrowed money. The sharpest criticism is leveled at the Ministry of Defence's salary hikes and recruitment efforts, which are starkly contrasted with the desperate funding shortfall facing ERSO. The focus is on the government's poor economic stewardship and the negative impact of tax increases, thereby calling into question the government's narrative of generosity and care. The political framework is primarily results-oriented and value-driven, pitting the government's perceived megalomania against the daily struggle for survival faced by orchestra musicians.

The political focus centers on the specifics of reducing the tax burden for families and ensuring transparency in its implementation. The speaker sharply criticizes the government's failure to clarify whether the already paid car tax will be refunded directly to families' bank accounts or if it will simply remain on the Tax Board's prepayment account. This stance is strongly geared toward ensuring promises are kept and protecting the financial interests of families.
